- Britain deploys a new low-cost counter-drone system in the Middle East.
- Ministry of Defence says the system moved from testing to operational use within months.
The British government has announced the deployment of a new low-cost system designed to counter drones in the Middle East.
The Ministry of Defence said the system is already in use across operational theatres in the region, marking a rapid transition from testing to deployment within a matter of months.
Officials said the development was achieved through close cooperation with the defence industry to accelerate production and field readiness.
The system is aimed at improving protection against the growing use of drones in modern conflict zones, where such technology has increasingly been used in surveillance and attacks.
The announcement comes as Western militaries expand air defence capabilities in response to evolving threats across multiple active regions.
