The UAE is adding large steel-and-mesh protective structures around fuel and oil storage facilities as regional security threats persist. Satellite imagery and open-source footage show the unusual frameworks near Dubai International Airport and sites in Abu Dhabi, with construction reportedly beginning in May and largely completed by August. Often called “cope cages,” the structures are designed to create a physical barrier around vulnerable storage tanks, potentially reducing the impact of drone or missile strikes. The move highlights growing concerns over protecting critical energy infrastructure from future attacks.
