According to sources of the publication, at least two companies are involved — SkyFall and Wild Hornets, which produce interceptor drones. These devices are designed for the physical destruction of enemy UAVs, either by direct ramming or by detonation near the target.
Aramco seeks to conclude deals as soon as possible, ahead of the interests of Saudi Arabian state entities and regional competitors, including Qatar.
In addition to interceptors, electronic warfare systems from Phantom Defense are being discussed, capable of jamming enemy control and navigation channels.
If agreements are reached, Ukrainian technologies could become part of the defense system for oil enterprises and processing complexes in Saudi Arabia.
