Within two days, France signed with the UAE contracts for the supply of drugs with a total value of about 1 billion euros

A day after signing a contract for the supply of two French reconnaissance satellites worth about 750 million euros, the UAE Armed Forces signed with the Thales company a contract for the supply of 17 medium-range radar Ground Master-200.

According to the newspaper La Tribune, the cost of the radar supply contract is estimated at 250 million euros. Thus, within two days, France signed with the United Arab Emirates contracts for the supply of drug products with a total value of about 1 billion euros. This testifies to the restoration of full-scale bilateral relations in the sphere of military-technical cooperation, which were complicated by the pressure of France on the leadership of the Arab state in order to promote the Rafale fighters to the UAE market.

UAE announced a tender for the supply of radar in 2009 year. In addition to Thales, the Swedish company Saab, Italian Selex, and ЕАДС participated in the tender.

In the 2011 year, Saab and Selex were excluded from the number of applicants, and in the spring of 2012, the ЕАДС.

Despite the preliminary choice in favor of Thales, Saab turned to the United Arab Emirates with a new competitive offer to jointly produce the Swedish air defense radar at the facilities of the UAE company Tawazun.

As a result of this, in the summer of 2012, negotiations with Thales were frozen, and discussion began with Saab and Tavazun. However, during the negotiations, it turned out that the Swedish proposal was quite risky, and the cost of the project was three times higher than the offer of the French company.

In February of this year, negotiations with Thales resumed within the framework of the IDEX-2013 exhibition and eventually led to the conclusion of a contract.

"Ground Master 200" is a mobile multifunctional three-dimensional S-band radar. It detects air targets, including fighter jets, helicopters, UAVs, guided and cruise missiles, at a distance of up to 250 km and an altitude of up to 24 km and performs guidance at a distance of up to 100 km.

Radar can be used as part of anti-missile and artillery shelling C-RAM systems. The station is located on the chassis of a high-traffic vehicle with the wheel formula 8х8 and can be transported by the BTA C-130 “Hercules” aircraft.

      for the supply of two French reconnaissance satellites worth about 750 million euros,


      The most interesting thing is that they take their satellites into orbit with our rockets
      The Russian Soyuz-ST rocket successfully launched from the Kourou equatorial launch site in French Guiana, its task is to launch military observation satellites into orbit.
      Soyuz-ST launches into orbit two satellites for observation over the Earth's surface, Pleiades-1, prepared by the National Center for Space Research (CNES) for the French Defense Ministry, and four Elisa (Electronic Intelligence by Satellite). With their help, the French Delegation General for Armaments (Defense Procurement Agency) (DGA) will be able to map and characterize radar transmitters located on the ground.

        we have done interesting information about our "lard"
        Roni Daniel, a military observer for the Israeli TV channel 2, delivered sensational material on Russian participation in the Syrian war on June 17. According to Daniel, "the Russians organized a whole system of aerial reconnaissance in the skies of Syria." Its core is Russian-made drones.

        The intelligence collected is “directly transmitted to Assad’s army.”
        Daniel says: “This is real, concrete help. This helps Assad solve his problems. Without this data, the Syrian army would be blind, would not know where to go. The intelligence data collected by the Russians, the picture of the theater of operations that is created with their help, allows the Syrian army to act much better. ”

        Daniel points out a sharp contrast between the massive Russian support for Assad and the weakness of the West: “While in the West they stumble and rush about: to provide such assistance, to provide such assistance, they can’t even make decisions about where the no-fly zone will be located, the Russians do not lose time. They support Syria with weapons, they support it in the diplomatic arena, and now we are demonstrating concrete military assistance, which, without a doubt, has a great influence on what is happening on the battlefields in Syria.

        Our rockets can return their satellites back from orbit.

    Arabs are actively arming themselves most likely because:

    A. When there are no longer any prospects for fighting in Syria for the militants, they may well go to shake their arms to their neighbors. The possibility of such a scenario was clearly demonstrated by the example of Libyan militants in Mali.

    B. It is possible to draw, under certain circumstances, into one meat grinder of the entire Middle East. This, by and large, the West is seeking because it’s easiest to make huge money on chaos and related wars.

    Hence the standard purchase of the UAE in the form of military satellites, as well as other monitoring systems. There will be something, and they, like us, are well aware of this. recourse

    The Saudis are afraid of nothing, while Uncle Sam is behind him. And the UAE is not the Saudis, these, in addition to oil, have fully invested in tourism, creating artificial islands.
