HOW UKRAINE’S DRONES AND RUSSIA’S RECONNAISSANCE FIT INTO THE IRAN WAR - Join the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center for a discussion examining the roles of Russia and Ukraine in the Iran war.

The military campaign by the US, Israel, and their partners to counter an aggressive Iran in the Middle East has been complicated by reported Russian assistance, including targeting data and drone components that improve the effectiveness of Iranian strikes. The current conflict has also exposed a gap between low-cost drone warfare and Western defenses. Combat in Ukraine has produced practical expertise in countering these threats, and as Moscow increases risks to the US and its partners, Ukrainians are poised to share this knowledge.

Join this hybrid discussion, moderated by Ambassador John Herbst, to discuss the roles of Ukraine, Russia, and drone technology in the war with Iran.
