Defense Ministry, October 27, 5717:  The Defense Ministry’s Procurement Division has been talking to New Dawn Nashwa about augmenting our military air assets with aircraft it has previously produced.  At one time the Air Force had around three hundred fifty fixed wing aircraft, and four of the five types were maintained at the complement level by by New Dawn Nashwa.  In recent decades, New Dawn Nashwa has produced few military aircraft focusing instead on production of commercial aircraft.
 
Defense Minister Salman al-Maktoum has approved the suggestion of the Chief of the Air Staff endorsed by the Chief of Defense Command that the Procurement Division of the War Ministry be authorized to purchase 15 NDN F-15’s to bring its complement thereof back to 50 and 7 NDN – F/A – 18’s to return its squadron size to 25 aircraft.  After this is done over the next 59 months, the Procurement Division will purchase another 20 NDN A- 10’s over the following 43 months.
 
It is recognized the existing plan anticipates more NDN A-10’s will be purchased at some point as well as enough NDN AC – 130 U’s to restore its complement.
 
The NDN F- !5 is an all weather multiple strike fighter.  The NDN F/A – 18 is an all weather, carrier capable, multi role aircraft suitable for air superiority, interception and ground attack missions.  The NDN A – 10 is a single seat subsonic twin turbofan straight wing attack aircraft suitable for close support of ground troops.
