Wild Hornets' STING interceptor is the world's most battle-tested counter-Shahed drone. In Ukraine: 6,300+ flights, 1,500+ Russian UAVs destroyed in February 2026 alone. UAE and Qatar are placing massive orders. Saudi Aramco was reported in talks (WSJ March 12, 2026). Pulsar Expo can offer the mobile C2 vehicle infrastructure to deploy STING interceptor squadrons from Terrastorm platforms — a complete packaged solution.

SkyFall's P1-SUN interceptor drone is in active talks with multiple Middle Eastern governments as of March 2026. Saudi Aramco reported in direct negotiations (WSJ, March 12). SkyFall stated "many Middle Eastern countries have approached them." Awaiting Ukrainian government export permits. Same C2 platform requirement as Wild Hornets — Pulsar Terrastorm is the natural mobile launch and command vehicle.

TAF Industries confirmed: UAE has placed a request for 5,000 Octopus interceptor drones, Qatar for 2,000, and Kuwait has also expressed interest. Founder Oleksandr Yakovenko confirmed these figures publicly in March 2026. This represents the largest confirmed interceptor drone procurement in the Gulf — and each of these requires mobile C2 platforms to deploy and operate. Pulsar Expo is the natural vehicle partner for TAF's Gulf deployment.
