The aim of this paper is to analyze the decision-making process of a targeted country threatened by a terrorist group. This country has the choice between improving his arms or buying technologies from the border country. However, his resource is not unlimited. So the government has to do an arbitrage among the strategies. After determining the equilibrium, we analyze the impacts of each parameter.
