Ukraine has built a new air defence architecture that integrates traditional capabilities, interceptor drones, and networked systems, reshaping the rules of modern warfare.
Deputy Minister of Defence of Ukraine Anna Gvozdiar stated this during the parliamentary discussion "Drone Protection for UK Soldiers - Learning from Ukraine" at the House of Lords.
"Over nearly four years, our air defence system has evolved from a relatively expensive, classical model into a flexible, multi-tiered structure in which high-tech complexes operate in synergy with mass, cost-effective solutions. This is a story of adaptability and ingenuity — Ukrainians are not merely defending themselves but setting new standards of security for future wars," noted Anna Gvozdiar.
The Deputy Minister of Defence joined the discussion online.
During the event, British parliamentarians, defence sector representatives, and Ukrainian innovators discussed Ukraine's practical experience in countering UAVs and how this experience could be applied within NATO and UK approaches.
Anna Gvozdiar emphasised that the Ukrainian approach is based on practicality, rapid implementation of solutions, and the ability to continuously adapt to new challenges.
She expressed gratitude to the House of Lords for its consistent and systematic support for Ukraine, in particular for facilitating the transfer of interceptor systems for air defence and for supporting the development of Ukrainian interceptor drone production. The Deputy Minister of Defence further underlined that close collaboration in technological development strengthens our militaries and enhances the security of the entire free world.
