The Arab Yemeni purchasing delegation brought news that it was very interested in the J-74 fighter on display this time. Also in view of the traditional friendship of the Republic of Arabia and Yemen, Yang Hui agreed to sell in principle without much consideration.

Followed by the purchase of the supporting Annihilation Sect 7A, these are all must-haves, and the preliminary intention has been reached, and Yang Hui warmly invited.

"Then ask our friends in Arabia and Yemen to send pilots in a timely manner, and we will help pilots learn and evaluate the various performance of the aircraft as soon as possible, and we also hope that friends in Arabia and Yemen can determine the scale of the fleet procurement as soon as possible."

Although it is determined to purchase the J-74, the Arab Yemen guy is still not sure how many planes to purchase, which Yang Hui did not expect, and such a buyer may be the first time he has encountered it.

What Yang Hui didn't know was that before seeing the J-74 of Southwest Science and Industry, Arab Yemen only had plans to purchase fighters, and the specific situation was still being discussed, so why couldn't he come up with the purchase quantity now.

But Yang Hui is sure that the scale of the aircraft purchased by Arab Yemen this time is definitely more than the previous plane, and now it is 86 years, Democratic Yemen and Arab Yemen are still inseparable, and Saudi Arabia still has considerable support for Arab Yemen.

Although the last Arab Yemen also purchased the Jian-7, it was already 89 years, and the Soviet Union in 89 could not protect itself, and democratic Yemen naturally had no backup, and the threat to the Arab royal party was quite small.

Democratic Yemen is less of a threat to the Arab royal party, and the Arab royal party will definitely stop supporting Arab Yemen, and the last Arab Yemen did not have the support of Arab countries in 89. Due to its own lack of funds, only 6 J-7s were purchased. Now Arab Yemen is still backed by the aid of the Arab royal party. How many planes will they buy?

This was something that Yang Hui was always interested in until the last day of the air show. On this day, the commander of the Arab Yemeni Air Force and a person in charge of Saudi Arabia's foreign military aid project walked to the Southwest Science and Industry Exhibition Hall.

"Your Excellency Vice Minister, this is what we are preparing to purchase J-74 multi-role fighters, considering the special situation of our country, this kind of fighter with not too high logistical requirements and relatively simple operation is the most in line with the needs."

Arab Yemen is still very self-aware and knows that the logistics and maintenance level of its air force is very scummy, and it deliberately emphasizes these two points, which adds to the convincing power.

Was brought to the Saudi Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. I have long heard that Southwest Science and Industry and Saudi Arabia have cooperated in the development of a fighter, and when I first heard that Arab Yemen asked Saudi Arabia to provide military aid for the purchase of a batch of J-74, I have already made a decision in my heart, and now I am going to the booth of Southwest Science and Industry, just ready to confirm the situation again.

Yang Hui had met the Saudi vice minister of foreign affairs, and he also went to the republic with Sultan in 83 to discuss the cooperation of the Seven A, and now it is naturally easier to talk.

After some politeness, the three parties finally brought the main issue to the issue of the purchase of the Jian-74 by Arab Yemen.

"I have received a request from the commander of the Air Force in Arab Yemen. We, Saudi Arabia, will provide $100 million in military aid for the purchase of this Jian-74 fighter, and this time we are here to discuss this matter. In view of the fact that we in Saudi Arabia have participated in the investment of Jianjiao-7A, this time Yemen asked to purchase the Jian-74 project. Is it possible to calculate the internal purchase price of our Saudi Arabia? ”

When Yang Hui heard this, he understood Saudi Arabia's careful thinking, but how could Yang Hui give Saudi Arabia a loophole. J-74 is an aircraft developed by Southwest Science and Industry at its own expense, and it has nothing to do with J-7A.

If it is now recognized, Saudi Arabia can purchase the J-74 at the internal price. That means that if you admit that J-74 has a background in Sand investment, it will become the same as J-7A. Each time, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have to take most of the profits.

How can this be, Yang Hui did not hesitate to block this opening: "No, no, our J-74 fighter and the investment and development side of the J-74 A-7A are completely different two relationships, the J-74 must not be calculated according to the J-7A, it must be calculated according to the normal sales price, of course, the two-seat J-7A purchased by the J-74 this time can be calculated according to the internal price." ”

Yang Hui's words are reasonable, so that Saudi Arabia has no reason to object, and now it is not without gains, isn't the Jianjiao 7A fighter purchased in this supporting package calculated according to Saudi Arabia's internal procurement price? It's already pretty good.

"Okay, that's not bad, then do as you say, we Saudi Arabia will provide $100 million in military aid to Arabia Yemen for the purchase of 12 J-74 multi-role fighters, as for the supporting two-seat Jianjiao-7A training aircraft, we will no longer procure it, we will send all the current 10 Jianjiao-7A of our Saudi Air Force flight demonstration team back to the Southwest Science and Industry Company for improvement and upgrading, replacing it with a new turbofan 10 engine, and unifying the logistics support of the Arab Yemen Air Force."

Hearing the way Saudi Arabia dealt with it, Yang Hui felt that there was no need to object, anyway, it was 100 million US dollars, whether it was the modification of ten old-fashioned Annihilation 7A, or the purchase of four brand-new complete Annihilation 7A, it was the same money.

As for Arab Yemen, they have nothing to object to, and the modification of ten Saudi Arabian Jianjiao 7A, which has just been used for a year, can get a total of 22 fighters, and all the new aircraft purchased can only have 16 aircraft.

The Yemen Arab Republic will still be able to add and subtract this kind of short answer, and happily agreed, and immediately called for the preparation of signing the procurement contract, which was even more urgent than Yang Hui.

"We fully agree with this military aid project, and we will immediately send our pilots to the test flight, and strive to receive the aircraft as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness."

Speaking of this, the commander of the Arab Yemeni Air Force was also very happy in his heart, and even silently pondered whether this time it was possible for Arab Yemen to provide some funds and purchase a few more J-74 multi-role fighters to make up the establishment.

Regardless of the little Jiujiu in the heart of the commander of the Arab Yemeni Air Force, this time to participate in the first Dubai Air Show, Southwest Science and Industry, Xifei, and Hongdu are all in the limelight, and each has its own harvest.

After Yang Hui talked about a small order, he knew that there would be no more customers this time, and the air show was about to end in three hours, so he instructed the staff to clean up the booth, and Yang Hui was also ready to go to other booths to see.

It was not a few minutes after walking out of the booth of Southwest Science and Industry, and I met the Thai team that also came to participate in the air show, and the team was actually my old friend: Wenjin, commander of the Royal Thai Air Force, this guy is very leisurely and can travel everywhere at public expense.

"Alas, Secretary-General Yang, I am very happy to see your exhibitor group again, how did you gain from this exhibition? As the purchaser of the J-74, I have been paying close attention to the movements of the J-74 of the Southwest Science and Industry Company. ”

Wenjin took the first step to say hello, Yang Hui was busy responding, after the last time Thailand inspected the J-74, he had agreed to the configuration of the J-74 super luxury version proposed by Yang Hui, and had signed a tripartite agreement with Southwest Science and Industry and Northrop to use the advanced sub-project of F20 to carry out large-scale technical upgrades on J-74 again, and the project was named J-74 T (meaning the Thai version of J-74).

Yang Hui got the news from Northrop last time, the luxury version of the J-74T fighter tailored for Thailand has been able to prepare for test flight, and it is expected that the technology will be finalized by the end of 87, and the key airborne equipment will be transported by Northrop to produce the whole machine in Southwest Science and Industry.
