Ukraine is deploying small teams of drone specialists to Africa and the Middle East to train local forces, support anti-Russian groups, and target Russian interests. Around 15 Ukrainian specialists are operating in northern Mali alongside the Tuareg-led Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), providing drone training, intelligence, and remote operational support. Ukrainian personnel have also trained forces from Chad, Niger, and Burkina Faso, and operated in Sudan. In Libya, Ukrainian naval drone operators are attacking Russia's 'shadow fleet'. In the Middle East, Ukraine sent teams to at least five countries to teach shooting down Iranian Shahed drones.
