… aviationweek.com … Dubai Airshow Becomes Stage For Russia-U.S. Competition …A global competition for influence played out among the exhibit stands and static displays thronging the Dubai Airshow, with U.S. and Russian officials openly vying to strengthen ties with the United Arab Emirates’ powerful military.
Russian officials, led by Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov and United Aircraft Corp. General Director Yury Slyusar, sought to build on a 2018 strategic partnership agreement with the UAE government, flogging offers for prime development and production roles in the new Sukhoi Checkmate fighter concept and the MS-21-300 airliner while securing a letter of intent from the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) defense and security acquisitions authority for 100 Russian-origin, light single VRT-500 helicopters.
Meanwhile, a 300-strong U.S. government delegation led by Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Q. Brown, Jr., and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Mira Resnick came on a reassurance mission, seeking to prevent gains by competitors despite ongoing talks over critical security details of implementing an agreement to sell 50 Lockheed Martin F-35As to the UAE.
“Our presence and our relationships with Middle East partners help prevent efforts by Russia and China to extend their influence into the region,” Resnick told journalists in Dubai on the sidelines of the air show.

Three sources from industry and government say the message was delivered Wednesday as the other two companies competing for the $19 billion contract — U.S. defence giant Lockheed Martin and Swedish firm Saab — were told they met the government's requirements.
The three sources were all granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss these matters publicly.

The Finnish newspaper Iltalehti reported yesterday that “several foreign and security policy sources” had confirmed the Finnish Defense Forces’ recommendation of the F-35 as Finland’s next fighter.

Re: Il mercato mondiale dei velivoli militari
Il Rafale quando è stato immesso sul mercato era un prodotto - come piattaforma - troppo immaturo, poteva solo utilizzare missili aria-aria e a corta gittata per giunta. Man mano che maturava passava il tempo, ma troppe nazioni non potevano aspettare e hanno scelto piattaforme più sperimentate e "cresciute" nel tempo.
Quando è diventata una macchina davvero completa e versatile come ambiva la Dassault, lo spazio di mercato si era ormai ristretto troppo, "troppi posti erano già occupati" proprio come successe al Tristar che era mooolto meglio progettato del DC10 ed aveva meno difetti.
E poi era ormai diventato un bellissimo prodotto di una generazione che iniziava ad avere la prospettiva troppo da vicino di essere nel tempo rimpiazzata da un'altra.
Non credo che come volabilità sia poi peggio del Typhoon, anzi, in certi scenari di manovra potrebbe essere anche un poco migliore.
'Sto Lightning toccherà per forza trovare il modo di farlo funzionare come si deve.

Under the deal—announced by Saab on January 12—the aircraft will receive enhancements to sensors and communications, as well as expanded weapons options.
Improvements to the PS-05/A Mk 4 radar increase the sensor’s air-to-air target tracking range, as well as other performance improvements.
They include better clutter suppression and enhanced detection capability against small aerial targets.
The radar also offers growth potential for additional air-to-air and air-to-ground modes.

The impetus for the shift came in 2015, with the appointment of a new Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Abu Esrar, who wanted to phase out the Bangladesh Air Force fleet of Russian and Chinese fighters and replace them with Western aircraft.
Esrar evaluated the Eurofighter Typhoon at the 2016 Farnborough International Airshow and he reportedly “fell in love with it.”

The Chinese-made J-10CE is intended to begin the replacement of the PAF’s Dassault Mirage III/5 fleet, the induction event occurring almost 54 years to the day since the first of the French delta-wing fighters arrived In Pakistan.
Having forged close links with China at both military and industrial levels, Pakistan was the natural choice to become the first export customer for the J-10, and signed an order for at least 25 of the type on June 25, 2021.
The number is expected to rise to at least 36.
Aircraft wearing PAF markings were noted undergoing flight tests at the factory airfield in Chengdu during February, and the first batch of six - all single-seaters - was ferried to Pakistan on March 4.
Pakistan has stated an aim to have 25 in service by March 23 to take part in the national day flypast.

Tale acquisto sarebbe in qualche modo collegato al programma TF-X teso a sviluppare e costruire un caccia avanzato da parte dell’industria nazionale turca con apporto tecnologico straniero.
Nel caso di specie interessata al programma TF-X è Rolls Royce che ha ricevuto a suo tempo dal Governo Turco un contratto per fornire tecnologie e supporto nello sviluppo del motore.
Come è noto, a causa degli attriti con gli Stati Uniti sia per la questione siriana sia per l’acquisto dei sistemi missilistici russi di difesa d’area S-400, la Turchia è stata estromessa dal programma F-35 a cui partecipava a livello industriale e militare.
Gli Stati Uniti, peraltro, oltre il blocco del programma F-35, hanno anche fin qui negato la possibilità per Ankara di ottenere caccia bombardieri F-16V Block 70/72, la versione più moderna del Fightning Falcon, ostacolando persino il programma di ammodernamento degli F-16 già in dotazione.

Officials conducted the cost and affordability review to ascertain if factors outside the armed forces’ control, including pandemic-led government spending constraints and pressures on the military’s finances amid tensions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, might require supplementary measures outside of the defense budget to help fund the acquisition.
More recently, doubts about the FDF’s ability to work within its current budget were raised after the government decided to export defensive weapons and other military materials to Ukraine.

“This procurement has been an open, transparent, competitive and rigorous process, for a simple reason,” Anand said.
“We need the right aircraft at the right price. This has been a hard-fought competition, and we thank all bidders for their participation.”

La realta', chiaramente emersa dalle minuziose valutazioni congiunte elveto-finlandesi, e' che l'F-35 e' non solo superiore "tecnologicamente" ma anche molto piu' conveniente in termini finanziari. 88 apparecchi sembrano molti ma, ricordiamoci, il Canada' e' il piu' vasto Paese al mondo.
