Chapter 273: Old Friend

"It's an old friend of ours who is coming this time." Tu Lao's face was also full of excitement: "By the way, Qin Feng, you have also seen it." ”

Yourself, can you still see Pakistanis? In Qin Feng's mind, something suddenly appeared: "Old Tu, is it General Jamal?" ”

Qin Feng still remembers that he went to Egypt with Tu Lao and others to receive the MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighters there, and after receiving them, on the way back to China, he went to Pakistan.

Now, if Qin Feng heard that he had an old friend, it must have been General Jamal he had seen at that time, and Qin Feng was deeply impressed, because General Jamal was also a pilot, and the other party also knew Qin Feng at that time.

"Yes, it's General Jamal, who is now the first deputy chief of staff of the Pakistan Air Force, and this visit to us is specifically to see our plane." Tu Lao said: "Everyone knows, this is an opportunity. ”

That's right, it's an opportunity!

Pakistan's air force is equipped with weapons from three aspects, in the past, mainly American and French fighters, but later, in a war, the arms embargo, at a critical time, China extended a hand of friendship, military aid to Pakistan a large number of Jian-6.

This batch of Jian-6 has achieved fruitful results in the Pakistan Air Force, and they have also made improvements and added US-made Sidewinder missiles to provide missile combat capabilities.

The iron relationship between the two countries began at that time.

Of course, the country has also received a lot of benefits from Pakistan, and Pakistan's military weapons and equipment are open to the country, as long as the other side has them, they can study them.

Now, our own fighter needs to be improved, and the technology of attaching missiles and the like, and the pylons comes from Pakistan, and I learned it from them, and it is very useful.

Now, our own J-7 must be promoted to the international market, and there are already two customers in Egypt and Jordan, and now, a third customer is about to be ushered in.

Everything has to be transformed to a market economy, and planes must be sold! Tu Lao's thinking changed very quickly, and now he has focused on the international market.

Why did General Jamal come to see him? That is interested, since they are interested, it is best to convince them to purchase a batch of our fighters!

Now, the Pakistan Air Force still has a large number of J-6 fighters in its hands, and the performance of these fighters is gradually falling behind, and it is time for them to upgrade their fighters.

"Our main task is to introduce the excellent performance of this aircraft to General Jamal, and it is best to let General Jamal be tempted to buy a batch." Tu Lao said: "General Jamal has already been to Shenyang, and after seeing the Jianba there, he came to us with him." ”

Domestic weapons are also open to Pakistan, you know, J-8 is an extremely secret project, and now the international intelligence system does not know the existence of this aircraft, but it has been shown to General Jamal.

"They won't take a fancy to J-8." Qin Feng said.

Qin Feng is very confident that the Pakistan Air Force is a tenacious air force that has been trained by the West, they like to fight alone, they have a strong sense of war, and their needs for fighters are also very clear.

The kind of interceptor plane of the Jian-8 is not what the Pakistan Air Force needs, their territory is limited, and they do not need high-altitude and high-speed fighters, they need fighters with good fighting performance, and they also need to have a modern fire control system.

"Yes, we also think it's impossible, so we have to seize the opportunity this time and try to sell our Jian-7 as much as possible, if this contract is negotiated again, we can embark on the track of a virtuous circle." Tu Lao continued.

Now, the contract with the Jordanian Air Force is still pressing itself tightly, and once the progress here is delayed, maybe it will breach the contract and pay compensation, if the Pakistan Air Force also orders a batch, in this way, even if it is compensation to Jordan, the funds are enough.

Moreover, Pakistan is a big customer, if you replace the J-6 fighter one-to-one, it will definitely be a huge market, you know, Pakistan has ten J-6 fighter squadrons.

(Of course, it is impossible to completely reequip, Pakistan's last J-6 fighter squadron was not reequipped until 1997, and finally the shotgun was replaced with an F-16.)

"It can be said that this is a major export prospect, and for this reason, we have also made a decision to develop an export-oriented fighter, codenamed J-7M."

This is different from the previous numbering, which used to be marked with Roman numerals at the end, but now, an English sign is used directly at the end.

After all, one of the official languages of Pakistan is English, and as a former British colony, the elite can speak English, and there is a great advantage to using this as a number.

"We're not just numbers." Qin Feng said on the side, he didn't understand this practice very well, which required superb marketing skills.

In later generations, the local tyrants abandoned the Land Rover, and they were all proud of Tesla, and they often raised the price of hundreds of thousands, which was not bad for the local tyrant's car, but I don't know what Tesla people think, and they actually wanted to reduce the price of this car, which dropped by hundreds of thousands all at once, so that the faces of those local tyrants suddenly couldn't hang up, and they protested one after another, asking for continued price increases.

In fact, Tesla doesn't understand marketing, as long as it changes its name and lowers the price, it can keep the pretending psychology of those local tyrants.

Now, changing a number, but it is of great significance, this is a sign that the 132 factory has entered the market competition, and they will focus on the export market!

"Yes, of course, not only to change the number, we will add all the results we have achieved on the J-7." Tu Lao said: "Make it a star product of an export fighter." ”

Qin Feng nodded: "Tu Lao, increase the auxiliary fuel tank, increase the range, increase the external capacity, and the current advanced avionics, all of which are the direction of the development of the times, I suggest that our introduction tomorrow focus on the introduction of avionics." ”

Tu Lao nodded: "Yes, this is also our opinion, Qin Feng, you are a test pilot and can speak English, so tomorrow's reception will mainly be carried out by you." ”

Qin Feng nodded, he won't fool people, he just told the truth, due to technical limitations, he can only tinker with the foundation of the MiG-21, but he will definitely make this fighter a star fighter!
