Chapter 579: The live-fire drill begins

Chinese people like to sign a memorandum of intent to purchase as an order, the military factory in the past two days, is signed a number of such agreements, there are people from the northern military industry to help, such a thing can not be hidden from Wu Zhonghui, as soon as Pu met, he said congratulations to Xu Ziling again and again.

For such an agreement, Xu Ziling is really not too happy, in his opinion, did not pay a deposit, only wrote on the document with the intention to buy, this really does not have much meaning, when signing these documents, he did not come forward, it was all met by Nie Yunming, afterwards he studied it, ten documents, eighty orders can finally reach a deal If there are thirty planes, it would be good, but for Wu Zhonghui's enthusiasm, of course he would not say that he didn't care about such a thing, because if he said so, There is really a suspicion of pretending to be 13.

What's more, the base price of 40 million US dollars for a Thunder and 30 million transport planes can add up to 30 orders, such an achievement can no longer be described as "good" for them, a "little-known" company in the world.

In the final analysis, these agreements were signed so quickly in a few days, and the people of the northern military industry really played a very important role, and the military factory had conducted relevant training for the people who came this time before departure, and there were also personnel who participated in the air show, but for most of them who came into contact with this kind of thing for the first time, it was inevitable that they were a little inconsiderate, and it was the people of the northern military industry who helped them so that the military factory could do these things well.

With such a foundation, after a meal, the guests and hosts were happy, and afterwards Xu Ziling knew that the consumption this time had reached 100,000, and he didn't feel any heartache.

The air show can show the maneuverability of the aircraft very well, but for the military representatives and arms dealers of various countries, the most important thing is the live-fire exercise, because an armed aircraft has the best maneuverability, but if the combat effectiveness is not very good, it really does not have much meaning, is it used to escape when used on the battlefield?

Of course, the maneuverability to a certain extent absolutely its combat effectiveness, if the maneuverability is not good, the combat effectiveness should not be expected to be how high it can be, the first day of the air show, the Red Star only dispatched them a "Thunder Dragon", this is the only one in the entire air show to participate in the performance of the manufacturer, compared to other manufacturers more than three formations, although the number is a little small, but the first heavy armed helicopter in the mysterious country of the East, better than the "Apache", these names, The inclusiveness of the people is clearly taken to the extreme, and I have never heard anyone say that they are too stingy to come out with a helicopter to perform.

In addition to professionals, there are also military enthusiasts, these people can naturally judge how maneuverable this aircraft is from the performance, Li Zhihua and Zhang Xianyang under the training of Lao Wang, and Lao Wang specially found an old classmate who was engaged in professional aerobatics to give them a few lessons, and in more than a month, they were proficient in the "Thunder Dragon" to the extreme, and during the air show, the two were really coquettish.

When it came out, it was an ultra-low-altitude rapid flight, and then it was a high-altitude variety of rolls that could only be done on fixed-wing aircraft, somersaults, and after the last one, there was a somersault that only "Apache" could do. The media and the Internet have given the "Thunder" the reputation of the world's first helicopter maneuverability.

In this situation, in the eyes of professionals, they naturally looked forward to the next live-fire drill, and when Nie Yunjie and the people from Egypt came back from dinner, Xu Ziling learned from him that since the end of the air show, there were a few more countries that had contact with them, which made him quite happy in his heart.

The next day was a live-fire exercise, and it was also the last day of the air show, and the place of the drill was in the uninhabited desert of nearly 40 kilometers south of Dubai, so everyone got up very early on this day, and Xu Ziling came to the exhibition center early in the morning.

The helicopter flew from the country, passing through several countries, so the live ammunition they brought was packed, not directly mounted on the plane, after coming to Dubai, all the live ammunition was collected and kept by the organizers, and it will not be reissued until today, for safety, missiles and artillery ammunition are packed with high-strength alloy safes, and the group of people, the password is only Xu Ziling has, and after receiving his own things from the organizers, Xu Ziling opened the box and commanded the staff to load the ammunition.

It wasn't until all this was done that he got in the car and headed to the drill site.

The place is a ground range of the Dubai Air Force, there is a highway directly reached, the car out of the city, into the eyes is a yellow, which has been staying in the city for the past few days they finally realized that Dubai is a city in the desert, after half an hour of travel, the group arrived at the ground.

The place is guarded by the army, after inspection, everyone enters the inside, the biennial Dubai Air Show, each time there will be a live-fire drill link, and the venue, each time will choose here, has experienced many times, the base here has also established a perfect set of related facilities, suitable for all kinds of aircraft to take off and land the runway, trapezoidal auditorium and so on.

Whether it is a manufacturer, or a visitor, the location is arranged by the organizer, perhaps it is the excellent performance of the military factory in the past few days, when Xu Ziling they found their position, they actually found that they were arranged in the front row, it stands to reason that the position of the front row is generally those more important exhibitors, such as, Martin, Boeing, it is impossible to have Xu Ziling, their first time exhibitors, which makes a group of people a little "flattered".

After each of them made preparations, the live-fire drill officially began, and the first to come, of course, was the fighter jets. When it comes to fighter jets, it is worth saying that at this air show, Martin once again let the F-22 participate in the exhibition, which is different from the previous just publicity, this time the F-22 was actually released by the US government to restrict export sales, so in the live-fire exercise, the F-22 also participated.

The year before last, at the air show in Paris, Xu Ziling got the F-22 plan, so this time he didn't go to it many times, and he was a little disappointed that he still couldn't see the F-35 at the air show this time.

Compared with the two models, it is impossible to say who is stronger and who is weak, F-22 attaches importance to medium and long-range air supremacy, while F-35 focuses on medium and short range, stealth performance may not be as good as F-22, but in terms of close combat, F-35 is a little stronger, and it is mainly positioned in carrier-based models, and F-22 land-based fighters, there is not much comparison.

"Flying Eagle" C-type carrier-based aircraft, Xu Ziling believes that it will never lose to the F-35 in various performances, but after all, it is born from the F-22, from the positioning point of view, they still have a problem of starting point, if they can get the F-35, he believes that the optimized plan is definitely better than the current "Flying Eagle" C-type, but unfortunately, the Mi people hide the F-35 like a baby, and they don't participate in any air show at all, so he really can't start.

Not every manufacturer will participate in the live-fire exercise, because in the manufacturers, most of them are not brand-new models, they have been exhibited before, and there have been live-fire drills, so the participants in this exercise today are the F-22, which has never been shown in front of the public, or a brand-new model like the "Thunder".

These things were arranged by the organizers a long time ago, and of course there are exceptions, just like the J-10 of the northern military industry, which was arranged by the state directly with the organizers before the launch. Speaking of J-10, this is also a topic of concern at this air show, as we all know, J-10 is the main combat model in China, and the F-22 of the United States, it has always been prohibited from export, but this time it actually came out with an export model, which made many people have to be surprised.

The "Red Star" military industry, which has united to the sudden rise of the army, and then thinks of the F-22 of the people of the United States, everyone is speculating countless times, thinking about whether there is any "story that has to be told" in this, which prompted the United States and the Celestial Empire, two great powers that have never dealt with much, to come up with these.

Of course, more speculation is still against the Celestial Empire, in the eyes of many people, this country has a "Thunder" such a helicopter gunship, and the J-10 has completely relaxed export restrictions, does that mean that they have a more advanced fighter? So, these days, the Celestial Empire has become the hottest topic at this year's Dubai Airshow, whether it is in the exhibition hall or online newspapers, you can see or hear the opinions of some "professional" people at any time.

Of course, Xu Ziling knows about this kind of thing, looking at some remarks on the Internet and newspapers, he can't laugh or cry, Mi Guoren and the decision above, he doesn't know whether Lu Dao is a "coincidence", but he can definitely be sure that their exhibition has definitely not considered these things, but whether it is criticism or praise, he feels that this must be beneficial to the reputation of the military factory, and he has not let the military factory make any remarks, but has been doing their things honestly.

Some things, the more serious you are, the more troublesome it will be, and in the case of a special enterprise with a military factory, in the country, as long as you make something good, the Chinese people will only feel how high their country's technology is, and they will only have a proud mentality, but for some countries and the arms enterprises of those countries, it is not a good thing to see the rise of others, the more famous you are, the more he may look at you unpleasantly, so in this kind of thing, as long as it does not exceed a certain range, Laissez-faire is the best way to deal with it.
