Ukraine proposed to give the U.S. its battle-proven technology for downing Iranian drones. Why did The U.S. dismiss it?

size and complexity (and $$) characterize much US military tech the Abrams tank is a good example: it requires extensive training, guzzles gas, and requires a maintenance vehicle to follow it. Ukraine has the highest % of engineers in Europe and they’ve put them to work

I've yet to see any video evidence of Ukraine using a "cheap cloud of defensive drones" in their skies.

Can you link to any?

I understand the claim, but I watch a LOT of Ukraine footage.

I've yet to see any evidence that Ukraine has and has used any kind of a swarm configuration as a defense, using drones.

Great tool for their defense.

I submit that it's still not common yet, and just as swarms are used to show off the technology (olympic ceremonies, for example) it's not like Ukraine would be the only source for information on the subject of using swarms of drones.
