In this edition of the Middle East Defense Digest, Breaking Defense Middle East Bureau Chief Agnes Helou catches you up on some of the biggest developments in the region — literally in the case of Egypt’s new and quite large military facilities. There are also takeaways for Turkey from the annual NATO summit, which was hosted this year in Ankara, and a look at why South Korean defense firm Hanwha recently teamed up with Emirati firm Generation 5 Holding.
