what would the uaeaf prefer the typhoon or the rafale and why?

It should go for F-35 II, Rafale is said to have performed better than Typoon reported by India.

gcc is gold mine for arms dealers

I agree with that land based AEGIS Ashore might be best but its better to have both the arrow and Sm-3 together along with THAAD and PAC-3 thats 4 layers of defence there.... Israel has 5 layers and USA has 5 layers too!!

one missle of aegis is 10-20 milion dollar
arrow 3 is 2 milion dollar per missle

Israel and USA have best drones, Heron TP and Reaper RQ-9 these have a large payload, range and endurance...Other countries don't offer the payload and range....

and israel and usa are most realible with most experince then any chineese or turkush drones

It should go for F-35 II, Rafale is said to have performed better than Typoon reported by India.

due to israel request f 35 will not be sold to arab countires

As a principle we should avoid buying any weapons from Russia as long as Putin is around due to their stance in Syria. Or well-known and decade old crimes in occupied Caucasus. That's just me talking and I know that such opinions don't matter the slighest when it comes to geopolitics. I have nothing against Russia or Russians but I can't support Russian policies in Syria or what they have been doing in Caucasus for generations.

Anyway there are better alternatives such as the West.

What's better there is China and Ukraine.

I believe that KSA will definitely go for the Grom-2 missile system that we are rumored to help finance. This would fit well into the current policy and make sense given other military ventures (Antonov) etc.

Ukraine is also willing to do JV's and TOT.

Unless Russia, out of the sudden, is willing to offer JV's and TOT and in general increase military ties with KSA. That is very doubtful.

Rather focus on China and Ukraine first and foremost when it comes to partners and also Turkey.

GROM-2 is just a fake as AN-132 as any other Ukrainian weapon deal that is not about something that were produced in Ukraine during USSR or stockpiled in Ukraine by USSR. Failed state Ukraine will just rob you of money. This is something you gullible Saudi arabs will have to learn about Ukraine. Look up Ukrainian weapon deals with Iraq and Thailand - they already learned

This is true whether they are so advanced why they begged the West will give them to buy arms in front of Russia?
