MADE IN UAE

Saber warhead increased to 450 kg and has terminal infrared seeker and can fly at 5 meter altitude
Comparable to JASSM and will be a useful asset for CENTCOM and GCC if needed to take down enemy targets


Nasef will gain an infrared seeker for terminal engagment

The grey missiles under the wings in pairs of 3 are the SmartGlider

I think that making the Jeniah able to be carrier launched would give the GCC nations a true offensive capability regardless of distance. That would require other GCC nations acquire larger vessels with A2/AD to escort the carrier though and defend from enemy missiles.

Im not sure how much a helicopter carrier/small aircraft carrier could carry but I’d say even 16 is a great amount.


The concept is being explored with the MQ-28 drone and is feasable.

Not sure about for the Meteor or MICA but the SmartGlider will be produced in UAE.

There is a possibility of production of the Meteor or MICA though but I’m not sure about the details.

Seems RW-24 and Shadow loitering munitions entered service or are very close to entering service.

@Corruptistan increasing non-oil/gas exports and increasing manufacturing will make GCC nations stronger economically

For 10 million UAE can acquire 10 Reach-S drones, UAE could build one of the largest fleets of combat drones in the world.

They could destroy other countries combat capabilities just through sheer numbers if they put 500+ million into procurement which is not a huge amount while also supporting the local industry.

Once the Jeniah is being produced I hope the UAEAF acquires hundreds at the minimum

But why UAE don't produce and use the Yabhon United 40. They can upgrade them so they can be a masterpiece. So they can have loads of indigenous equipments without relying on foreign countries (China with CH-series and WingLong series, USA with MQ-9).

Yabhon is not being produced anymore unfortunately but you’re right that UAE should produce it’s drones in country. I think that EDGE will produce much larger drones in the future and that has been hinted at already.

The prototype platform is actually on show at the Edge stand, after making its first flight just two weeks ago, coming more than two years after it was unveiled at Dubai Airshow in November 2021.

“There are now aspirations to develop a larger medium-size Reach UAV, imaginatively called Reach-M, that will undoubtedly boast a longer range and the ability to carry more weapons.”

At IDEX 2023, PAL Aerospace unveiled the P-6 multi-role maritime patrol aircraft, based on the Canadian Bombardier Global 6500 business jet. With growing interest in balancing maritime domain surveillance and anti-submarine warfare against the proliferation of underwater combat platforms, countries in the Middle East are eyeing to new airfields as the aging Boeing P-8A Poseidon nears the end of its production cycle.

The new project in which PAL AEROSPACE UAE + Thales + Elettronica mainly cooperates with several local and international companies.

1- The project is based on the Global 6500 and offers an opportunity to completely convert and equip the aircraft in the UAE at PAL Aerospace UAE facilities.

2- The aircraft will carry four to six weapon points to carry MU-90 torpedoes, in addition to a wide range of precision guidance weapons such as Sea Venom + EDGE Thunder P31 + Smart Glider and many more.

3- The additional and new thing is the presence of what is known as underbelly flexible, which is the extension below the fuselage of the aircraft, which can change what is carried inside it using the plug and play method..This extension will be able to carry four additional torpedoes. A revolutionary marine AESA radar from Thales may be the successor to the Thales Searchmaster radar, which is basically a wonderful radar of the type AESA GaAn. The new radar will have very modern and impressive applications in terms of range, detection, weight and power needed. to turn it on

4- Thales and PAL Aerospace UAE will work on the new management and control system based on Next-Generation AMASCOS

5- It will also carry a long-range electro-optical system, which is likely to be an MS-110 system capable of capturing high-resolution images of vast areas of two hundred kilometers, in addition to espionage systems and signal and digital tracking.

6- The aircraft will be heavily protected by distributing radar and laser detection and missile warning systems, and will be linked to two Directional Infrared Countermeasures systems to destroy missiles.

Shadow drone will have 9 canisters to enable launch of 9 drones. This means it can be launched in swarms like the Shahed-136.

Ground control station can control Reach-S, Jeniah, Shadow-25 and Shadow-50
