Will UAE Co-Develop SU-75 Checkmate With Moscow After Suspending US F-35 Fighter Deal?
Russia is looking to co-produce its new Su-75 Checkmate stealth fighter aircraft with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which recently suspended a $23 billion arms deal with the US.
Moscows collaboration with Abu Dhabi could be a win-win situation as it has the potential to revitalize Russias struggling defense industry while also reducing the UAEs dependence on the West for its warplanes.

The Su-75 Checkmate is designed to be a low-cost alternative to the US F-35 fighter jets. This modern aircraft is the second fifth-generation warplane that Russia will produce after the Su-57.
