Joe Ga deliberately leaked the news of the UAE's major procurement...
In fact, it's not just the UAE; Qatar has an even larger order.
Boss Joe wants to use these arms orders to motivate those arms companies to get involved and work hard.
Don't need you to fight, just bring your goods over for me to test. Only if the trial results are satisfactory, will you qualify for the final bidding.
The UAE's status is not crucial, so their political needs won't be too high.
A combat aircraft procurement order of $15 billion is enough to make companies like Dassault and Mikoyan go all out.
If you add Qatar's undefined upper limit arms purchase plan, not only will those selling fighter jets rush over, but even those selling ground army equipment will come running, calling 'Daddy'.
After all, arms are still commodities; they have political implications, but these implications depend on who and at what time.
