The military-thematic section of the Chinese portal Sina indicates problems with the supply of fifth-generation F-35 fighters to the UAE. Chinese authors point out that these problems were confirmed during the arms exhibition held in Abu Dhabi, where they never signed the previously announced contract for the acquisition of American fighters for the United Arab Emirates Air Force.
It was noted that the United States "probably takes into account the concerns of Israel, which does not want its Arab neighbors in the region to have the latest military equipment." It is also noted that "China could take advantage of the situation to its advantage."
From material in Sina Military:
If anyone suspected that after the Biden administration suspended large-scale sales weapons in the UAE, relations between the United States and the United Arab Emirates turned into a difficult format, then the actual absence of the United States at the defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi undoubtedly proves this speculation. If the United States is not ready to supply F-35 fighters to the UAE, then China could agree on the supply of its J-20s.
The Chinese press notes that from the United States in Abu Dhabi there were “only the commander Central Command and Deputy Commander of the Air Force ". But, allegedly, no meaningful negotiations were held on the supply of the F-35.
Sina:
The United States sent a signal to the Gulf countries that they cannot be considered permanent allies. They themselves revise deals, canceling their own decisions without much explanation. The Middle East will clearly take this signal into account and understand that there are more reliable partners in the world.
Recall that earlier negotiations on the supply of F-35 fighters to the UAE were conducted by the Trump administration, including in the format of the "big Middle East deal."
