Qatar signs $8-bn deal to buy 24 Typhoon fighters from UK

[AmirPatriot]

I guess Britain's relation with Qatar will only deepen even more this coming decade.

That's the only reason they're buying Typhoons IMHO.

Joke of the year , Qatar bribes the big guys with big arms deal , they don't even got enough pilots for the 36 rafale they signed

 

[Skywalker]

Pilots will not be a problem for those incoming fighters in the coming years...
With the incoming inside/outside academies..they will have 10-15 pilots per year...

That's the only reason they're buying Typhoons IMHO.

Yes and No..; Qatar move to buy Typhoons is also because of "time" Qatar need those jets as fast as possible and Rafale manufacturing line is slow...
and ofc political package that come with it...

To be honest, that sounds like sour grapes. If Pakistan had the money and resources like Qatar then they too will be buying the best/modern fighter jets Western powers have to offer. lol They don't simply because they don't have the means to do so.

May be they are shiny...but armies of countries like Pakistan and Egypt....can maintain the function of their weapons during wars better than this diplomatic influence deals.

Pakistan Army YES, Egyptian Army not anymore.

Pakistan Army YES, Egyptian Army not anymore.

You can read more....so you can express your opinion to be much closer to FACTS.

You can start with F-16 spare parts that Egypt supplied Pakistan with ... after US sanctions that follows First **** Nuclear bomb in order to maintain it’s F-16 fleet.

Or other F-16 spare parts produced in Egypt through reverse engineering acc. To Wikileaks.
Or Abrams M1 tanks and spare parts that domestically produced in Egypt

Then come back to tell you more..

Maintaining function of weapons during wars and supplying/building spare parts in peacetime are two different aspects. That also depends decisively on a war with US ally, Israel, if there would be a war between Egypt and Israel.

 

[Incog_nito]

Qatar is making it's Air Force the worlds top no.1.
F-15s
Rafael
Mirage-2000 (already there)
Typhoons
What else? And how many are there coming?

You are 100% true.
But as you know ..... armies work during peace time for the time of war.....and those (known) trials may be the iceberg.

 

[masud]

How about buying some 24 su-35/su-30..............

And S-400.......................

We are past buying jets buddy, we make our own. With jf 17 block 3 in the pipeline with aesa, irst, hmd etc, production to start in late 2018 and our own 5th gen stealth fighter programe Azam well on its way, we dont need to look elsewhere, we are light years ahead of these stuffed with money arab states. We are past foriegn reliance...anyways happy hunting for british defence industry.

 

[Trango Towers]

Every other day a news item about Qatar buying jets from different countries. How many jets they need? Do they even have that many pilots?

Guess where they will to hire pilots from

Thunder is going to Qatar you will hear it soon.

Are you sure?
