MADE IN UAE

[Wilhelm II]

Still producing UAVs for middle eastern companies. Recently Algeria bought/licensed produced a Adcom systems UAV.

Here is a news article about the topic.


Algeria has received into service several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) originally developed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as seen in footage aired on national TV and posted to the official Facebook page of the Algerian Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The Adcom Yabhon United 40 MALE UAV has been confirmed to be in Algerian service when footage of the UAE-developed platform was shown on national TV. (Algerian TV via Algerian Ministry of Defence)

The footage posted on 20 December confirms the long-expected delivery of the Adcom Systems medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) UAVs to the North African country, with at least two armed Yabhon United 40 (named locally as ‘Algeria 54’) platforms and two smaller unarmed Yabhon Flash-20 (‘Algeria 55’) platforms shown on the flightline at Polygone Central de l’Air à Hassi Bahbah ahead of a military demonstration.

Jane’s was the first to report Algerian interest in the Block 5 version of the Yabhon United 40 armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) MALE UAV at the Dubai Airshow in 2013. At that time, the CEO and general designer for Adcom, Ali Al Dhaheri, said that the country was looking for an unmanned platform to track militants and traffickers in its vast southern desert regions. The Yabhon Flash-20 was first showcased at the same event two years later.

While the Yabhon United 40 Block 5 and Yabhon Flash-20 are two of a number of UAVs developed in the UAE by Adcom Systems, the company’s website and social media accounts appear to have become inactive from 2016 and the manufacturer did not appear at the most recent Dubai Air Show in 2017. This lack of activity chimes with a statement issued by the Algerian MoD in which it notes that the Algeria 54 and Algeria 55 UAVs have been domestically manufactured, suggesting that it has bought the rights from Adcom. “It should be noted that these drones were built locally by engineers, technicians, and executives of the National People’s Army,” the MoD said.

First revealed in scale-model form in 2007, the Yabhon United 40 Block 5 UAV features Adcom’s distinctive double fore and aft main-wing configuration.

@Wilhelm II I just found out a UAE company called Strata makes horizontal and vertical stabilizers for the Airbus and Boeing airplanes.

Strata has quickly grown its work package line and signed contracts that exceed $5b, including new orders for highly complex parts, such as horizontal stabilizers for the Airbus A320 and vertical fins for the Boeing B787 Dreamliner aircraft In 2017, Strata increased its delivery of aero-structures to a record 642 shipsets comprising more than 9,774 parts totaling sales of AED 500 million, compared to 521 shipsets comprising 9,103 parts in 2016. Strata’s 2017 deliveries included the first shipset of its latest A350-900 Inboard Flaps Program to global partner, Airbus.

Strata is from my home town!

They will also be making B-250 Bader composites. The Houthis will hear the sound of propellers and their lives shall end.

Those guided bombs are UAE also UAE made. To say the least this is a bad *** machine.


IMHO the UAE should get other South African weapons like Mokopa and Ingwe that are free from Western sanctions and are not on the ITAR list.

For the moment we are flying this:

So B250 will definitely be better, since a lot of the AT802's weaknesses have been addressed.

Wow I didn't know about that before. When UAE do that without empty noisy Claims it means they are in true way

One of the potential partners of the Vilkha project is the Tawazun Group from the United Arab Emirates. The negotiations with the company representatives on the co-production of MLRS are ongoing.

@The SC do you know any new about UAE Russian project to make a light fifth generation fighter?

It it will still take another 7 years before seeing this light weight stealth fighter plane.. all we know is that it will be based on the Mig 35 design.. with Sukhoi and UAE components..

It should be a potent stealth aircraft anyway.. not to confuse with the US F-35 that is a medium weight stealth fighter.. two different categories..

Khalifa Sat is two meters long and weighs 330 kilograms. It is distinguished from the rest of the global satellites in that it maintains the same capabilities in the images captured by other satellites that are larger, more expensive, and more complex in design. It is also equipped with a very advanced imaging system that works as a magnifier. High resolution enables it to reach a resolution of up to 70 cm from a distance of 600 km above the Earth's surface

The "Khalifa Sat" satellite, launched by the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center last October, captured a clear, high-resolution "0.7 meters" satellite image of the Holy Mosque in Makkah, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia..
