UAE (United Arab Emirates) claimed that there are US-made security cracking components in the two military imaging satellites that it was willing to purchase from France. It has threatened to cancel the 3.4 billion dirhams deal.
US-based Defense News has reported the matter though it has not directly mentioned the involvement of US’ National Security Agency (NSA). The US spy agency’s continuous involvement in hacking activities aiming at mobile, computing, and cloud storage devices has been a major point of concern.
The deal which was signed in July includes supplying two high-resolution Pleiades-type Falcon Eye military observation satellites, a ground station and training for 20 engineers.
