The report from the White House in the United States on the sale of 50 F-35 stealth aircraft to the United Arab Emirates surprised security officials because of its scope.

The United Arab Emirates, like other countries in the Middle East, has tried in recent years to purchase the advanced aircraft but the United States has insisted on Israel's qualitative advantage, and Jerusalem has strongly opposed it.

After a change in the Donald Trump administration's policy and in Israel did not stand on its own two feet, security and IDF officials estimated that the deal would include 30-25 evasive planes.



Defense officials clarified that "this is not the end of the verse" Poland and Singapore, which recently signed an F-35 procurement agreement with the United States, will receive the first aircraft from 2024, so estimates by military officials that the deal could take place around 2024 onwards. The extreme and unlikely scenario It will be if the Americans decide in a dramatic move to transfer F-35s from Lockheed Martin's production line to the United Arab Emirates at the expense of the US Air Force.According



to security sources, the scope of the deal is worrying and there is a fear of information leak In practice in the long term from 2024. Israel has signed an agreement to purchase 50 F-35 stealth aircraft and of these they have so far received 24. The rest of the aircraft will be received at a rate of six per year.

In addition, Israel has a purchase option agreement for another 70 evasive aircraft.

The production line is designed in accordance with procurement transactions and is very difficult to influence unless it comes at the expense of other orders.

This week the United States announced that it would sell six stealth aircraft to the Greeks, which were destined for the Turkish Air Force.

Due to the purchase of the S-400 system from Russia, it was decided to exclude Ankara from the evasive aircraft project.



This week, the Turks conducted an experiment in the system and it is a source of concern in the Air Force, especially against the background of regional tensions.

In Jerusalem they would have preferred to see the Turks purchase American weapons that bring with them Western influence and balances, while the approach of the Recep Tayyip Erdogan's approach to Russia for various reasons may change the rules of the game in the region.



Unsurprisingly, the US announcement created a wide media response in Israel and Defense Minister Bnei Gantz did not oppose it and issued a reassuring statement, "The United States continues to be committed to Israel's security and its qualitative and technological advantage in the Middle East."

But those words are not really reassuring, given the assessment by security officials that if Trump is re-elected, there will be more Arab countries from the Middle East that will get the approval to purchase the F-35 like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Trump has already shown that he cares first for the interests of the United States, and then for its allies and when it comes to money he conducts himself accordingly.

Ganz and Defense Ministry Director General Amir Eshel, surprisingly, did not insist in meetings with US Secretary of Defense Mark Asper and senior administration officials on receiving an additional budget for security assistance amid a change in US policy. Increasing the budget would have released a lot of pressure in the IDF.

But according to sources close to him, he did succeed in reaching an agreement that obliges the United States to ensure that a substantial distance is maintained between the quality of the weapons systems and technology sold to Israel and similar deals in the Middle East with Arab countries for decades.



The IDF has superiority in intelligence and air mainly because of quality human capital and diverse technologies made in Israel. Israel Air Force insisted and got a plane experiment so that can be developed for the F-35 Himosim advanced and additional capabilities that will be for other countries and will provide substantial benefits to the larger.



The ability Does not solve the defense system and the decision-makers and the political echelon for failure in long-term planning. It was long expected that the dam that separated Arab countries from advanced weapons would not last long and Israel would have to build the procurement graph differently. Advanced type 4 chariot type with a "windbreaker" system, while he abandoned the ADF farm to the point of failure. This is the case with the Nahal Brigade. Planning failure and dragging its feet in the decision-making process You also saw in the old heavy transport helicopter system that was in the last line before a large purchase deal for a future helicopter.
