• The US State Department approved a $1.98 billion sale of Anduril-made counter-drone systems to Kuwait.
• The deal includes electronic and kinetic defeat capabilities against unmanned aerial systems.
• Kuwait requested various counter-drone platforms and equipment, including personnel training and logistical support.
• The sale aims to improve Kuwait's capability to meet current and future threats.

This sale may signal a strategic shift in Kuwait's defense strategy, focusing on counter-drone capabilities to address low-altitude threats. The deal could enhance Kuwait's defenses and provide a layered, integrated counter-drone network, which suggests a growing concern about Iranian aggression in the region.
