An Israeli defense contractor is supplying Ukrainian military with anti-drone systems via Poland, The Times of Israel reported citing Zman Yisrael.

According to the source, the equipment was sold to Poland to circumvent Israel's refusal to sell advanced weaponry to Ukraine. The company told the Defense Ministry that the sale was made to Poland and claimed that it was unaware that Warsaw was acting as an intermediary to transfer the weapons to Kiev.

Defense industry sources explained that the drone defense systems, which can intercept drones, are classified as advanced defense technology and therefore not approved for sale to Ukraine. However, the Israeli government does not seem interested in torpedoing the deal. There has been no comment from the Defense Ministry so far.
