UAE Orders French Radar Systems Worth $397 Million
The United Arab Emirates has ordered 17 anti-aircraft radar systems worth about 300 million euros ($397 million) from Thales, French defence ministry said on Tuesday.
The deal, clinched during a visit by French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, came a day after the UAE signed an agreement worth more than 700 million euros for two French military surveillance satellites.
Le Drian has made re-establishing trade ties with the UAE -- a traditional customer for the French arms industry -- a priority, holding several meetings with top officials.
Before the two deals in two days, the last significant military orders received by France from the UAE dated back to 2007.
