UNITED ARAB EMIRATES (UAE) - The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has recorded that its air defense has intercepted 268 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles, and 1,514 drones since the start of the US-Israeli war against Iran.

The UAE Ministry of Defense in its upload on its X account, @modgovae, on Thursday, February 12, also explained that the attacks that hit the UAE territory to date have killed six people and 131 others were lightly to moderately injured.

In defending its territory from air threats, the UAE is known to use the Patriot missile defense system, the PAC-3 variant, and the THAAD system produced by the US.

The defense system is designed to detect and destroy ballistic missiles to drones that attack the UAE. However, in one prevention it costs a lot.
