As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What woke up the Saudi authorities, especially the core members of the royal family such as Crown Prince Mohammed and Prince Waleed, was actually the Yemeni civil war.

Quite simply, the battlefield is the litmus test of weapons.

Before Yemen's civil war, the royal Saudi army was basically a decoration, and even the occasional friction with its neighbors was only a minor fight.

Because there is no real thing, the underlying problems are not exposed at all.

By the time of the day in Yemen, all these problems were exposed.

Those advanced weapons that have been blown into the sky by the Western media have also fallen from the altar one by one.

The F-15S fighter sold by the United States to Saudi Arabia, known as the most advanced multi-role fighter, is even better than the F-15E used by the US military itself.

The result?

Actual combat proved that this fighter with only one pilot, even when piloted by elite pilots of the Royal Saudi Air Force, was very ineffective.

Very often, the Royal Saudi Air Force prefers to use a smaller EF2000 or even the soon-to-be-retired Tornado ADS for strike missions than to use the F-15S.

As for the M1A2 main battle tank, it is even more foreign on the battlefield in Yemen.

After a number of M1A2s were destroyed by the Houthis, the Royal Saudi Army discovered that the armor of these tanks turned out to be rolled steel plates!

Not to mention the depleted uranium armor used by the US military itself, there is not even composite armor.

Not to mention anti-tank missiles from Iran, even bazookas such as RPGs can penetrate the frontal armor of these main battle tanks.

There are also AH-64D gunships.

Because of the cancellation of a lot of key information equipment, it is difficult for Saudi Arabia's AH-64D to coordinate with ground forces, and the combat efficiency is very low.

In contrast, weapons from China are very reliable.

The PLZ-45 self-propelled howitzer has taken up the girder and is the Royal Saudi Army's most reliable and trusted support firepower.

The Pterodactyl-2 UAV has been highly praised by the Royal Saudi Air Force, and in many cases has replaced fighter aircraft as the most effective air strike platform.

In fact, the most popular among Saudi officers and soldiers is the body armor produced in China.

After sending troops to Yemen, body armor from China saved the lives of at least thousands of Saudi officers and soldiers and became a necessary equipment for the Royal Saudi Army.

Only, what does this have to do with Pakistan?

Wang Dong was very puzzled, but he didn't ask directly, after all, he was facing Prince Waleed, not Saleh, who could joke casually.

"Do you think you're confused?"

"What doubts?"

Waleed smiled and said: "Huaxia not only respects us, but has never let us down, but it is the United States and other Western countries that have repeatedly fooled us and regarded us as the wrongdoer, and only valued our money and oil, not really helping us." So in the past few decades, why have we adhered to a pro-American policy, instead of relying more on China's support and help? ”

"This ......"

"The whip is out of reach."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, but then it occurred to him that Prince Walid was talking about Huaxia.

"Of course, it's different now." Waleed let out a long breath and said, "Thirty years ago, Huaxia only had medium-range ballistic missiles, and they were not advanced. More than 10 years ago, among the arms exported by China, only self-propelled howitzers had excellent performance. Now, Huaxia can provide the world's best main battle tanks, powerful UAVs, and powerful submarines, and Huaxia is the only country outside the United States that has developed a fifth-generation fighter. As for artillery and missiles, China is even more unique in the world. Obviously, we can buy all the weapons and equipment we need in Huaxia, which is not only very advanced in performance, but also very cheap. ”

Wang Dong smiled reluctantly, feeling that Prince Waleed had gone a little too far.

In addition, Huaxia already has a strong enough national and military strength, and is more determined to defend its national interests. Even if it is still inferior to the United States, I believe that it will not be long before China will become a great power on an equal footing with the United States, and it will eventually surpass the United States. ”

"Your Highness......"

"Obviously, we can't wait until that day to strengthen our relationship with Huaxia."

Wang Dong let out a long sigh, in his opinion, the topic was too big.

"If we want to strengthen our ties with China, Pakistan is a bridge." Waleed paused slightly. "Do you know why Saleh was sent to Islamabad at this time? To tell the truth, Saleh brought 500 DF762s over, which was a welcome gift. ”

Wang Dong was secretly surprised, his previous guess was indeed correct.

"Of course, this gift is not just for Pakistan."

"Something to do with Huaxia?"

Waleed nodded and said, "If you read the news, you should know that after the Indian Prime Minister went to Washington to visit the President of the United States, something happened in South Asia. ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, this is a petition from India." Without waiting for Wang Dong to speak, Waleed said again, "In this regard, the most dissatisfied is actually Pakistan. ”

"Why?"

"India has signed a contract with Loma for the purchase of F-16 fighter jets, as well as the purchase of production lines, which will come into effect after the approval of the US authorities."

"The main force of the Pakistan Air Force is the F-16."

"That's right, and India is buying the latest model of the F-16, which surpasses the Pakistani F-16 in terms of performance. When India completely eats this kind of fighter jet, the main fighter plane that Pakistan bought for billions of dollars will become an ornament, which is equivalent to being put on display by the United States. ”

Wang Dong sighed, not knowing what to say.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that Pakistan's defense minister has spoken to Crown Prince Mohammed on the phone and mentioned that a batch of new fighter jets will be purchased in the near future, and it is likely to be Huaxia's JF-20, that is, the export version of the J-10B, hoping that we can provide assistance."

"Far water can't quench your thirst."

"That's not the problem, after all, India can't get F-16 fighter jets right away, and even if everything goes well, it's a few years away."

"That's ......"

"Of course, the best outcome would be for India to abandon the idea of purchasing F-16s. It's just that, at the moment, it's almost impossible. The point is that what India wants to buy is actually the F-35A, and the purchase of the F-16 is just to have an in-depth understanding of the US-made fighter and prepare for the establishment of a support system for US-made equipment. Of course, it is also to strengthen relations with the United States and pave the way for future purchases of F-35A. ”

"So, India is deliberately doing things to win the favor of the United States?"

"You can say that, but it's not the point."

"So what's the key?"

Waleed smiled before saying, "That's for the future, and it doesn't make much sense to talk about it now." I came to you just to find out, how quickly can you fulfill the additional orders from the Department of Defense and can you provide after-sales services, including training? ”

Now, Wang Dong understood.

Obviously, the Saudi Ministry of Defense not only gave DF762 assistance to Pakistan, but also spent money to hire personnel from the company "Angu" to do something.
