UAE considers the Su-35

According to Russian news agency Tass, the United Arab Emirates wants to buy “more than a squadron of Sukhoi Su-35 fighters”. However, this is not the first time that the UAE has been linked with the Sukhoi fighters and in April, Russian officials spoke of a deal involving the sale of “several dozen” of the fighters to the Emirates. The UAE Air Force and Air Defence reportedly requires around 60 new fighters and Rafale, Typhoon, Gripen or additional advanced F-16s have all been linked to potential deals with the Emirates.
