Soon .. Sale of Russian "Su-35" fighter jets to the UAE

[The SC]

Vladimir Kugin, assistant to the Russian president for military technical cooperation, expressed his hope to conclude a deal to sell Su-35 fighter jets to the UAE before the end of this year.

Kugin said in a press statement on Friday that the UAE side is resolving its position regarding the number of aircraft and its specifications.

Koujin confirmed the Russian Federation's military-technical cooperation announcement last month on the likely date for the signing of a contract to sell the Emirates the Su-35 fighter jets.

The Su-35 is a 4th generation multi-frole fighter, a modified version of Su-27 fighter jets designed by Sukhoi and manufactured by the Erkutsk aircraft manufacturer. The Russian Air Force got the first batch of them in 2014..

Zero % chance they wants to replace Mirage 2000 with French made Rafael. For fifth Gen they defiantly go for F-35.

The UAE is commited to the SU-35, now it is just a matter of technicalities; number of aircrafts and specs, the deal will likely be signed in November this year during the Dubai air show..
The Rafale negotiations are still going on after more than 8 years, but nothing will come out of it, unless France accepts to make the changes the UAE asks for, but that is quite difficult..it might happen in the future and the UAE will then procure some.. but for now there is the SU-35 and also the F-35 (about 18 of them as far as rumours go).. that is all what the US might be willing to sell them..This is why they turned to Russia, not only for the Su-35 but also for a light 5th generation fighter project based on the Mig-29..With Sukhoi getting involved in it too..

Yes off course why not.

Because it's a stupid idea.

Who knows? It was unthinkable that Turkey will buy S-400 2-3 years ago. May be this is also come true.

At least its not as bad as the Qataris, who just want to have transactions with everyone.
Hell on earth for their logistics planners.

Hanger queens don't have logistic issues. Have a look at the minuscule Qatari airspace.

UAE Interested In Purchasing Su-35 Fighter Jets, Contract Likely By Year End: TASS

The United Arab Emirates have shown interest in purchasing Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets and will likely sign the contract with Russia for atleast dozen jets by this year end, a Russian news agency reports.

"They want a lot, over a squadron but the exact number will be specified in the course of negotiations that may be held in November during an air show in Dubai," a source in the system of military and technical cooperation told TASS on Tuesday.

The source noted that the contract may be signed by December 2017, if the negotiations work well.

A squadron is a tactical Air Force unit, which consists of formations and wings and also comprises aircraft maintenance personnel. A fighter aviation squadron in the Russian Air Force normally comprises 12 aircraft but their exact number depends on the type of an aviation regiment.

The Su-35 is a Russian-made multipurpose generation 4++ super-maneuverable fighter jet equipped with a phased array radar and steerable thrusters. It can develop a speed of up to 2,500 kilometers per hour and has a flying range of 3,400 kilometers and a combat radius close to 1,600 kilometers. The fighter jet is armed with a 30mm gun and has 12 hardpoints for carrying bombs and missiles.
