Qatar In Talks To Purchase Russian Su-35 Fighter Aircraft: TASS
- A +
Russia and Qatar are holding talks on possible supplies of Sukhoi-35 fighter jets to the Qatari Air Force, Vladimir Kozhin, the Russian President’s aide for cooperation in defense technologies told reporters on Thursday.

"Talks are in progress," he was quoted as saying by the Russian state news agency TASS.

This is the second weapons procurement announcement after Russia’s presidential aide for military-technical cooperation, Vladimir Kozhin, singled out Qatar as an important new Russian arms export partner.

A while ago, on Jan. 25, Qatar’s Ambassador to Russia Fahad bin Mohammed Al-Attiyah told TASS that Doha was holding “advanced negotiations” with Moscow over the purchase of S-400 air missile defense systems.

Since the start of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) blockade against Qatar in June, Doha has upgraded its military capabilities to defend itself against what it perceives as aggressive actions from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

The Qatari Defense Ministry had also signed a landmark military technology sharing agreement with Moscow in October last year.

What's going on in Thani's mind

Qatar's leadership is extremely apprehensive of the UAE, which has voluntarily become a center for all the outsourced dirty jobs against the Muslim interests.

Its better for Qatar to put efforts on normalizing the relationships with KSA rather than having a sucker punch. A country just roughly three times bigger than Karachi will have no chance.

She's not alone - Turkey's full weight is behind her. By the by, Arab rulers would rather trust snake but one another....

I heard that they are recycling their Mirage pilots for the Rafales. I don't know who will fly the Mirages or whether they will be sold on.
