Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on the 5th, "Middle Eastern countries have fired over 800 Patriot interception missiles (PAC-3) in the three days since the outbreak of the war," adding, "Ukraine has never had that many missiles." He wants to receive Patriot batteries and missiles in exchange for transferring interception drones and drone warfare expertise.
It is known that the United States and Middle Eastern countries are also highly interested in Ukraine's drone warfare 'know-how.' Rear Admiral Matt Ross, director of the 'Joint Agency Task Force 401' (JIATF 401) established by the U.S. military in August of last year to develop tactics for countering small drones, stated, "Ukraine can identify and repel drone threats from any direction-east, west, south, or north-through a network that integrates acoustic, passive, and active detection systems."
When Ukraine detects an enemy drone via radar, it notifies strike unit personnel lying in wait near the predicted attack path. It is said that the procedure for shooting down drones has been standardized into three main methods: interception drones, electronic warfare, and physical strikes.
Electronic warfare methods include ‘jamming,' which disrupts enemy drones' GPS reception with powerful radio waves, and 'GPS spoofing,' which brings down drones with fake signals.
Initially, Ukrainian infantry primarily used 'jamming guns' to disrupt radio waves, but as experience accumulated, they have determined that physically shooting down drones is more effective.

烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基5日指出:「自戰爭爆發以來的3天內,中東國家已發射超過800枚『愛國者』攔截飛彈。」他表示:「烏克蘭從未擁有過如此多的飛彈。」他希望以提供攔截無人機與無人機作戰經驗,換取更多「愛國者」系統與飛彈支援。
據了解,美國與中東國家對烏克蘭在無人機作戰方面累積的「實戰經驗」高度關注。美軍去年8月成立「第401聯合跨部門特遣部隊」,專門研究對抗小型無人機戰術。該部隊指揮官羅斯准將表示:「烏克蘭已建立整合聲學、被動與主動偵測系統的網絡,可從東、西、南、北各個方向辨識並應對無人機威脅。」
當烏克蘭透過雷達發現敵方無人機時,便會通知部署在預測航線附近待命的打擊單位。擊落無人機的程序已標準化為3種主要方式:攔截無人機、電子戰,以及實體火力打擊。
電子戰手段包括「干擾」,以強力無線電波阻斷敵方無人機GPS訊號,以及「GPS欺騙」,透過偽造訊號使無人機偏離航線或墜落。
起初,烏克蘭步兵主要使用「干擾槍」破壞無人機的無線電訊號;隨著作戰經驗累積,他們發現直接射下無人機更有效。
