UAE President Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan is reported to be willing to continue military cooperation with Moscow regarding the needed upgrades of the UAE’s Russian-made Pantsir-S1 short-range air defense systems.
However, talks are going slow between UAE Armed Forces and Russian Instrument Design Bureau over the new upgrade configurations and increases to the Pantsir radar range.
President Sheikh Mohammad is said to be aware of several alternative platforms including the Polish-made SPZR Poprad system.
Tactical Report has prepared a 376-word report to shed more light on this subject.
