So let's not forget that when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. It is BECAUSE the UAE thought they were sneaky and hired incompetent mercenaries to kill the GNA and take Tripoli for Haftar that the Russians sent mercenaries to Libya in September.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The UAE wasted $80 million on round one for mercenaries in June and who knows how much on round two in March, paid to fly in 80,000 tons of Yemen-based weapons and other junk (and shipped a bunch out) and have lost at least 4 Pantsirs at $15M a copy.
The Saudis wasted $500 million on Haftar, Egypt wasted money providing bases and advisors, the French wasted money on advisors and Trump wasted a phone call.

This is interesting. But I honestly don't know what products and services normal people use from the UAE. Other than weapons, mercenaries and money laundering
