Is Ukraine saving America from "Shaheds"? Pentagon admits helplessness against Iranian drones

Iranian Shahed strike drones are becoming an increasingly serious threat to air defense systems. The Pentagon acknowledges that these UAVs are harder to intercept than expected: they fly low, slow, and can more effectively evade air defenses. That's why the US, along with Persian Gulf countries, is considering purchasing Ukrainian interceptors that have proven their effectiveness against such drones on the battlefield.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine emphasize: Traditional air defense systems don't always guarantee interception of every aerial target. The video explains why Ukrainian drone counter-technology has started interesting allies and how Ukraine's war experience can change modern air defense systems.
