Chapter 294: Sell Indian nuclear submarines
"Mr. Na Mawi, I leave this matter to you, and on behalf of our Indian government, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you!" said an official of the Indian Ministry of Defense thanked Mawi on the phone.
This is the gap between military and non-military powers. Ma Wei can do this deal without fear. India, on the other hand, can only wait for news from him.
"Don't worry, thank me so early, I'll do my best. Ma Wei said to an Indian Defense Ministry official. Now his treatment of people has gradually become perfect. Know what kind of attitude to show in front of whom.
To talk about the previous life, every time there was a conflict between India and Pakistan, Russia was always the beneficiary side. Either sell planes to Pakistan, or tanks, submarines, fighter jets, to India. And it's always a sale, and the other party rushes to ask for it.
"Thank you, Mr. Mavi!" said an Indian Ministry of Defense official, who put his posture to the minimum. Who called their ace plane, really not powerful. Now the Indian Air Force already has a psychological shadow on their self-developed fighters.
As soon as you set off, you are ready for a crash. The first thing to check each time is whether the ejection seat and parachute in the cockpit can be opened smoothly. Otherwise, the probability of falling to death is 60% to 70%!
(The Indian pilot's driver's license is said to be easier to get than a car license in some countries, which may also be one of the reasons for his crash.)
Two weeks later, a Boeing 737 passenger plane from India landed at a Russian international airport on time. The big man on the plane was India's Defense Minister, Hasenmangalava.
The main purpose of his visit to Russia this time is to persuade the Russian military to sell them sub-advanced weapons. For example, the long-coveted MiG-33 fighter, such as the Su-30 fighter with super high performance, and so on.
The reason why it is said to convince the military is because the hateful Ma Wei has not been heard from for two weeks. Even the Russian military has turned a blind eye to India's request for an arms deal. If it were a few years ago, as soon as I heard that there was business coming to the door, I am afraid that the Russian government would not have time to welcome it.
All of these changes are due to Ma Wei.
"Good morning, Minister Hasenmangalava, and welcome to Russia. "Out of courtesy, Mavi is going to greet him at the airport.
After all, in its previous life, India was notoriously fond of buying arms. Even if the government has no money, it has to take out a loan to buy it, and it is a big deal that in the next ten years, it will be slowly repaid with interest.
"Hello, you must be that Mr. Mavi, right?" said Indian Defense Minister, Hassenmangalawa. Although this was the first time he had seen Ma Wei, he had already heard of Ma Wei's name. I know it's a ruthless character.
Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, shot down one of his Su-30 fighters. Russia mobilized its national strength to crusade against Afghanistan. If there is no element of someone, I don't believe it.
"Mr. Mavi, can your country's MiG-33 fighter jets be sold to me in India, I have not received an answer from you. Hasenmangalava, after shaking hands with Mavi, was the first to say to him.
"Minister Hassenmangalava, regarding the sale of MiG-33 fighters, our Russian military is also in a difficult situation. After all, the data and information of this fighter are still not open to the public. You have to know its information, intelligence, but there are many countries that want to buy it at a high price. Ma Wei replied truthfully.
The MiG-33 is the Mikoyan Design Bureau, based on the design of the former Soviet Union, incorporating the latest communication technology, anti-electronic jamming technology. Moreover, scientists from the Hosui Design Bureau, too, participated. This makes the MiG-33, with more excellent performance and stability. Many countries outside want to inquire about it.
"Then Mr. Mavi, you see that we are now in your Russian territory, about the 3.5 generation fighter ......," Minister Hasenmangalava asked Mavi patiently. I want to know how the Russian military is willing to sell this MiG-33 fighter.
"Let me say so, Minister Hassan Mangalava. According to the feedback from the Russian military, they would like to advise you if you want to buy MiG-33 fighters. Why don't you spend a little more money and buy back the Navy's Akula-class nuclear submarines as well?" Ma Wei asked the Indian Defense Minister lightly.
As soon as his words fell, he saw Minister Hasenmangalava standing in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment!
"What, what!?Mr. Mavi, you mean... Akula-class nuclear submarines? This you Russia is willing to sell?" Hasenmangalava was really taken aback. The nuclear submarine is very awesome, it is the nemesis of all ships on the sea. Even if you encounter an anti-submarine ship, as long as it is hidden deep enough, it will have the power to fight.
Unless the other side also sends nuclear submarines, and sends more anti-submarine planes and anti-submarine ships to throw sonar buoys everywhere, it will be difficult to take advantage.
The Akula-class nuclear submarine was one of the nuclear submarines that played a surprise role in the confrontation between Russia and Japan at sea some time ago. At that time, the Maritime Self-Defense Force of Xiao Yuben was really scared. It is the last class of conventional attack nuclear submarines developed by the Soviet Union, and it is also the most attack nuclear submarine built by the Soviet Union or Russia after the Type 671 attack nuclear submarine Type III.
Its underwater displacement is 9,500 tons, the length is 110 meters, the width is 13.5 meters, the maximum underwater speed is 35 knots, it can be shallow to 600 meters deep, and its self-sustaining power is about 100 days.
"That's right, Minister Hasson Mangalava, it's the Type 971 attack nuclear submarine. I wonder if your government is interested in it?" asked Mavi with a smile to the Indian Defense Minister.
In this life, Russia and India only traded 6 Grisha-class frigates last year. So when Mavi said that the Russian Navy is willing to sell Akula-class nuclear submarines to India, Minister Hasenmangalava, will be so surprised.
"This... Mr. Mavi: What kind of way is your country's Type 971 attack nuclear submarine sold?" Minister Hasenmangalava asked Mawei excitedly.
If there are Russian nuclear submarines, plus MiG-33 fighters, then they India, let alone Pakistan. Even Burma, which is next door, dares to be angry at the same time! Anyway, whether it is Pakistan or Burma, he and India are not used to it. If it weren't for some eastern country, it really couldn't be defeated, otherwise the belligerent Indians would definitely be able to beat the surrounding countries one by one.
"Don't be in a hurry to talk about the price or anything, Minister Hasenmangalava. Our Russian Navy now has an Akula-class nuclear submarine that has completed its patrol mission. I don't know if you, minister, would you like to go with me for a field visit?" asked the Indian defense minister.
