التعاون الاماراتي الروسي في مجال الدفاع قديم ..
الاماراتيون كانوا سببا في خروج منتجات وتطويرها كالبانتسير وايضا السوخوي 27 التي اصبحت (بسبب الاهتمام الاماراتي آنذاك ) لمتعددة مهام
How the Arabs helped ‘Su’
Simonov insists that perestroika allowed the Su-27 to become the best of the best. A lack of money in the Nineties forced the Sukhoi Company to make a desperate move – to try to sell the jet abroad. The first place they looked was the United Arab Emirates.
“At that time, their air force was headed by Colonel Khalid,” recalls Simonov. “He wasn’t a flexible man. As he looked at and flew our fighter jet, he said: ‘It’s not bad, but can it sink a destroyer?’ But these were two different things… It’s one thing to conduct air combat, and completely another to destroy underwater and ground targets.”
This could have been the end of the conversation. Intead, Simonov proposed the Arabs formulate their demands for the machine: “If you want the fighter jet to be able to hit targets at a distance of 100km – that can be done. You want it to sink destroyers – it will do.”
So, the Su-27 became a multi-function fighter – though the Arabs did not buy it. Khalid admitted that the Americans would not have allowed them to do so. It is often said that the Su-27 and Su-30 are the best, but they have not been used in a single war. So how could their superiority be proved?
“That is, of course, a secret,” smiles Simonov.
This display of equipment was not simply advertising, but a comparison with competitors – at least with the French Mirages that were part of the UAE inventory. How could they be compared? Two of their best pilots took turns flying the aircraft, the Mirage and Su. All flight information was documented and the information analysed.

وهنا لمحة عن علاقات التعاون الدفاعي الطيبة بين البلدين
Q. What is the level of bilateral military cooperation?
A. We have a very good cooperation. The UAE Armed Forces are equipped with Russian-made “BMP-3” infantry combat vehicles, Pantsir-S1 Air Defense System, other weapons. Russia had also provided the Emirati side with training devices and as per the relevant agreement will provide service maintenance and continuing training of UAE specialists with scores of Emirati officers being trained for six months in Russia on the new devices.
