Navies can’t give the same force multiplier as a good Air Force in my opinion especially for countries with geopolitical interests so close like the UAE.

UAE bought Gowind 2500 which are quite well armed but they need something like the FREMM or Arleigh Burke in the future.

They are trying to develop missiles indigenously and I hope that goes well, they unveiled an anti ship missile at IDEX.

UAE, Saudi, Kuwait and Qatar navies are all very small relative to air strength and major reason why the need US naval protection.

Navies are very manpower intensive. Just for one Frigate you need a crew of 100 trained men plus 10 officers, most navies have two crews per ship, so 200 men plus 20 officers. Arabs do not have this level of manpower, even tehri armies are small and most geared towards guarding the Royal family.

Take Saudi Navy, PN trains all their cadets at PN Academy, around 50 every year, and this is barely enough for their small navy.

Also it takes a lot of manpower, training, time and infrastructure to maintain and operate a sub fleet, as we see even India struggles here.

Solution, Iranian naval assets are toast if the need arises to take them out.

Can't any required sailors be drafted into the navy just like they are drafted into the UAE army.

I imagine so, but how many UAE Nationals of male fighting age are there? How popular would such a move be?

There is already conscription for all males under a certain age iirc so it shouldn't be too difficult to divert some of those thousands joining yearly to the navy.

The UAE having a total ethnic population of only 900 thousand people, and with the age requirements for Active Duty enlistees (including Army, Navy and Airforce) between 17 and 30 yr old, I would put the total of male fighting males in the UAE at no more than 40 thousand total. Not much to make an army indeed. Reason why UAE pilots are most of them Australian, French and American pilots who served in Yemen and Libya and committed war crimes on unarmed civilians. This war tragedy is yet to be addressed in War Crime tribunals.

"Philip the Arab" will never like Iran or Palestine or Pakistan for that matter. He sees Muslim countries who possess sovereignty and military/political independence as a threat to Israel and he is right. Israel's occupation of Palestine won't last long when Muslim nations are strong. His goal here is to embellish whatever he sees great about UAE the protégé of Israel and Israel itself. As a third generation American, he has the right to do so though.

Great Salam to Pakistan, among countries that do not accept Israeli passports, including Algeria, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen.

If you want a death trap for your Navy personals then yes otherwise a fleet of missiles boat in numbers are best for UAE navy ....

Iranian naval assets are toast ? This is Iran : GDP 714. Billion, Population 84 Million , Human Development Index 70 , Global Fire Power ranked 14. Is Iran toast compared to countries like your favorite the UAE, who even though it is Israel's protégé, it doesn't possess a real Army to protect its own borders ? Iran is a sovereign nation, sure of its own history, a child nation of Persia, one of the greatest World Civilizations.

They already have many of with the Baynunahs and Falaj-2 and 3s but there is not enough expansion in my opinion.
