#2 Looking to retrofit their private 747's?
Maybe just a stockpile for 'NATO' forces in the region.

#3 What good are bunker busters without a delivery system?

Sixty F-16s and Sixty Mirage 2000s for "thousands of advanced 'bunker-busting' bombs"...

#4 Just what is the UAE supposed to do with those bunker busters? Use them on Iran?

#7 And five qualified pilots, pater.

Arab, perhaps.

Contract pilots are another story.

#9 Huh? Those would be useful only against a ground target. I can't even dream of a scenario where the UAE could use them. Do they want to play with them or something like that?

#10 "Contract". I see.

A long-standing Arab tradition.

#11 The UAE can get 3 PAK planes for the price of one US F-16, perhaps even a few Russian "NIGHTHUNTER" attack choppers???

Meanwhile ...
