Indeed the whole thing is funny..since the UAE has requested the F-35 more than 8 years ago and was near approval anyway!.. but now with the Jewish lobby on its side.. (that is what it was meant by "Netanyahu" approves the sale..lol).. It is clear then.. that even if Biden wins..(near to 0 chance from knowledgeable people)..the UAE will be backed by its own lobby and friends and..by the American Jewish lobby who can influence the Congress as well..So the deal will go through anyhow it goes after the elections..lol, that's so funny, bro. The NYT is such a pro-Jewish newspaper and journalism outlet that the way they word that saying "Netanyahu gave his approval for the US to sell the F-35 to the UAE" LMAO! I know many think Israel has a lot of say in the matter but to word it in that matter as if one guy has the full authority to make or break a request like that is hilarious beyond belief. Plus this still has to get through the house of representatives which might just even block it before it even gets to the senate, strictly on party lines. And the election is less than 50 days away and if Joe Biden wins and this deal hasn't gone through, it might be the end of it right then and there. Should be interesting to see the developments as they happen until Nov.3rd.
But that Netanyahu thing was funny as hell!
Whats more funny is, the US not that long ago even declined to sell UAE more Block 60 to replace the ones that crashed.
You are mistaken on that, I think @Raider 21 actually saw new ones being built at the new Lockheed facility in Greenville S.C,
If my info is correct, as of now their fleet stands at around 110, including wartime losses replacement.
Your post was anything BUT factual. but since you claim it was, I'm sure you can provide a credible source for it.Well proof is in the pudding. I'm sure you could provide any source of new F-16s for UAE being contracted for or built in the US.
Of course, if they are willing to now sell the F-35, approving new F-16s shouldn't be a hurdle. However, my post was factual in that the US declined to provide UAE with new F-16s earlier. Maybe UAE sold out its foreign policy to appease the US and Israeli for new toys.
The links you posted from 2013 and 2014 never materialized since the Congress never approved them. Only upgrades to existing fleet have since happened to Block 61 standard. Unless you are saying it has taken 7 years for the US and they have not yet manufactured a single new F-16 for UAE?Your post was anything BUT factual. but since you claim it was, I'm sure you can provide a credible source for it.
On the new Blk60/61's, do lookup DSCA notification dated Jan24 2014.
F-16.net - The ultimate F-16, F-35 and F-22 reference
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress on Jan 23 of a possible Foreign Military Sale to the United Arab Emirates F-16 Block 61s and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $270 million.www.f-16.net

UAE Places $1.6 Billion F-16 Upgrade Order | AIN
The order covers F-16E/F Block 60 upgrades as well as spares and support.www.ainonline.com
As to the F35's, there is no indication from anywhere that they have been approved. Lastly, we will talk when they ACTUALLY land!
There is more at play here w.r.t. to their foreign policy than just new toys, but I dont expect biased, myopic kids to understand that.
Man..those Iranian traitors to Islam already opened fire on Saudi Arabia and even Mecca through their proxies.. in Yemen and Iraq.. What do you expect in return..!?
