In February 2011, state-owned RUAG advertised ‘the world’s best hand grenades’ at the IDEX arms fair in Abu Dhabi, according to Blick. As uprisings spread across the Arab world, 38 Swiss companies presented their products in the authoritarian United Arab Emirates. Osec, the export promotion organisation funded by the Swiss Confederation, subsidised the ‘Swiss Pavilion’. Green Party president Ueli Leuenberger criticised the participation and announced parliamentary interventions. The slogan had already appeared in a 2003 Blick report on HG85 deliveries to Britain in the context of the Iraq War. In 2012, 20 Minuten identified the United Arab Emirates and Qatar as customers for Swiss HG85/OHG92 hand grenades and reported that grenades had reached Syrian rebels from the Emirates via Jordan; a subsequent route through Turkey was described as probable. These deliveries and finds are recorded in cases Q154 and Q180. The IDEX report does not specify a hand-grenade model or establish that a new sale was concluded. MAPAM refers to mortar ammunition and is distinct from HG85 hand grenades; the supplied articles do not establish a MAPAM delivery to Gulf states.
