Good news for both sides

A likely PARS 8x8x8 deal will be over 1 billion $. Deal will contain Technology transfer and local production as well (Maybe exporting rights (?))... Most probably, New PARS 8x8 is on the table in UAE tender...

If UAE chooses Turkish turret system as They did with MRTP-Super 16 deal, It will be our pleasure to meet their requirements...

Thanks brother. ^^

There isn't any video revealed by FNSS/Aselsan but UAE knows the great performance of Aselsan turret systems very well. In previous years, UAE ordered 100 Stamp and 50 STOP turret to deploy all Navy warships. Under a seperate agreement, UAE ordered 34 STAMP and STAMP-G turrets specially developed for UAE so I don't suppose that UAE officials have any suspicious about accuracy of Aselsan made turrets..

I assume that the UAE will be producing the vehicles under licens, any idea how much that license is worth in $ ?

Aselsan also established an industrial complex in Jordan. Maybe doing something like this in UAE can increase Pençe's luck in this tender.

Shouldn't a tracked APC or IFV be more suitable to a country with UAE's terrain ? Perhaps the CV-90 or the PUMAs ? Something that can traverse the deserts and keep up with the armoured formations ?

Additionally shouldn't omething like the Otokar Akrep (did I spell that right ?) be more suitable for a peace-keeping presence within the city limits, if that is whats on mind ?
