Chapter 266: Finally Waiting for You
Every air show is full of high-rollers, but there are also countries that are in dire need of air force expansion, and in the eighties Iraq was the most powerful country to come.
As the leading power in the Middle East, Iraq is located on the site of the ancient kingdom of Babylon, with a strong sense of historical responsibility and self-confidence in its own military and economic capabilities, with the support of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, the United States and other rich countries in the Middle East and Western countries, the engine of a long-term national war against Iran.
In the past few years, Iraq's domestic military equipment has suffered serious losses, especially the Air Force, which was almost pressed by Iran's powerful Air Force in the early stage, and after several years of attrition, Iran's main combat aircraft F14 has suffered a significant decline in attendance due to US sanctions.
Saddam Hussein knew that the time had come for the Iraqi Air Force to seize the opportunity to recover its vitality, and with the huge interest-free loans from the local tyrants Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates behind it, huge purchasing delegations frequently appeared at major air shows.
"Yes, we listened to the introduction of Saudi Arabia, you have now developed a new aircraft based on the J-7 aircraft and put it into form, and we now need to negotiate procurement matters."
Iraq is in a state of war, and will not let go of any channel that can obtain advanced military weapons, and Saudi Arabia, the financial owner behind it, strongly recommends this improved model of the Jian-7, and Iraq naturally has to investigate it carefully.
The J-7M fighter that has just been accepted from Jordan has entered service with the Iraqi Air Force, which is a shot in the arm for Iraq, which has suffered huge war losses, and at the same time, the pilots are very satisfied with the improved model of this MiG-21 aircraft, at least the new pilots are not complicated to operate, and they can not fall behind when they encounter Iran's F5.
As for encountering the F14, there is no way. Now Iraq does not have that fighter plane that can resist this guy head-on, and life and death are just a matter of destiny. These doorways are known to all pilots.
And now, for Jordan behind the ready to support the Jianjiao-7A aircraft. Iraq said that this number was completely insufficient, and that this kind of aircraft that could resist Iranian F5s and train pilots was too important for Iraq.
After several years of war, Iraq has not only suffered serious losses of aircraft, but also suffered a considerable loss of pilots, and the training of pilots is also a major event.
This kind of aircraft needed in a country in a state of war is an absolute need, and Yang Hui must not miss it. As for the stipulation that military equipment cannot be sold to belligerents, Yang Hui is hehe, who is the bird of him
"It turned out to be a friend from Iraq, rest assured, regarding the export of Jianjiao 7A, we are the highest priority for Iraqi friends, as long as you place an order, we can deliver it within three months, and directly supply half of the production line capacity to Iraq."
I heard that I could get the plane in three months after placing an order. The head of the purchasing delegation was a little moved, and he was even more excited to hear that he was willing to use half of the production line directly for export to Iraq.
Half the capacity, this is not a joke. This means that as long as two aircraft are produced, one of them will be delivered to Iraq. This is a temptation that cannot be resisted by the Iraqi Air Force, which is in dire need of aircraft and pilots.
At that time, half of the capacity will be used directly to produce orders from Iraq, and the remaining half will be used to produce the remaining half of the capacity. It also needs to be delivered to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and these two countries to destroy the Church 7A. As long as Iraq says a word, it must also fly to Iraq, so it seems that I am afraid that two-thirds of the production capacity of the entire production line will be covered by Iraq.
In less than a year, the Iraqi Air Force will be able to equip at least 40 to 50 Jianjiao-7A aircraft that can both fight and train pilots.
The main thing is that there is also a big consideration, now it is not only the Iraqi Air Force that has suffered heavy battle losses, but also the Iranian Air Force. Iran offended the NATO bloc represented by the United States, and Western countries embargoed Iran, and Iran did not deal with the Soviet Union.
Therefore, only China can quickly replenish Iran's weapons and equipment, and in the Iran-Iraq battlefield, there has already been a situation in which ground combat units are holding China's 59 tanks to bomb each other, and now Iraq wants to seize the front of Iran to cover China's Jian-7 surplus production capacity, completely cutting off the way for the Iranian Air Force to replenish fresh blood.
In addition, the performance of the current Jianjiao 7A itself is also good, which is very suitable for the current situation in Iraq. After much consideration, I finally made up my mind.
"Okay, with your words, I can place an order now, first of all, we need fifty Jianjiao-7A combat trainer aircraft. Of course, we also have a request that you use half of your production capacity to supply our Iraqi orders, and that you will not export this aircraft to Iran. ”
After listening to the news of the Iraqi procurement team, Yang Hui thought carefully and understood Iraq's careful thinking. If you want to talk about the fighter planes purchased by Iran in China in later generations, this is really not much.
In the previous life, Iran also purchased more than a dozen J-7s, but Iran was used to using American-made aircraft F5 and F14, and there were a lot of criticisms for J-7s, so they did not continue to purchase them later.
Since this guy in Iran doesn't have a good impression of Jianqi, it doesn't hurt to give up the Iranian market, but now that he wants to give up the Iranian market, Yang Hui feels that he still needs to find some compensation in Iraq.
Pretending to be very difficult, Yang Hui said: "Regarding my country's embargo on Iran, first of all, I can only guarantee that I can exert some influence on the aircraft, and secondly, I want to say that we are not the only ones who can produce fighter jets, and there are several aircraft factories in China, so it is still a bit troublesome."
The purchasing group heard that there was trouble? As long as it is not said that it cannot be done at all, it may block the way for the Iranian Air Force to purchase military aircraft, and if there is a chance, it will have to see a needle.
"Trouble is not a problem, please speak up, we will definitely solve it, and we will give this matter a solution."
What we want is Iraq's sincerity to solve the problem, and if we want to block the export of fighters from other factories to Iran this time, Yang Hui really has to make a big deal, mainly to block 0132. What to plug with? Without Iran's orders, it is natural that Iraq's orders can only be blocked.
"This is also simple, mainly on the side of the 0132 factory, their current J-7M order production is almost completed, and now the order is insufficient, if they don't do it, they will sell it to Iran, and we have no choice."
It turned out to be 0132 this company, and it can be regarded as an old friend, Iraq's current J-7M is produced by this factory, and it is not bad to use, at least it can be compared with Iran's F5.
However, it is a little unwise to purchase J-7M now, and it is a good choice to purchase J-7A, but the number of orders placed by Iraq itself, as well as orders supported by Saudi Arabia and Jordan, is sufficient. The rest of the money Iraq plans to use in the future to purchase the more combat-ready Super Seven, which is Iraq's goal.
"It is definitely impossible for us to continue to purchase the J-7M, we also need to use the remaining money to purchase the super seven you are developing, if you spend the money now, we will definitely not be able to purchase too many super seven."
The purchasing group is not a fool, now it is said that it is still increasing the chips when it comes to purchasing super seven, and the ministry wants to destroy seven M and seven A, so there is no order to meet the appetite of 0132 now, and can only take out the future super seven orders to tempt Yang Hui, so that Yang Hui can help block the 0132 factory.
I have to say that this Yangmou has succeeded, Yang Hui heard that he was going to purchase Super Seven, and he already had a plan in his heart, if there are dozens of orders for Super Seven from Iraq now, this must be a great good news for Super Seven that is still under development.
"If you are willing to place an order to purchase Chaoqi now, then I can go back and persuade the company's leaders to divide the order of Jianjiaoqi to 0132 factory for 30 aircraft, on the condition that they ban the export of fighters to Iran." (To be continued......)
