London: British citizens and regional partners will be better protected against drone attacks as the Royal Air Force deploys a new low-cost anti-drone weapon on operations in the Middle East, according to the Ministry of Defence said.
According to Emirates News Agency, the new Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) will be fitted to RAF Typhoon fighter jets, allowing them to destroy targets precisely and at a fraction of the price of missiles currently used. The Ministry of Defence detailed this development in a press release, highlighting the cost-effectiveness and precision of the APKWS.
The system has now been deployed on operations in the Middle East, with sorties flown by 9 Squadron RAF Typhoon fighter jets. These missions aim to defend British people, interests, and partners from threats in the region, marking a significant step in enhancing regional security.
