An additional 34 specialists are ready to be dispatched.
The spokesman emphasized that Ukrainian expert teams are currently working with Middle Eastern countries, and high-level contacts are ongoing, including visits by the leadership of Ukraine's security and defense sector.
In this context, it is important to understand that only Ukraine, one state in the world, has at its disposal a comprehensive system for countering air threats currently emanating from Iran.
He also added that Ukraine possesses a comprehensive system for countering air threats.
Firstly, it involves a whole range of equipment that ensures its operation, from radars to command posts and so on. Secondly, it is, of course, about interception experience, i.e., the software that allows for effective countermeasures. And most importantly, these are specialists, experts with experience who know how to do it.
He clarified that no other country currently has similar experience.
No one in the world, except Ukraine, has such experience, and this is what makes us interesting to the Gulf countries. Recently, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stated that 11 countries have requested such support from Ukraine in recent weeks. And some countries, by the way, have already thanked for practical support, some Arab countries.
