Description

The Security Brief speaks exclusively to a Ukrainian Special Forces Drone Commander on how the US and its allies in the Middle East can defend themselves against the Iranian Shahed drone – the same type of one-way attack vehicle used by the Russians to cause death and destruction across Ukraine. As the US-Israel war with Iran continues, we take a closer look at what both sides have been targeting and look under the bonnet of Iran’s kamikaze drone. What can the region do to counter the Shahed-136 and will America’s current defence mechanisms be enough? This is The Security Brief with the BBC’s Christian Fraser and former Senior British Military Officer, Mikey Kay.

Before sending any drones, Zelensky should ask Trump and Vance to wear suit and show some gratitude.

It's almost like working with your allies rather than sabotaging them at every turn is a good military strategy

Ironic isn’t it Trump turns his back on Ukraine & now needs help dealing with drones from Iran, Zelenskyy needs throw back the same quote Trump threw at him “Your Gambling With WW3” because we are certainly heading in that direction thanks to Trump…..
