"Since I have made up my mind to fight for the project, then my old man can only exert some spare heat to help communicate with the two of you, and I will inform them on the South African side, so that the other side can prepare in advance, and it should be best if I can let the other side designate the cooperation unit as the Rongcheng side." ”

This time, it is necessary not only to establish good relations with the military of the Republic, but also to have good relations with South Africa, which is a necessary off-the-shelf move to bid for large-scale military projects.

Lockheed, the world's largest defense company, did not produce many planes during World War II, and was even kicked out of the top fighter bidding plate after the war, and could only run to play reconnaissance planes, but why was it able to beat other competitors in the fourth-generation aircraft project decades later, and it also stood out.

In addition to Lockheed's own experience in the research and development of stealth aircraft, it also has a lot to do with its excellent relationship with the US military.

"You can do it yourself, this time you go back to China, maybe after the celebration banquet of the first flight of the 10th over there is completed, I guess there will be a big guy who will come to you to consult all kinds of news. ”

It is rare to gather so many bigwigs this time, and he will definitely get all the problems that should be dealt with by the way, Comrade Wang is a veteran military industry for many years, and he is really not too familiar with these routine processes, even if he closes his eyes, he can guess what process to go next, and even the content of the conversation and consultation.

"I know that as long as I know what Rongcheng is thinking in advance, I can understand what to say when the time comes. But there is still a problem, this time the military is sure that as long as the tea falcon is Wuzhi, it will not pop out again after a while and say that it wants to get a Jaguar helicopter. ”

This time, he was really afraid of the domestic military, and he came back today and clamored for a tea falcon, in case he wanted something tomorrow, he didn't really have to collapse people.

"No, what do they want the Puma helicopter to do, unless they're full!"

Wang Zhengguo can guarantee 100% that the military will not be interested in the jaguar, and that little guy is completely unreliable.

The military, which has already used the Black Hawk, will definitely not look at such a thing as the Cougar in terms of front-line assault transport helicopters, including the future Z-8 series, which can only be continuously improved and widened, and become a 13-17 ton guy like the EH-101.

I'm afraid that Lao Wang still doesn't believe it, which explains again.

"The pilot imported two improved Super Cougar helicopters of the Cougar before, and they have been placed there for routine flight missions until now, and I have not heard that domestic units are required to copy the helicopter, so I guess that the military may still take a fancy to the configuration of the Black Hawk. ”

The domestic military has imported Black Hawk helicopters, but this old Wang knows that after all, most of these planes are stationed in the Rongcheng Military Region, and he has heard of them to some extent.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this should also be the reason, since the turboshaft 6 engine has been determined to be able to handle it according to the performance of the original version, if the military really has the idea of the Jaguar, it may be directly put out to bid together this time.

......

The two did not talk too deeply about the armed helicopter, and Wang Zhengguo felt that this project was actually not difficult at all.

Several key indicators of the armed helicopter, among which the protection ability is nothing more than to see if you have enough power, if the power is enough, you can definitely install more bulletproof plates, so if you want to solve this indicator, the simple and crude engine power increase routine is the most effective.

The weapon series is nothing more than cannons and missiles, and no matter who is the main contractor for such things, it is absolutely handed over to the unit specializing in the development of guns and cannons, and it is impossible to use the aviation cannons on the fighter jets anyway.

As for the anti-tank missile, it is also very simple, just change it directly on the basis of the Red Arrow 8, and the upper plane is the way to go in China, and now there are other better ways to not do it.

And if you want to talk about the avionics system, I'm sorry, even if Rongcheng has never developed the vitreous cockpit avionics used in helicopters, but relying on the electronics industry capacity of Rongcheng High-tech Industrial Park, it can definitely reduce ten times.

In the radar observation and aiming part, Shuhang's ability in optoelectronic technology is not to mention, and several other Chinese power research institutes in the surrounding area, as well as several large military optical equipment factories in Guang'an, are not bad, and these can be tendered nationwide.

Other fire control, flight control, machinery, these are all trivial, get the design data of South Africa, in fact, a little modification can be done.

If we take another 10,000 steps back, we really have to encounter any problems that are not easy to solve, and the Soviet Union will collapse soon, and this time there will be no blood transfusion of a large number of Mi-17 helicopters from the Republic Army Airlines, and the Maozi helicopter industry will have a very hard time, and at that time it will directly poach people from Maozi's hands.

There is no problem that cannot be solved by digging people, and if there is, then keep digging!

As for the imminent turmoil in South Africa, whether the designers of the original Tea Falcon helicopter can poach it, this Wang Zhengguo really didn't think much about it, because there are too many choices after 90 years.

Of course, this premise is that Southwest Motor is required to solve the engine problem first.

Just when the Rongcheng Aircraft Development Center was ambitious to win the Wuzhi project, Pakistan, which was regarded as the largest overseas customer of the Super Seven Fighter by Factory 123, came out with surprising news that Pakistan, which had always been poor, actually funded the purchase of American-made F-16 fighter jets by itself.

In the additional procurement of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets, the Peace Gate Program 2 confirmed the purchase of 11 F-16A/B Block 15 OCUs, and the Peace Gate 3 project is also in the final negotiation stage, and it is said that the number of fighters purchased in this batch is as high as 60 aircraft, with a total value of 1.4 billion US dollars.

In this way, the Pakistan Air Force's funds for the purchase of new fighters have almost been completely emptied, and the team of more than 100 F-16 fighters is enough to shoulder Pakistan's national defense needs.

Although the domestic military has repeatedly assured that they will continue to purchase super seven fighters, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the future No. 10, super eight and super seven will be in service at the same time, and the competition between the three models is equally fierce.

Now it has lost the largest market for traditional fighter equipment in vain, which is heart-wrenching!

The only thing that makes people happy is the Egyptian side, because the UK also needs to sell the matching RB-199 engine, so it also exerts some influence on the Egyptian side, although it is not clear whether it has any effect, but the Egyptian side finally signed the order at the end of 88.

The first batch of 24 super seven fighters were purchased, and the remaining 38 orders were retained, and the unit price of the aircraft was 12.6 million US dollars, which is probably relatively cheap, after all, the price of the RB-199 engine used this time is already expensive, and the super seven can control the price of the whole machine to this level, which is actually very good.

At the same time, Bastan purchased F-16 fighters, and its unit price was as high as 23 million US dollars, which is almost double the price gap, and the combat performance of Super Seven is fully capable of reaching about 75% of the F-16a/bBlock15 OCU.

The reason why it can be recognized by Egypt is mainly because the Super Seven is compatible with Egypt's existing weapon systems relatively well, including the air combat weapons that Egypt has replaced with a large number of F-16 fighters at this time, and it can also be used.

The Super 7 has a Thunderbolt-8 interface, and the missile is perfectly compatible with the American-made AIM-9, a capability that Israel retained when designing the Thunderbolt 8's prototype, the Snake 3 missile.

As for the semi-active medium-range radar-guided missiles prepared in China for the Super 7, 10, and Super 8, they are still derived from the Italian Aspide missile technology, and the Aspide is compatible with the American-made AIM-7 Sparrow missile.

So this is almost a perfect solution to the problem of weapon compatibility of the Super Seven, both medium range and combat ammunition are compatible with Egypt's current inventory of F-16 weapons, and it is with these in mind that Egypt has chosen to purchase Super Seven fighters to maintain its pilot team.

Although the combat capability of the Super Seven is not as good as that of the F-16, it is completely stress-free to deploy it to the Libyan border in the west, and the Sudanese border in the south can also be dealt with by the Super Seven, so that the elite F-16 can be mobilized to the core of Egypt in the northeast to be responsible for the air defense mission of the Israeli side.

It was also after Egypt signed a large order that the news quickly spread among the countries that were interested in purchasing Super Seven fighters, among which Myanmar and Bangladesh were the most likely to procure.

Bangladesh, which has a little more sufficient funds, has a lot of pressure on national defense, and India next door is shouting all day long, and in terms of armaments, it is the MiG-29 in charge of the Chinese army.

And as a neighbor of Bangladesh, Myanmar can't sit still, everyone is usually half a catty and eight taels, you Bangladesh all use super seven such good things, can I Myanmar be backward, although the military expenditure approved by the government this time is not much, but I will buy less in the first batch, and then slowly add it!

Originally, Thailand had also inspected Super Seven before, but when I saw that Myanmar had already signed the order first, I thought I could wait and see for a while.

Anyway, Thailand has only been equipped with the F-5E for a short time, and the demand for new fighters is not too great, and the surrounding Southeast Asian countries are not willing to upgrade to the third-generation aircraft team on a large scale, so there is no need for Thailand to start an air force arms race.

According to Thailand's small abacus, it is necessary to wait for Myanmar to serve for more than seven years, and then pull its own F-5E out for a friendly match, first determine how big the gap between the two sides is, and then see if it is necessary to purchase new aircraft.

Looking back, Pakistan, the largest customer who seemed to be the most likely to purchase Super Seven fighters, although it still proposed to retain the purchase intention of Super Seven fighters, but anyone with a discerning eye can guess that it is unlikely that the real order will be placed.

At its peak, the Pakistan Air Force had more than 15 members of the delegation stationed in Chengdu to follow up the Super 7 project, but at this time, the team was directly withdrawn to only one person to do the communication task.

Rasha, who came to Chengdu in the name of the Super Seven Fighter Delegation, withdrew directly from the delegation and announced that he would stay in Kaiyang Semiconductor to work, but Pakistan did not retain too much, and Pakistan did not need this kind of talent in the country.
