U.A.E. to Build Russian Warplane as Mideast Tensions Rise

uae made friends with india... will pakistan also be able to be friends with india?

Not until they give Kashmir freedom , not until they stop using terrorist against Pakistan ..

Russia Sells Lethal Fighter Jets to the United Arab Emirates
The two countries also plan to work together on a new warplane
by DAVE MAJUMDAR

The United Arab Emirates has agreed to purchase a batch of advanced Sukhoi Su-35 Flanker-E fighters from Russia. As of 2017, the Flanker-E is the most capable operational Russian combat aircraft.

The jets would be a major addition to the UAE’s already formidable fleet of American-made Lockheed Martin F-16E/F Block 60 Fighting Falcons. But troubling for the United States, the deal is an indication that the UAE — a long-time U.S. ally — is drifting into Moscow’s orbit.

“We signed an agreement of intent for the purchase of the Su-35,” Rostec chief Sergei Chemezov told the Moscow-based TASS news agency earlier in February 2017.

Chemezov did not offer any details about how many Su-35s the UAE has ordered or when Sukhoi would begin delivering the aircraft. The two countries also recently signed an agreement to co-develop a new fifth-generation fighter.

The Su-35 is a lethal fighter in its own right. As an air-superiority fighter, its major advantages are a combination of high altitude capability and blistering speed, which allows the fighter to impart the maximum possible amount of launch energy to its arsenal of long-range air-to-air missiles.

The aircraft would be launching its weapons from high supersonic speeds around Mach 1.5 at altitudes greater than 45,000 feet. This means the missiles could reach with their targets faster, giving opponents less time to maneuver or respond in kind.

On top of that, the Flanker-E builds on an existing, potent airframe, which in many respects already exceeded the aerodynamic performance of similarly sized aircraft, such as the Boeing F-15 Eagle. The Su-35 adds a lighter structure, three-dimensional thrust vectoring, advanced avionics and a powerful jamming capability to a proven design.

“Large powerful engines, the ability to supercruise for a long time and very good avionics make this a tough platform on paper,” one highly experienced F-22 stealth fighter pilot told me some time ago. “It’s considered a fourth gen plus-plus, as in it has more inherent capability on the aircraft.”

“It possesses a passive [electronically-scanned array and it] has a big off boresight capability and a very good jamming suite.”
In addition to its fast-scanning radar, ability to shoot missiles in a multitude of directions and defensive countermeasures, the Flanker-E carries a long-range infrared search and track capability that could pose a problem for Western fighters. “It also has non-EM [electro-magnetic] sensors to help it detect other aircraft, which could be useful in long-range detection,” a Super Hornet pilot told me.

Overall, the Su-35 is an extremely formidable machine — and the Russians are starting to have success with selling it abroad. The Chinese have already bought 24 examples, while Indonesia and Brazil are apparently interested in purchasing some number of aircraft, too.

The UAE’s purchase could point to more Middle East sales in the future. And a locally-developed — at least in part — stealthy fifth-generation jet could present a more practical alternative to Western offerings like F-35.

How many different types of jets do UAE need?

Su-35, F-16 and Raffale

( From: “We signed an agreement of intent for the purchase of the Su-35”
To: how many Su-35s the UAE has ordered or when Sukhoi would begin delivering the aircraft)
It might take years of negotiations..
It took 8 years for Rafale.. and still going!

F-16 AND Rafale are going obsolete they are nothing if you going to hang with the big boys... you need better planes.

Small UAE doesn't really need SU-35, they just have too much money.

 

[Ajit6333]

Come on Russia , you gotta sell them to Pakistan

They may but your defence budet will not allow

Here is some Stealth Mig design:

In any case, it will be based on the Mig-29

Just a glorified Mig21... heck the CGI of JF stealthified looks more promising.

Anyway, let us see how this pans out... too early to tell.

UAE/GCC is too entrenched in the West to make such strategic shift so abruptly... the GCC governments detest any sudden changes/same like all govs I guess.

Did you know we, the Dutch, designed P6701 for UAE..the boat looks like coming out of SiFi!!!!

Yes, I did know the UAEs Critical Infrastructure and Coastal Protection Agency' UAES ARIALAH is a Damen designed, Sea-Axe based offshore patrol ship. It was built at Galati in Romania, fitted out by Abu Dhabi Ship Building and has systems supplied and integration by Thales Group (including Thales Smart-S mk2) . It's also the only ship I know with a 'light' 11-round RAM launcher ...

@Penguin @Sinopakfriend Very good job! Thank You.

I was very surprised to learn, that these ships have been designed, to operate in any sea state in the Indian Ocean, so are more than capable to tackle challenges in the Arabian Sea, and Arabian Gulf.

Best Regards

Based on DAMEN’s high-speed SEA AXE patrol and offshore supply vessels, the Yacht Support range has been developed for demanding superyacht owners who take these purpose-built vessels all over the world carrying more toys, tenders, personnel, provisions, specialist gear and of course helicopters. Particularly for destinations with less developed infrastructure, this innovative solution opens up new possibilities for luxury yachting experiences and has justifiably generated great interest.
The Yacht Support concept is a cooperation between DAMEN, one of the world’s largest shipbuilding companies, and AMELS, the luxury yacht builder within DAMEN. AMELS has an intimate understanding of how superyacht clients can benefit from Yacht Support solutions, while naval architecture, research and development, engineering and the build are the responsibility of DAMEN’s dedicated Yacht Support team.

The SU-35 Flanker-E, is a very capable aircraft that only an F-22 or F-35 will be able to match up with it one on one. This is because the Flanker-E’s Irbis-E radar has a fantastic 454 km detection range for a 5 m^2 RCS target, and also has a much lower RCS itself compared to the SU-30MKK version, so yh definitely UAE should go for it!!

Don't say that in front of Indian and they will start new thread Su30mki vrs UFO and definitely MKI will win the race. Currently SU30 vrs Su35, they started that SU35 is inferior to SU30 MKI because the technology SU30 MKI is based on star trek NG and even US don't have that technology

Interesting pivot by the UAE towards Russia. Might be reading into it too much but could also be an indication that Russia is losing its grip on India and therefore moving towards alternate markets, or rather India is going for other alternatives.

Good going UAE and as i always says West will never support you on this progress and example in F16 block 60 and they didn't give even a screw making tech to UAE and benefit all goes to US only. Russia always have history to help others and it is good move by UAE and may be UAE start her own fighter project for Gen 6 like Germany did and in next 30 years we see our brother flying her own baby
