TL;DR

The UAE is negotiating with India to purchase BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles and Indian-made air defense systems, according to a Reuters report cited by Israeli media.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The UAE is in advanced talks to acquire BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles and air defense systems from India, according to a Reuters report cited by Israeli media. The BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile jointly developed by India and Russia, with a range of up to 400 kilometers and capable of being launched from land, sea, and air platforms. The potential deal would mark a significant deepening of defense ties between Abu Dhabi and New Delhi, both of which have increasingly aligned against shared regional threats. The report did not specify the value or timeline of the proposed deal, nor whether it has received necessary export approvals. The Zioneer has not independently confirmed the report.
