Naval muscle
The UAE has technologically-advanced vessels that significantly boost the country's capability to secure its territorial waters as well as conduct surveillance and patrolling missions.
The warships have stealth design and advanced anti-ship and surface-to-air missile systems, with latest-generation electronic and radar equipment for full spectrum of naval defense operations. These naval vessels ensure superiority in open seas missions, including patrolling and surveillance operations as well as self-defence from air and surface threats.
Where to watch
The Ministry earlier announced Union Fortress 9 military parade is open to the public. Those interested can witness firsthand on Yas Island or via giant screens positioned on both sides of the main platform and display site.
