The UAE continues to provide host-nation support of vital U.S. forces stationed at Al Dhafra Air Base and plays a vital role in supporting U.S. regional interests. The UAE has proven to be a valued partner and an active participant in coalition operations. The UAE will have no difficulty absorbing these additional munitions into its armed forces,&#8221; the Pentagon said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The principal contractors will be <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">The <\/span>Boeing <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Company in Chicago, Illinois; <\/span>and Raytheon Missile Systems<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">in Tucson, Arizona<\/span>, it states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sale comes as the second deal publicized after President Barack Obama met Arabian Gulf leaders at Camp David, Maryland, in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On May 20, Saudi Arabia requested the sale of 10 Sea Hawk helicopters as part of its naval expansion program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The UAE request for additional 1600 GBUs is likely to replace PGMs that have been used in air operations in both Operation Inherent Storm and perhaps in Operation Decisive Force,&#8221; said Dr Theodore Karasik, a Dubai-based geopolitical analyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;That the order is coming now is likely timed to make sure that American made weaponry is delivered in a timely manner for future operations in the [Middle East and North Africa] <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">MENA <\/span>theater. The Emiratis are well aware of the time it takes for Washington to make the authorization on the actual weapon transfer, so now is the time to act given the regional threat trajectory,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Email: <\/b><a href=\"mailto:amustafa@defensenews.com\"
