UAE’s F-35 contracts expected to be signed before end of Trump administration

[Yasser76]

The UAE has excellent pilots they've developed through the last 20+ years. Some of the videos we saw of their F-16 Block 60 pilots dodging Houthi missiles was super impressive! Their academy is most likely fully loaded with very qualified applicants whom will be trained by the best of the best. There shouldn't be any problems with having qualified Emirate pilots for all those aircraft. The Rafale deal comes with training the pilots who will be flying those jets in France, just like they did with the EAF and Indian pilots.

UAEAF, still relies heavily on foreigners for maintenance and instructor pilots. UAE's showing in Yemen was woeful, they ended up withdrawing.

This is definitely not a curse and far from it. I wouldn't say China is pro-anyone except her own interests and the same goes to Russia but the candidates are not only these but much larger Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan, India all could fill in and get share

This is true, but non of these countries can offer (nor would they want to) protection against Iran like US can.

Saudi Arabia in all truthfulness doesn't need protection from anyone. This is only trade such as ammo stuff like that. They fill in the cap. In truth The Saudi Coalition is much stronger then Iran

My friend, this is simply not true, a fundemental pillar of Saudi defence and foreign policy is to garner support against Iran, be it from US, Israel or Pakistan. They have used every resource at their disposal to turn countries against Iran, and of course heavily pressured Pakistan. If they are so sure of protecting themselves what is the need for this?

Wikileaks cables show Saudis BEGGING US to attack Iran.

Saudi cannot protect Riyadh from drones, it's oil facilities from cruise missiles or even it's Air Force commander from getting blown up by an Iranian missile.

Do not get me wrong, I love Saudia Arabia with all my heart, in all truth. For many years their kings were leaders of Islamic world, but it is better we are awake to facts now.

These drones are only provocations and some think it's harmful but it is not. Such incidents don't harm but it only escalates to full blown war. A sneak attack can be done by anyone it is unavoidable thing.

But you have to understand from the conventional military standby Saudi Arabia has almost no threats. Who in the their right mind is gonna march into Saudi Arabia? If escalation comes full blown war happens to the end. They have aerial superiority and could rain hell on the other side.

Saudi Arabia has coaliton and that Coalition is stronger then Iran period. Egypt, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Sudan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Better arms, can mobilize more and endless wealth.

From a military conventional standby not even NATO could penetrate the Saudi coalition if they were to come from the middle head on. Alot of people think provocations are threat they only provide means to escalation and could lead to miscalculation and full frontal war but in essence they are nothing more then that.

They can field large numbers and have modern armies and could withhold a large NATO charge and make it into war of attration. I assure you they don't face such threats outside of NATO or multiplier forces that nobody can field outside of a large alliance group such as NATO or EU

My friend, you really underestimate Iran, very much. Iran has a large and very motivated army, Saudi Army is small and certainly not as battle hardened. Saudia failed terribly in Yemen and is now seeking a way out. Better not to rely on a coalition of small and undermanned and ill trained countries and reply on oneself. A major Saudi weakness is large pools of trained fighting men (hence the need in the past for Pakistani troops), Iran has this in abundance.

As mentioned, all the Patriots, F-15s and AWACs cannot seem to stop regular UAV and missile attacks, than one must ask, what is going on?

You are overrating them without logical and alot people use to do this with ignorance. I said coalition? Not one army? By the way Iran actully lost to the rebels in Syria and 100% with evidence at hand. Solemani surrendered and asked Putin to intervene. But the Hadi allies in Yemen never lost the war to the houthis or begging anyone for help.

Iran is extremely overestimated and the Saudi coalition could legit invade them 95% certainity. You also think they have motivated fighters think again?

Historically Iran is the easiest country in the world to invade. The biggest military upsets in history always happened in Iran. 5 major upsets where they outnumbered the enemy 1 to 100 at times.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree but aside from the massive overestimation done here. I think you are sleeping on a motivated coalition that stands 500M strong and armed to the teeth. All you need to do to turn them into zealots is if you accuse your opponent of trying to harm the holiest place this will put the fire on their belly. With such fanatism, numbers and arms don't see anyone stopping them

 

[Philosopher]

Sure it did, that is why the terrorists are barely anywhere to be found today ?

Solemani surrendered and asked Putin to intervene.

Iran was in Syria and held back the terrorists years before Russia decided to enter Syria. Russia entered for its own interest.

But the Hadi allies in Yemen never lost the war to the houthis or begging anyone for help.

He begged the Saudi coalition to come to his rescue, not that it helped given their incompetence.

Historically Iran is the easiest country in the world to invade. The biggest military upsets in history always happened in Iran. 5 major upsets where they outnumbered the enemy 1 to 100 at times.

Iran has been around for over 7000 years. Battles are won and lost. As for Iran being easy to invade, you're geographically illiterate, Iran is a natural fortress, especially when one considers modern battles. See below:

I meant outside help not the Saudis which he didn't do.

And Yes Solemani did ask for help from Putin.

“Soleimani put the map of Syria on the table. The Russians were very alarmed, and felt matters were in steep decline and that there were real dangers to the regime.

Khamenei also sent a senior envoy to Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin, another senior regional official said. “Putin told him ‘Okay we will intervene. Send Qassem Soleimani’. He went to explain the map of the theater.”

How Iranian general plotted out Syrian assault in Moscow

At a meeting in Moscow in July, a top Iranian general unfurled a map of Syria to explain to his Russian hosts how a series of defeats for President Bashar al-Assad could be turned into victory - with Russia's help.

His not a general or antying but a business man Trump is dumb and says anything that comes until his mind and using him as per source is nothing factual I can quote my grandmother which has better info. He doesn't realize the full aspects of everything. He is the same man who said grab her by the pussy. The other guy doesn't like Saudi and he hates them.

By the way stop spamming the forum or over quoting news articles that are way off if you have an opinion just write it down.

There is no reason for you to over spamming of far-right websites or tabloids and using them as some sort of evidence.

I am talking about a coalition here and in a realistic conventional military sense. You go into so much over the board stuff. I am talking about a potential conventional military conflict. Lets stick to that and if you have an opinion simply leave it no need to going over spamming tabloids or irrelevant stuff. Just conventional military conflict opinion thats all

That is a false story. In reality, Russians had decided to intervene for their own interest and Iran sent Soleimani to coordinate. Nothing more. The situation in Syria was more or less the same, there was no "real dangers" to the Assad government. The Russians have a long history in Syria:

Why does Russia support Syria and President Assad?

On the contrary, he had access to far more intelligence sources than someone like you ever will, so take his word seriously when he makes such statement. Add that to the comments from the senator. You think they're all wrong and your fantasy is correct?

Iran lost to the rebels say whatever you want to say this is factual on the ground and they handed over everything to Russia.

The Saudi backed proxy never lost to the Houthis this is also an undeniable fact.

Anyone can write an article and say whatver they want to their own pleasure but the reality is always on the ground and in that they never lost period.
