They are only interested in money, and all sorts of moral and political troubles are not about them.

[miru mir]

Uh ... Russia seems to be selling too, no?

A good way to get rid of junk. After all, the latest is hardly sold.

I’m interested in another thing. The UAE is the richest country in the region, in fact. And they can’t arrange production of avibombs. These are consumables. Which may not be necessary at any time. There are also four more warehouses that lie on the ground. Fear warehouses and sense of aviation.

The UAE is the richest country in the region as a matter of fact. And they cannot establish the production of avibombs.

India is also a rich country, but they also buy air bombs, although everything is normal with industry. The point is not in the wealth and level of industry, but in what planes are operated. In order to suspend your own air bombs for Su-24, for example (let's say Algeria decides) it is necessary to coordinate a bunch of issues with the manufacturer, conduct compatibility tests, reset, aim, etc. And it will fly a pretty penny, it is easier to buy FABs from Russia. True, there are precedents, but this is at your own peril and risk.

Guided bombs and guided bombs in Africa, most likely we are talking about JDAM, what is this old weapon?

Ours in Afghanistan are German, they used the WWII period. And did not complain.

Something thoughts come that ISIS is not going to bomb the Saudis.

[Army soldier2]

Saudis - in Saudi Arabia. And the UAE is the United Arab Emirates.

Saudis - in Saudi Arabia. A UAE - United Arab Emirates

I agree, I messed up. But the Arabs have the same doubts.

[Banishing liberoids]

Not only that, the Yankees are constantly bombing the peaceful Syrians, so the emirates are now pulling themselves to them to bomb the civilians as well.

[spike-110]

I doubt that this is old .. I think it's JDAM and SDB

JDAM is not an aerial bomb, it is a targeting kit for conventional free-fall bombs and is usually sold separately. Aerial bombs are usually understood to mean ordinary "cast iron" Mk.82 / 83/84 weighing 500/1000/2000 pounds, as well as cluster bombs such as BLU 109/110/111.
They are bought by thousands because they cost not a lot. And they are already buying JDAM and PAVEWAY guidance kits as needed.

[spike-110]

Well, the UAE the Mk80 series bombs themselves are sculpted .. The BURKAN company is a video where you can clearly see on the Mk82 conveyor (227 kg) https://youtu.be/oex3STqCtk8 so they take JDAM kits ... about cast iron wouldn’t be news .. and the Saudis and Israel specifically voiced that they took bombs from the United States, mean JDAM and SDB

[VNP1958PVN]

That would also be the delivery of the "partners" organized directly from the aircraft carriers.

[Mountain shooter]

For a big war - not enough, what the hell. Or replenish the stock, abstained in Yemen? They stopped fighting, they restore arsenals.

On the contrary, it’s enough for a big war to destroy airfields, military facilities, command posts, storage bases, etc. etc. This is not enough for bomb fighters.

[Sasha75]

In America, there is no junk left, how many new ammunition they are already fighting will be, which they themselves lacked for wasting money, scooped up everything and not the fact that they would approve of the war with potential opponents China and Russia, they have no stockpiles, the military is very concerned. So the UAE traveled to us, then to Belarusians from the Old Man bought something about our I do not know.

Old Man would have sent them air bombs, but alas, they are not suitable for NATO standards.

[masiya]

And what prevents them from making a sale, not only moral principles, only business and nothing personal, all the more it is an opportunity for additional updating of the armaments of the states themselves.

[Sasha75]

According to official information, the recent visit of the Minister of Defense of Qatar, Hamad bin Ali al-Attiy to Minsk and his negotiations with Alexander Lukashenko focused on the procurement of weapons in the "interests of the Qatari army."

“The Qatari army does not need Belarusian weapons (MANPADS, ATGM and RPG systems), since it is equipped according to American standards. Obviously, purchases are for "third parties." Among the final recipients are Libyan Islamists, militants in the Sinai and Syrian supporters of the Islamic State.

Satanovsky also notes that the United Arab Emirates is also acquiring weapons in Belarus. “Al Mutlaq Technology, the Al Mutlaq Croup sales office, is involved in such operations. Its CEO, Hussein Mohammed bin Mutlak al-Ghafli, is a non-public figure. His cousin, Muhammad Abdullah bin Mutlak al-Ghafli, the UAE’s ambassador to Minsk, is better known, which makes it easier for him to acquire weapons in this country, free from all international restrictions and embargoes, ”says Yevgeny Satanovsky.

Say it. The militants didn’t see Belarusian weapons, but there are a lot of Serbian ones.

[kotvov]

the sale of 14,64 thousand bombs and other weapons. ,,
Apparently this price of value is a few pages of some report.

[Kimimilk]

To sell the written-off junk at a price more expensive ?? to partners.

[Vadim237]

Partners will only buy new ammunition.

[Olegater]

I can’t believe that these UAE bought bombs to bombard camels and other animals in the desert. These bednuts begin to grow.
