I love and hate the way they tease us like this! I'm sure you've noticed the way they do these unique "#FUTUREPOSSIBLE" sneak previews by taking and showing these partial photos, just enough to hook us into guessing what it is and getting us oohing and awwwing lol. Unbelievable and very unique way of showing the public what's in store and what they're working on etc. Take a pic and show just the forward section of the fuselage with barely the front landing gear and the shape of most recent UAV noses. Then just like fish lured to a shrimp on a hook, we bite!
You gotta love their methods.
They did the same thing with this "FUTUREPOSSIBLE" cruise missile, didn't they?
Even though it looked like it was part of the display at one of the shows, the pics we were privy to were just those ones you posted from what I recall. The same exact thing, a partial tease pic just enough to get us oohing and awwing lol. Great advertising technique without a doubt.
Besides, hasn't the UAE already developed a fully working UAV/UCAV in the Yabhon United 40? I suppose we're talking about two different production entities anyway. Halcon is a separate company from the domestic United Emirates local military production so the two really aren't influenced by one another.
Should be a very fun Dubai show coming up very soon. A lot of very cool new stuff from HALCON to look forward to. I also heard that Dassault has approached the UAE again to pick up the Rafale possibility where they left off. Any truth to that you or
@The SC might be aware of? I read that the one of the reasons the original talks fizzled was because the UAE was asking for A LOT of very specific and high-end options (as they usually do) and Dassault wasn't prepared to meet those at the time. Now they might be or might try to talk the UAE into lesser options than they originally wanted. That would be interesting to see if there is any truth to that. Thanks for the tags, BTW. I really enjoy getting them and seeing what you've discovered!
