Chinese media: If the US is not ready to supply F-35 fighters to the UAE, China could agree on the supply of J-20​

February 28 2021

The military-thematic section of the Chinese portal Sina indicates problems with the supply of fifth-generation F-35 fighters to the UAE. Chinese authors point out that these problems were confirmed during the arms exhibition held in Abu Dhabi, where they never signed the previously announced contract for the acquisition of American fighters for the United Arab Emirates Air Force.

It was noted that the United States "probably takes into account the concerns of Israel, which does not want its Arab neighbors in the region to have the latest military equipment." It is also noted that "China could take advantage of the situation to its advantage."

From material in Sina Military:

If anyone suspected that after the Biden administration suspended large-scale sales weapons in the UAE, relations between the United States and the United Arab Emirates turned into a difficult format, then the actual absence of the United States at the defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi undoubtedly proves this speculation. If the United States is not ready to supply F-35 fighters to the UAE, then China could agree on the supply of its J-20s.

The Chinese press notes that from the United States in Abu Dhabi there were “only the commander fleet Central Command and Deputy Commander of the Air Force ". But, allegedly, no meaningful negotiations were held on the supply of the F-35.

sina:

The United States sent a signal to the Gulf countries that they cannot be considered permanent allies. They themselves revise deals, canceling their own decisions without much explanation. The Middle East will clearly take this signal into account and understand that there are more reliable partners in the world.

Recall that earlier negotiations on the supply of F-35 fighters to the UAE were conducted by the Trump administration, including in the format of the "big Middle East deal."

The company "Technical Overhaul Bratunac", the manufacturer of modern combat vehicles equipped with "vihor", which was produced in Bratunac in #Bosnia and Herzegovina, confirmed that it will be delivered to the #United Arab Emirates at the end of April.

Slaven Ristic, majority owner of Technical Overhaul Bratunac, said that two "Vihor" combat vehicles will be delivered to the UAE on April 29 and 30, and that planes from this Arab country will come to #Banjaluka Airport to receive them.

These combat vehicles were demonstrated in September last year at the Belgrade exhibition of arms and military equipment “Shrek 2023” and were subsequently introduced to the international market.

50 vehicles of this type of combat vehicle are manufactured annually, and the value of the vehicle called “The Whirlwind” is more than 500,000 euros.




The UAE purchased combat vehicles from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Technical Remont Bratunac (TRB) will deliver the first two modern Vihor combat vehicles to the #UAE at the end of January as the first stage of the purchase of dozens of vehicles.

The combat vehicle "Vehor" is considered easy for tactical vehicles, the market price of which, depending on the equipment, is about 500 thousand euros.

These vehicles have been in the testing phase for about a year at the Special Anti-Terrorism Unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, where they have passed all tests.

"Little Sparta", is a nickname that was given by former United States Marine Corps General and Secretary of Defense James Mattis, due to their active and effective military role and power projection in the surrounding region compared to their relative size.

That's how you deal with the US. You tell it to shove it up it's ass if it keeps up with this bitch ass pandering of that criminal loser state's QME. It wants to do that? Fine, go play with them and enjoy being milked dry by them and we'll just look at your largest economic challenger.

As a matter of fact, this should've been what the UAE did from the start. I know they went looking at Russia first with the Su-75 and that might still happen. But Russia is just too lagging and has its own problems. But China? The UAE should've went to them first for the J-20 and then watch the US come crawling on its knees begging for the UAE's consideration. Mal3oun abuhom w'lad el zeft! lol

The United Arab Emirates is in talks with China to purchase advanced J-20 fighters

2024-06-01

The United Arab Emirates is in talks with China about the possibility of purchasing advanced fifth-generation J-20 aircraft, as revealed by the American “National Interest” magazine.

According to the magazine, Abu Dhabi is seeking to accelerate the process of purchasing Chinese fighters, although Beijing imposes strict restrictions on their export to maintain the secrecy of its advanced technologies.

These talks come on the heels of the United States agreeing in 2021 to sell 50 F-35 fighter jets and 18 MQ-4B drones to the United Arab Emirates in a deal worth $19 billion.

However, the US deal was not implemented due to Washington's concerns about strengthening UAE-Chinese relations, especially in the field of 5G technology.

The J-20 is an advanced fifth-generation fighter aircraft characterized by exceptional stealth capabilities. Its development began in the mid-2000s, conducted its first flight in 2011, and entered service with the Chinese Air Force in 2017.

Its avionics are widely considered to be on par with those of the F-35.

The J-20's primary armament, consisting of PL-10 and PL-15 missiles, outperforms its American and Russian counterparts.

Unlike the single engine in the F-35, which has very limited flight performance, less than half the range of the J-20, and no super-cruise capability, the Chinese fighter’s twin engine can accommodate many missiles and has significantly superior flight performance. Overwhelming, high levels of maneuverability.

These talks are an important step in the UAE's efforts to modernize and develop its air capabilities, and reports indicate that Abu Dhabi is interested in purchasing a large number of Chinese aircraft.
