🇦🇪🇮🇷❗ United Arab Emirates Air Force F-16E Multirole Fighters, with their insignia and tail numbers painted over, were observed escorting the aircraft of Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa.

In contrast, Emirati F-16s in regular service clearly display the national flag and tail numbers, markings that are absent in the escort footage.

This suggests a deliberate effort to conceal the UAE Air Force’s involvement in operations against Iran, particularly in the event of a loss or if wreckage were to be discovered or captured on camera at low altitude.

The removal of identifying markings is not the first indirect indication of alleged UAE involvement in the conflict with Iran.
