UAE Armed Forces deputy chief of staff major-general Mohammed Suhaih al Kaabi said three dozen countries possess ballistic missiles, half of whom were in Asia or the Middle East.
“The threat of attack of long-range ballistic missiles is real. We must be prepared to defend our people, nation and region against any threat,” he said.
The UAE will equip itself with the latest missile systems and is also building a sophisticated missile defence system.
The country is procuring and upgrading its Patriot missiles and theatre ballistic missile weaponry.
