🚨 The US is now deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East.
Let that sink in.

The administration that cut off Ukraine’s weapons.
That humiliated Zelensky in the Oval Office. That called him a dictator.

Is now using Ukrainian technology to survive a war they started with no plan.

Here’s the math Iran figured out:

US Patriot missile: $4 million.

Iranian Shahad drone: $35,000.

Iran is flooding the zone with cheap drones until the Gulf states run out of expensive counter-munitions. It’s the same strategy they used against Russia — and Ukraine has been fighting it 250-350 drones at a time, 4-5 days a week, for two years.

Ukraine’s interceptor costs $3,000 each.

The most powerful military on earth is now dependent on a $3,000 Ukrainian quad-copter to survive an illegal war built on a 30-year-old lie.


Zelensky didn’t need us.

We needed him.
