The US will transfer experimental weapons to counter Iranian drones to Ukraine.

These new weapons will be included in the recently announced military aid package, writes Defense One. The defense company SAIC will send 10 mobile c-UAS anti-drone systems to Ukraine.

It successfully tested BAE Systems’ APKWS laser-guided missiles in January, which showed 100% hit accuracy. The tests aimed to destroy third-class drones weighing more than 25 kg, although the Shahed-136 weighs about 220 kg.

SAIC said that one shot of their system costs less than $30,000, much cheaper than the classic air defense missiles currently being used by Ukraine.

During the tests, the system detected the drone at about 10 km and struck at 5 km, although a range of 2 km was required.

The complex also contains an M240 machine gun installation and an electronic warfare system that can take control of commercial drones, including the infamous Chinese DJI.
