IDEX 2025: UAE presents its industrial aspirations

Only a fewer years ago, the UAE was not associated with the arms manufacture – and rightly so, due to the fact that the UAE spent billions of dollars buying weapons worldwide. However, the situation has changed in fresh years. This breakthrough was symbolized by EDGE, established in 2019, which rapidly grew up to be a crucial player on the global stage. Next to it there are other, less-known companies. 1 of them is Calidus, who during IDEX 2019 presented a light combat aircraft B-250. Without a doubt, the United arabian Emirates are now a regional leader in the arms sector.
