UAE F-16s escort Syrian president with markings hidden

Footage shows United Arab Emirates Air Force F-16E multirole fighters, with their national insignia and tail numbers painted over, escorting the aircraft of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa. This contrasts with standard Emirati F-16s, which clearly display national markings. The deliberate concealment of identifying features suggests an effort to obscure the UAE Air Force's involvement in regional operations, particularly concerning Iran. This incident is not the first indirect indication of alleged UAE involvement in the conflict with Iran.
