"According to what you mean, it means that a total of two anti-ship missiles can be provided as a choice, one is a 700-kilogram anti-ship missile specially developed for the unique combat mode of stealth fighters, and the other is a 100-kilogram anti-ship missile against the sea, and this kind of thing can also be used on the JF-18 fighter, I understand, right?"

The talks began again, after Yang Hui and Shi Ping took turns to explain, for these Gulf oil buns, they were finally able to understand what the specific situation was, at this time I was actually a little surprised inexplicably, and at the beginning I said that the aircraft design had not considered the anti-ship combat mission at all, and now it has only been a long time, and I can come up with two anti-ship missiles, which is really a strong technical ability!

However, on the one hand, I feel recognized by the technical capabilities of AVIC Southwest, and on the other hand, it is absolutely impossible to say that there are no negative thoughts, you must know that Yang Hui just said that the development of a new 700-kilogram anti-ship missile must be borne by the United Arab Emirates to bear all the research and development costs, and the cost is 500 million US dollars. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

If you really want to tell the truth, using $500 million to develop an anti-ship missile, although it is a little expensive, but there is absolutely no situation where the lion opens his mouth, after all, the development of missiles is definitely not a simple job, and the speed of ballistic anti-ship missiles is certainly not enough, and at that time, Hongdu will have to invest a lot of money in the development of hypersonic anti-ship missiles terminal maneuvering and orbit change technology.

The reason why the anti-ship ballistic missiles of the previous face of the Republic made the Americans shy away is absolutely impossible is simply because of the high speed and accuracy of the missiles, if only speed and accuracy were enough, then Iraq's Scud missiles would not have been so easy to intercept, you must know that the terminal speed of the Scud missiles has also reached the hypersonic level, and in the end it was not intercepted by a large number of Patriot 3 air defense missiles.

Therefore, as long as the conventional ballistic missiles have not reached the long-range and intercontinental level, the medium and short-range ballistic missiles may still be intercepted, so in this case, it is necessary to sacrifice a new magic weapon for the missile, that is, the legendary terminal maneuvering orbit change technology, and the airborne anti-ship ballistic missiles after this thing can penetrate the US air defense system with shield ships with a high probability.

And one of the most important problems at present is that these technologies are not so easy to develop, in fact, other technologies are easy to say, but this terminal maneuver and orbit change technology, without hundreds of millions of dollars of funds to smash down, you really can't hear a sound.

It's just that relatively speaking, what the UAE is really dissatisfied with actually refers to the fact that the missile fire control program code proposed by Hongdu will not be disclosed to the UAE, and there is no fire control program code, which means that it is impossible for the UAE to make any changes to the missile itself in the future, and even without the support of Hongdu's engineering and technical personnel, it is impossible for the UAE to mount the missile on other fighters even if it has a missile.

Hongdu made a fire control match between the missile and the middle four, then the missile can only be loaded into the middle four for use, and even if it is the same middle four fighter, if Hongdu only adapts the fire control data corresponding to the main bomb bay in the belly of the missile, then I'm sorry, the UAE can't even change it by itself, and add the ability to mount this type of anti-ship missile on the inner side of the middle four wing, which also has a heavy load capacity.

"$500 million? Such an offer is too high, unless you can transfer the code of the fire control program of this missile, it is absolutely impossible for the UAE to accept such a price, the UAE really needs the ability to have sufficient autonomous control and use of combat weapons, not to buy a bunch of broken copper and iron that they can't use at will. ”

The words are sharp, but the fact is that for the missile's fire control program code, this is actually the key to whether a missile can be used smoothly, and the importance of its technology can also be seen.

The digital fighter is really good, bringing a new ergonomic optimization to the third generation aircraft, and it can also greatly improve the combat capability of the fighter. This brings all sorts of benefits, but it also brings a greater degree of technological monopoly, as in the case of the current situation, where even the UAE cannot control a small fire control software program, which does sound frustrating.

Of course, what the UAE will not say is that the United States also did not publish any weapons program codes for the United Arab Emirates in the previous F-14E/F fighter procurement contract signed by the United Arab Emirates and the United States.

However, as an old fritter who has been mixed in the international aviation manufacturing industry for many years, the current AVIC Southwest has long been clear about the unspoken rules of the international industry.

As the most respected in-service chief designer in Hongdu, although he does not participate in the design of missiles, he will never be ambiguous when it is time to fight for interests, and he immediately shakes his head, especially for the UAE's request to get the fire control code, it is even more almost laughable.

"This is not good, absolutely impossible, the fire control code is the core technology of the missile, the reason why it is not open is to ensure the safety of customers in the future, and the high-altitude ballistic anti-ship missile can not be used with other fighters, it can only play a miraculous effect when it is carried by stealth fighters, so it is useless for you to take the fire control code."

For the unreasonable demands of customers, on the one hand, it must be strongly rejected, and on the other hand, it is necessary to explain a little why it is not satisfied, after all, if the funds and projects brought by the UAE can be completed, this is a super order of tens of billions of dollars, which is definitely the largest arms sales order in the history of the Republic.

Seeing this situation, Yang Hui must also nod at the right time to show his support for this matter, some things are really hard to talk about, because these technologies are too important, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be a fool, the future of the Southwest of AVIC can rely on this missile's support, continue to continue its predecessors: J-74, Lightning, Spear and other multi-purpose fighters to play the "ship killer" reputation, and these are the embodiment of the brand effect.

Fortunately, Yang Hui is not blindly tough, since he can't give the UAE the missile fire control code he wants, it is still necessary to reduce some of the asking price: "The fire control code really can't be given, but we can reduce the missile research and development costs borne by the UAE, the original plan of 500 million US dollars can be reduced, and the remaining funding gap will be filled by AVIC Southwest Company itself, and now the specific situation is like this, anyway, you don't have to think about the fire control code." ”

Sure enough, this is still the result, these arms dealers really cover their own technology tightly enough, and they went to the Americans to throw money and failed to get the fire control code, and now the same situation is here in the southwest of AVIC, it is really difficult!

sighed silently in his heart, and after summing it up in his heart, he still gave a number: "300 million US dollars, you can not provide the fire control code, but in this case, the UAE can only provide 300 million US dollars in missile research and development funds, and the remaining gaps are all up to you to figure out by yourself, and you must also ensure that the follow-up research and development process will not be discontinued halfway, and ensure that the fighters and missiles are delivered on time." ”

My ......

This UAE is really awesome, the original $500 million project was able to directly cut $200 million because Hong didn't provide a fire control code, what does this mean? This means that the price of the fire control code can be as high as 200 million US dollars, and the UAE oil tyrant can really bargain. Or is it that for local tyrants, every bargain is in US dollars?

No, Yang Hui's careful liver will definitely not be able to stand it if it goes on like this, touching his chest with one hand and holding the table with the other: "300 million US dollars? This is absolutely impossible, even if we don't provide a fire control code, but the price can't be reduced so much, we can reduce it by up to $30 million, and this is already our floor price! ”

Reduced by 30 million US dollars, this is not a small amount, now the JF-17 lightning fighter can not be sold at this price, it is expected that the JF-17C / D "Lightning 2" fighter under development is likely to touch this price threshold, that is to say, Yang Hui directly reduced the price of a standard third-generation fighter this time, to say that it is not painful is absolutely lying.

Continuing to bargain, during the period, Hongdu also repeatedly approached the company's missile project research and design department, and also made a detailed plan for the various expenses required for the research and development of missiles, and even pulled out the project expenses when Hongdu developed inertial-satellite-guided bombs before, but Yang Hui knew at a glance that the account was fake, and the project was as high as 700 million US dollars in research and development funds, which was obviously inconsistent with the previous 180 million US dollars spent on the project review of the head office.

But at this time, it doesn't matter what to do so much, it doesn't matter if you falsely report some data to the outside world, as long as you can get the money, Yang Hui will turn a blind eye, as long as the company's internal project audit does not engage in these small actions.

...........

"420 million, at most 420 million US dollars in research and development funds for you, after all, you can sell this missile to other countries in the future, and the money you make at that time will be your own, and now the UAE can't invest too much, we haven't even talked about stealth fighters yet, plus I don't have the corresponding funding authority this time, so I can't do more."

After two days of long-term tug-of-war, the two sides exhausted all kinds of methods, and finally reached an intention on the issue of missiles for the time being, but it is very embarrassing that the current Sino-Fourth fighter project has nothing to do with the UAE, which is really enough.

But as long as you have money, it's not easy to get in a relationship? Anyway, now is the time for the fourth project to swallow a lot of gold, the first prototype of various processing and manufacturing work has begun, the follow-up at least 5-10 prototypes need to be manufactured, intermediate test flights, improvements, tests are required a lot of money, Hongdu is now absolutely the master of the money.

On the morning of the third day when these oil buns arrived in Hongdu, that is, in the middle of February, it happened to be the Lunar New Year of the Republic, but Yang Hui had no way to go to the New Year, after all, this large group of oil buns was stationed in Hongdu, and now they are waiting for the stars, the moon, and the fourth.

"Let's go, everyone has heard of the fourth middle school before, but after arriving in Hongdu, there is no regret that they can see the real plane for the first time, which is indeed a little regrettable, so today I will take you to see the "real thing" of the aircraft, a real fourth-generation stealth fighter, a new generation of military fighters in service in no country in the world. ”

In 96, the ATF project was still under development, and although the F-22 had been roughly formed, various test flights were still underway, so there was indeed no stealth fighter in the real sense in the world. (PS: F-117, a miscellaneous fish that does not have any mobility, please roll out of the way)

At this time, the fourth secondary school has actually begun the construction of the first prototype, but the construction work is only in the early stages, and now even the assembly work has not been completed, and the final assembly is not to mention the use, so it is definitely impossible to see the prototype.

But even if there is no prototype to see, all kinds of middle four models in Hongdu's model factory are indispensable, after all, before a fighter begins to manufacture prototypes, there are absolutely a lot of various models, including the whole model of the whole machine of various scales of middle four, cockpit model, and models of various large parts: main wing, vertical tail, engine......

In fact, all kinds of subtle aerodynamic adjustments must have different models to cooperate with model testing, and even Hong Du himself left three design schemes for the fourth grade before the project began to be detailed, but in the end, it was only done according to the choice of the military.

"These models don't look good, but before the prototype was built, these models were first-hand physical references, and they could provide a lot of help to the R&D personnel, and the most important thing was this one, or..... We should describe it as a model, the last full-scale metal model built before the aircraft began to build a prototype, and it is also the model that bears the greatest resemblance to the prototype. ”

In fact, there is no need for Yang Hui to introduce, when the group walked into this separate room, they were already conquered by this full-size metal model, that's right, this is the stealth fighter I want! Although it is not really invisible to visible light. (To be continued.) )
