As part of a survey found within the report, the UAE was identified as a particular area for growth by senior professionals from within the armoured vehicles domain, and the opening of Streit Group's Ras Al Khaimah plant serves to further demonstrate the increasing importance of the region to the industry.
Speaking to Defence IQ, Streit Group Chairman Guerman Goutorov explained that they chose the UAE was because it acts as a hub to their international business activities:
"The UAE is a very well located country geographically […] you have access to Asia, Africa, Europe and the other Middle East countries […] you're connected to all the world."
Streit Group will be joining regional and international manufacturers including NIMR, Al Taif, International Armoured Group at this month's Armoured Vehicles UAE conference (28th-30th May, Abu Dhabi).
The event provides a forum for military decision makers and senior industry professionals to discuss the future direction of the country's armoured vehicles market, as well as hear direct insight into the UAE Armed Forces' armoured vehicle modernisation programmes, including updates on the international Request for Proposals for up to 600 8x8 wheeled combat vehicles issued by the UAE Armed Forces earlier this year.
Keynote presentations will be provided by representatives from the UAE Armed Forces GHQ, including Brigadier Rashed Al Kaabi, Deputy Director Maintenance Corps, Brigadier Hassan Mohammed Sultan Bani-Hamad, Commander, 5th Armoured Brigade and Colonel Yahya Shaheen Al Hammadi, Director of Joint Logistics.
