Dubai Air Shows
Thing is though over the 4 x Dubai Air Shows I have attended, the Rafale has performed solo and kinda wows the crowd. I have only seen one Typhoon appearence and that was in 2017 show (my pics below) and got to sit inside it lol as it made an appearence only for one day only on the second day.
If I read correctly the UAE deal also includes the H225M ?? Back when I attended my first Dubai Air Show 2015 I saw their AS532U with AM39 Exocet (my pics below)
SO figured it be a nutral progression and was surpirsed they had not bought any H225M in recent years. Mind you last months DAS 2021, the Airbus Hellicopter chalet had a Kuwaiti Air Force H225M (my pics below) so wondered if that would sway the UAE into buying some ?
cheers
