Middle-east environments are likely to be well within the operating requirements for any military-hardened versions.

Military shit breaks constantly. The army and navy are choke full of technicians working round the clock to maintain and repair all the high end machines we have doing our dirty work.

That some of these abominations of engineering work at all is a minor miracle. Military contractors are notorious for turning out hardware that falls apart on delivery, weighs too much to operate, and sucks up fuel like a sponge.
