The United Arab Emirates (UAE) leadership has been quietly discussing the prospect of acquiring the F-35 fighter-jet from the United States. The JSF was raised by UAE officials and military officers in several fora in 2012. Existing orders could keep Abu Dhabi from acquiring JSF
until at least 2020. In November 2011 Lockheed Martin gave the UAE a first taste of the F-35 marketing blitz as state officials start planning for acquiring a next generation fighter in several years. The F-35 has not been cleared for export in the Middle East beyond Turkey and Israel. The lack of export approval restrains contractors from providing details about the programme with customers. As of 2012 the UAE Air Force (UAEAF) was said to be giving priority to buy the F-16V fighter jet at the expense of the Rafale and Eurofighter, and in 2013 the F-16 was selected.

“By 2015, imports are forecast to total $3.13bn, up from a 2009 total of $1.4bn,” he said. “Looking towards 2023 in terms of programmes awarded,
the UAE is interested in the F-35 [multi-role fighter jet].”
Deliveries would not start until 2020.

On 12 November,
the UAE air force announced plans to acquire a "next generation fighter" in the 2018-2025 timeframe.
The Lockheed Martin F-35 joint strike fighter (JSF) has been previously named by the UAE as a potential acquisition target. But briefing requests may indicate that the F/A-18E/F and the F-15 Silent Eagle are also in the discussion, Kohler said. With the exception of all-aspect very low observability, or stealth, the F-15SE and F/A-18E/F international roadmap variant share many of the same sensor, avionics and weapons capabilities with the F-35.
"I think [UAE officials] would be interested, depending on exactly what they want," Kohler said.
