Contracts between United Arab Emirates and Russia

United Arab Emirates (UAE) has signed an agreement with Rosoboronexport for the supply of 5000 AT missiles. So far there are no details on the type, but it could be Kornet-E. The contract is worth 708 million $ and includes support and training.

An agreement on the development of a light 5° generation fighter aircraft has been signed. Sukhoi and MiG would provide designs for the type, which will be single engined. RSK MiG has been privately developing a 5° generation fighter aircraft, but the latest concepts were 2 engined.

Finally, negotiations are ongoing about a Sukhoi Su-35 sale. I would find this very surprising because UAE is supposed to be very close to acquire Dassault Rafale. The Mirage 2000-9 operated by the Air Force could be part of this deal.
