In this regard, an agreement on hypersonic systems is said to be closer than ever between Abu Dhabi and Washington.
The note provides a comprehensive overview of the following aspects:
- The reason behind the Pentagon’s decision to meet the Emirati request
- The U.S.-made hypersonic missile eyed by the UAE
