participation is largely explained by the experience accumulated by its Armed Forces over the past few years. Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Ukraine had to face constant attacks with Shahed drones, the same models developed by Iran and used by Moscow as part of its military strategy

These drones have been used by Russia as a saturation tool to attack energy infrastructure, critical facilities and urban centers, with the aim of exhausting Ukrainian air defense systems.
