Chapter 122: Open Interfaces

The fighter jets exported by the United States to any country have not opened the weapon programming interface, the fire control system, which is the secret of the fighter jet, and when they heard the other party say this, Fred and Kashin seemed to have been poured cold water, which is absolutely impossible!

Originally, they reported a lot of confidence, but seeing such a warm welcome from the other party during the day today, the two thought that things would take a turn for the better, but they didn't expect that the questions raised by the other party made it difficult for them to accept.

However, Fred always had a feeling that he had never encountered in any other country to sell, how could the other party make such a request?

Some countries want to keep prices down as much as possible, and some countries want to improve their ability as much as possible, but no country will put forward the requirements of introducing production lines and mastering the programming interface of the fire control system, but, because of this, Fred feels that the opponent this time makes him admire it even more.

Saddam's son, His Excellency Qusay, is indeed not a thing in the pool.

"Although this fighter is for export, you also know that the radar is the eye of the fighter, and the fire control system is also very secret, and these technologies cannot be leaked. So, if you stick to what you just said, I'm really sorry this time. Fred said.

"I think maybe you misunderstood me." Zhang Feng said: "Your company's F-20 Tiger Shark fighter uses the 1553B data bus, right? I'm just asking for the weapon programming interface, not the secrets of your entire fire control system, as long as I can get enough data from the interface to guide other models of missiles, that's fine. ”

The 1553B data bus, which is definitely a masterpiece of the era, is the avionics integrated system bus, which provides a medium for the exchange of data and information between all systems of the whole aircraft, and the data is processed through the central processing unit. Similar to the LAN of later generations.

For example, the Soviet planes controlled each other, and when launching a missile, it had to press multiple switches, and each system was separate. The American aircraft has cross-linked all the sensors, airspeed, depression angle, radar, and optoelectronic equipment of the whole aircraft, which greatly improves the efficiency.

Zhang Feng said these words, because he was very familiar with these things in later generations, and China did not use this bus technology until the J-8-2 fighter, which was a model of peace.

Hearing Zhang Feng mention the 1553b data bus, Fred and Kashin were stunned, they originally wanted to simply mention the secret of the fire control system, but who knows, but they ran into an expert, that is, a senior engineer of Sukhoi or MiG, and there are very few people who know their kind of data bus.

How can this Lord Qusay, know everything?

Since the other party is an expert, the two had to explain in detail: "That's true, our weapon programming interface only needs to collect confidence in the 1553b data bus, but this is still confidential, even if we open it, it is difficult to guarantee that you will be able to use it, as far as I know, the people who can master these technologies are excellent talents from major aviation companies, in Iraq, I'm afraid not, right?" ”

"I don't have to worry about it, as long as I can get this." Zhang Feng said.

Looking at Iraq, there is indeed no such talent, but only if you have money, you can dig a few back, and get these things, you can get rid of dependence on the United States, Zhang Feng has his own insistence, between the big powers, there are no eternal friends, when did he make a bad deal with the United States, the other party does not provide Sparrow air-to-air missiles, how can he let these planes conduct air battles?

Zhang Feng did this also to prepare for the future, using the F-20 to guide the Soviet missiles, which is unnecessary and incompatible, but it is still very likely to guide the missiles imported from Europe, such as the French Matra Super 530 missile or the later Mika medium-range missile.

"Okay, we'll talk about it." Fred said: "Your Excellency Qusay, I really didn't expect you to know so much about our fighters. ”

Of course I understand, otherwise, how would I have put on such a big show to welcome you! Zhang Feng thought to himself, not only understand, but also very thoughtful, if the production line can really be introduced, it has to be improved.

The F-20 Tiger Shark, whose fate in history is so miserable, is that in addition to the company's policy, the aircraft itself also has shortcomings.

First, due to the limited airframe, the fuel is insufficient and the combat radius is short, which, like the F-16, can be increased by increasing the conformal fuel tank, however, the maneuver will be slightly reduced.

Second, the price is high, when the F-20 was developed, it was expected that the price would be half of the F-16, but the surname could reach 80% of the F-16. And the final selling price, due to the company's pricing strategy, ended up being similar to the F-16 price. However, this price is not too big a problem for me. Anyway, no matter how much you toss yourself, it is impossible to buy an F-16, let alone introduce a production line.

"Because we really want to introduce a main air supremacy fighter." Zhang Feng said with a smile: "That's why we can sit here and talk about the introduction." ”

Then, Zhang Feng changed his words: "In addition to the F-20 Tiger Shark, Dassault is said to be working on a new Mirage 2000, and I am also very interested. ”

Zhang Feng mentioned the Mirage 2000 intentionally or unintentionally, naturally he wanted to tell the other party that although you saw that Iraq needed fighter jets, it was not your family that could export fighter jets, and there was no need to hang yourself from this tree.

Hearing this, Kashin said a little anxiously: "The Mirage F1 equipped by your country is not suitable for water and soil, in the desert environment, the Phantom machine is not suitable, our fighter has a strong adaptation surname, and the development place takes into account the influence of desert wind and sand, so our fighter is the most suitable, and the engine of the Mirage 2000 is a single-rotor engine, which is very backward and absolutely not suitable for Iraq." ”

Zhang Feng knew that the other party was telling the truth, but it was not entirely right, and there were other factors to introduce a fighter jet, such as politics.

"France is our traditional arms exporting country, and our air force already has a certain amount of experience in the use of French-made fighter jets, and moreover, France rarely embargoes arms sales, and it is more appropriate to conduct military transactions with France." Zhang Feng said.

"Don't worry, Lord Qusay, I'll do my best to get our deal done." Fred said.

"As long as those Jews don't jump out and make trouble." Kashin muttered a little, the export line, and the interface, if those Jews don't make a fuss, then hell will it be.

Although the voice was small, Zhang Feng could hear it clearly, he suddenly remembered the Israeli general who was captured by him, with this person in hand, if those Jewish forces jumped out to make trouble, then use this general in exchange, see if they agree! Finding the right position for this captive, Zhang Feng even felt like a blessing in disguise.
