Calidus Holding Group, a prominent defence manufacturer in the UAE, has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) from Angola for the procurement of 12 B‑250T training aircraft. This agreement underpins advanced pilot training initiatives and underscores the increasing trust in the UAE’s military aviation capabilities.

The B-250T is an advanced training aircraft designed by the Calidus Aerospace cluster, offering an integrated training platform that enhances pilot skills in a safe and efficient manner. Its versatility allows trainees to execute diverse maneuvers and tasks under realistic conditions.

This order marks a significant achievement in the B-250T's development, affirming Calidus Holding Group’s standing as a preferred provider of sophisticated pilot training solutions.

Constructed using cutting-edge materials, the B-250T features a strong carbon fiber framework and state-of-the-art avionics. Its aerodynamic configuration ensures outstanding aerobatic capabilities and superior handling. Moreover, the aircraft is engineered for straightforward maintenance, adaptability, and future upgrades, providing a trustworthy training platform.

Equipped with advanced features, including a fifth-generation cockpit, radar, sensors, and mission management systems, the aircraft allows trainee pilots to execute simulated air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, including exercises during day and night. These capabilities provide invaluable, real-world experience efficiently and effectively.

The B-250T also includes multiple simulation options, equipping pilots for contemporary operational demands. By aligning modern avionics with immersive training functionalities, the aircraft ensures high preparedness levels before actual deployments.

This procurement highlights the recognition of the UAE’s prowess in producing military aviation products that conform to international standards. Calidus Holding is steadfast in its commitment to deliver pioneering solutions that heighten defence training and operational efficacy.

Through this acquisition, Angola will gain access to state-of-the-art training aircraft, enhancing pilot skills and combat preparedness. This move signifies a broader trend towards strengthened defence partnerships and the adoption of innovative technologies in military training.
