The UK has dispatched a cutting-edge air defence system, codenamed Rapid Ranger, to the Gulf area. This short-range system is specifically engineered to neutralize drone threats, boasting an effective range of approximately 8km and the capability to engage fast-moving targets. On Friday morning, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer engaged in a discussion with the crown prince of Kuwait regarding the deployment. This move is part of a broader military presence in the Gulf, with another system en route to Saudi Arabia, where it will be seamlessly integrated into the kingdom’s comprehensive defence infrastructure.
