Armament, , Strategic Perception, , Military Spending, , Security ChallengesAbstract
After 2015, the political decision-maker in the UAE decided to work on increasing military capabilities. This increase is definitely related to an armament, which comes from two sources. The first one is external from weapon exporting countries. Such countries are identified in the research sections. As for the second source, it comes through the local weapon industry, and this source has developed greatly through the large number of weapons that have been produced in the Emirates. Both sources contributed to increasing the military capabilities of the state. This increase and development is related to the UAE military spending, which has also evolved for budgets that have been allocated to increase the size of the UAE military capabilities.
