UK's Starmer may send thousands of drones to the Middle East, The Telegraph reports

March 14 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer may send thousands of interceptor drones to the Middle East, The Telegraph reported on Saturday.

Military officials are examining whether the "Octopus" interceptor anti-drone drone system, which is manufactured in the UK for Ukraine to use against Russia, can also be used to bolster British defenses against Iran's Shahed drones, the report said.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
