UAE SUSPENDS TALKS FOR F-35 ACQUISITION: COULD THE RAFALE AND CHECKMATE REPLACE
IT?

Daily_Defence -December 15, 2021 0 Comments


The United Arab Emirates has suspended talks for the acquisition of F-35 stealth
fighters from the United States, after plans for a $23 billion contact for 50
fighters, 18 MQ-9 Reaper drones, and various associated armaments was stalled in
the first months of the Biden administration. “The UAE has informed the U.S.
that it will suspend discussions to acquire the F-35,” an Emirati official
stated on December 14, highlighting m that "technical requirements, sovereign
operational restrictions and the cost/benefit analysis" had forced Abu Dhabi to
reconsider its procurement plans. He added, however, that the U.S. “remains the
UAE’s preferred provider for advanced defence requirements and discussions for
the F-35 may be reopened in the future.” The announcement comes less than two
weeks after the UAE unexpectedly signed a $19 billion contract to acquire 80
Rafale fighter jets from France, an older and lighter aircraft from the previous
generation which lacks the F-35’s advanced stealth capabilities. Aside from
speed and range, the F-35 is considered a superior fighter to the Rafale in all
major parameters with the American aircraft powered by the strongest fighter
engine in production worldwide and the French one the very weakest engine. 



In response to Abu Dhabi’s pulling out from the deal, U.S. State Secretary
Anthony Blinken stressed on December 15 that a sale was still possible despite
earlier indications that the Biden administration opposed such a deal. "We
remain committed to move forward with (the sales of) both (F-35 jets and drones)
if that's what the Emiratis are interested in doing. We want to make sure, for
example, that our commitment to Israel's qualitative military edge is assured so
we wanted to do a full review of any technologies that are sold or transferred
to other partners in the region, including the UAE", he stated when questioned
on the issue. "I think we continue to be prepared to move forward if the UAE
wants to pursue…both of these systems", he added. The F-35 deal has reportedly
come with multiple extensive conditions on how the aircraft can be used, and
required political concessions by Abu Dhabi many of which related to its close
economic and security ties with China - ties which Washington long opposed. 



The F-35 is the only fifth generation fighter in the world to have been
exported, and is one of just two fielded at squadron level strength and in
serial production today. The fighter currently has a limited initial operating
capability but is still far from ready for high intensity combat, with full
scale production delayed by the Pentagon for several years due to ongoing
performance issues. It is considered a lighter and cheaper counterpart to the
F-22 Raptor and upcoming F-X heavyweight twin engine aircraft. The fighter’s
performance has been very harshly criticised by American officials including
multiple defence secretaries, although supporters of the program claim it has
the potential to be a world leading fighter once it becomes operational and its
hundreds of current performance issue are resolved. The UAE Air Force today
operates two lightweight fourth generation fighters, the French Mirage 2000 and
the American F-16E. While the Rafale is now set to replace the ageing Mirage,
the F-35 is expected to eventually replace the F-16 if acquired. If not, the
Russian Checkmate stealth fighter which Abu Dhabi reportedly helped fund could
provide the UAE Air Force with its first fifth generation aircraft after 2025.
