The United Arab Emirates are at the forefront of the conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel. During the first 40 days of the war, the Emirates were targeted by more than 2,800 Iranian missiles and drones. France has worked hard to help intercept as many missiles and drones as possible, especially with the help of the Rafale jets from the French Navy, as well as the use of Fennec helicopters. But Israel has also played its part, according to the US Ambassador to Jerusalem Mike Huckabee during a conference at Tel Aviv University.
According to Mike Huckabee, Israel has sent the United Arab Emirates batteries of its well-known Iron Dome anti-aircraft defense system. The ambassador explains it as the result of the excellent relationship between the two countries, allowing this preferential treatment. The United Arab Emirates have also enhanced their relationship with Ukraine, which sent a delegation of experts in anti-aircraft combat, particularly in anti-drone warfare, as both countries face various threats from Russia and Iran, especially with the significant use of Shahed drones (or equivalent in Russia).
