After getting the first-hand news, Yang Hui was completely enlightened, no wonder the original long-range strike fighter project will suddenly be changed to a heavy air superiority fighter bidding, this is not to say that the UAE does not plan to have a long-range strike fighter, but to say that the UAE at this time has issued an international bidding before, and it is not good to say that it suddenly gave up the project for no reason, so it simply purchased a batch of heavy air superiority fighters to block the mouths of Western European and American countries.
Now if you don't give an order to appease Europe and the United States, even if the UAE thinks the J-18 fighter is good, it will definitely not be possible to smoothly give the order to AVIC Southwest, the same situation also happened when Kuwait purchased self-propelled artillery, when the bidding results of all aspects were the Republic of PLZ-45 is better, but the United States will get in the way, and in the end Kuwait can only choose to purchase a batch of American self-propelled guns at the same time, and then it can block Europe and the United States and successfully get the Republic of PLZ-45.
Now the United Arab Emirates is obviously deep in the essence of it, by learning Kuwait's methods, this is why the F-14E / F Super Tomcat fighter was selected for procurement, according to the plan This is to be delivered to the Kuwaiti Air Force on time before 2003, and before that, Kuwait may only be able to purchase a batch of multi-purpose long-range strike fighters that have been finalized and produced, so the J-18 will definitely not be able to run.
As for why things have been going on for so long, the UAE has not come to contact with AVIC Southwest, this issue must involve the requirements of the previous Republic military: before the ditch crisis eases, the J-18 is not suitable for the public to disclose flight performance data to the outside world, and the fighters are still in a state of secrecy, so the previous UAE received news that AVIC Southwest temporarily stopped the export of the J-18, and the communication between the two sides was temporarily interrupted.
After all, although the UAE purchases aircraft to require good performance, political factors still need to be considered in many aspects, and if the republic shows good international influence in the ditch crisis and can not succumb to the oppression of the United States, the UAE will naturally be more willing to pay a "protection fee" to the republic.
But if the republic easily succumbs to the pressure of the United States, I am afraid that the UAE will have to consider it separately, and it is okay to choose other fighters at that time, since this is to pay protection money, then you also have to hand it over to someone who seems to be able to protect you.
Now with a wait-and-see attitude, the UAE is happy to follow the requirements of AVIC Southwest, the two sides will suspend the negotiations on the J-18 fighter jet, and there is no problem with putting it first, just now to deal with the bidding for the heavy air superiority fighter project, the UAE can not get enough manpower to come to talk about the J-18 project, so this has caused an illusion in the entire AVIC Southwest, the UAE has given up the J-18 project.
Now that I have figured out these circumstances, I finally have a feeling of enlightenment, it turns out that we still have hope, and before we were just blinded by all kinds of illusions.
.........
"Got it? The current situation is probably like this, our J-18 still has a great hope of winning the big order of the United Arab Emirates, so please re-energize and complete the adaptation of various weapon systems that have not yet been completed by the J-18, and we will not sell the anti-ship YJ-18 missile, but the air-to-ground cruise missile must be completed as soon as possible, and the test and finalization of the two-seat multi-purpose electronic warfare aircraft must also be hurried. ”
J-18 claims to have been finalized and produced in 95, but Yang Hui knows that this finalization is due to the urgency of time, and it is true that it is possible to complete all weapon system adaptations until the end of 95 at the earliest, which is true.
So at this time, it is required to speed up the progress again, although now the entire Guiyang Aviation Industrial Zone has been around the J-18 is all kinds of lively, but this progress is far from enough, now it needs to be a little faster, a little faster.
Knowing that J-18 still has the opportunity to win a large order from the United Arab Emirates, this makes the entire 0111 Institute and Guifei Company inexplicably a little excited, you must know that this is a large order of billions, this is the first time that J-18 has been sold to the outside world since the finalized delivery, if it can successfully win the order, this must be a great achievement, not only to refresh the largest single transaction volume of the Republic's foreign arms sales in one fell swoop, but also to be the first good start of J-18.
"Mr. Yang's analysis is indeed reasonable, but I still have one last question that I don't understand for the time being, this time the UAE has changed the previous long-range strike fighter funds to the purchase of heavy air superiority fighters, which will inevitably lead to insufficient funds for the purchase of long-range strike fighters, so I feel that this does not make sense!"
Get! It's really the first time that Yang Hui has heard that someone is worried about the lack of money for the Middle East oil tyrants, this joke is really not very funny, do you really think that the UAE has only approved a fund for the purchase of long-range strike fighters before this?
Jokes, Yang Hui alone knows that the last face of the UAE in the 90s scattered fighter purchase orders a lot, although the UAE's fighter procurement project in the entire nineties is the most eye-catching F-16E/F Desert Falcon fighter, but in addition to that batch of F-16, also in the nineties in the United Arab Emirates, there is also a military purchase involving the Mirage 2000 fighter jet.
As I said before, in 83 years, the United Arab Emirates purchased a batch of Mirage 2000 fighters, the project totaled 36, and there were 33 aircraft left after the loss of 3 aircraft in the middle, so in the last 98 years, the UAE chose to be upgraded by Dassault of France for these 33 Mirage 2000 fighters, and also purchased 32 new Mirage 2000-9 fighters, and the contract amount was as high as 3.2 billion US dollars.
Therefore, to say that the UAE has no money, this is really not funny at all, you must know that the UAE in 98 only signed a contract for the development and procurement of the F-16E/F desert falcon in 96 two years ago, and the entire amount is as high as 7 billion US dollars, so in the 90s, the UAE took out at least 10 billion US dollars to purchase updated Air Force fighters, which seems to be short of money to spend?
The UAE spent $7 billion on the F-16E/F fighter project, because the UAE needed to bear all the F-16E/F research and development costs at that time, but the UAE chose to purchase F-14E/F fighters as air superiority fighters, and this aircraft was developed by the U.S. Navy at the expense of the U.S. Navy, and the purchase quantity was also shared by the U.S. Navy, plus the UAE certainly can't purchase too many F-14E/F fighters. At that time, the maximum order value may be about $5 billion.
In this way, even if it is still planned according to the total amount of 10 billion US dollars, there will be at least 5 billion US dollars left in this plane for the procurement of long-range strike fighter projects, so this money is really for AVIC Southwest, which can really wake up with a smile when it falls asleep.
