Arms purchasing
Arms purchases on the Arab side of the Persian Gulf used to follow a predictable pattern: for governments of countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, they seemed as much about acquiring trophies as about strengthening national security.

Of course, it would be difficult to handle the translation in bits and pieces, as the whole context would hardly make sense if translated literally. The word تحقة is meant to mean "showpiece", which is a synoyim for trophies/ Look it up in Sakhr below. The Word dictionary also defines it as such. Sometimes it si more sensible ot convey the right meaning rather than the right word-for-word translation.
