The Israeli ELM-2080S Green Pine radar
The UAE, via its embassy in "Tel Aviv", reached out to the Israeli Security Ministry to see how a formal request for sending an advanced Israeli radar to Abu Dhabi would be received.
The UAE is looking to acquire an advanced version of the Green Pine radar, a device designed to intercept ballistic missiles in light of the soaring Emirati fears of another retaliatory Yemeni operation following all the crimes committed in Yemen.
Such a deal would mark a "historic" deal between "Tel Aviv" and Abu Dhabi since it would be the first major military tech acquisition between the two.
If the Israeli occupation approves the sale, the UAE would have a training session in occupied Palestine and then pack up their new equipment and go home, having become more of an accomplice to Israeli criminality against the Palestinian people.
The Israeli ministry declined to comment on the reports, but sources said the UAE was pursuing the Israeli solution for detecting ballistic missiles.
"Tel Aviv" is yet to make a decision, but an evaluation of the request could come within a few days. If the security ministry supports the acquisition, the UAE would file an official request for the system.
Elta, a subsidiary of "Israel Aerospace Industries", said the Green Pine Radar would have the ability to detect and track dozens of missiles from long ranges. The UAE is reportedly interested in the ELM-2090s, an advanced version of the Green Pine.
The Israeli occupation had been planning on deploying missile detection systems in the UAE as a means to protect itself from any attacks from Yemen.
"If detection and warning systems are deployed in the UAE, they will be a cornerstone for a regional air defense system," Israeli media said.
Reportedly, if these systems were to be deployed in the UAE, they would warn the occupation ahead of time of any imminent attack.
The Israeli fears come as concerns mount they could be Sanaa's next target as the Yemeni army and popular committees' capabilities prove to be far more developed than they were thought to be.
The UAE had also signed a multi-billion deal for Lockheed Martin's Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAD) anti-missile system.
