"If we had invited engineers from Northrop and General Dynamics to work together, it would have been very efficient, right?" Qusay asked. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧ 5

Cusai knew that all of Marcel's words were pretexts, above board excuses, because it was impossible for him to say that the Mirage 4000 was a French fighter and would never be equipped with an American F404 engine, so he could only find various excuses from the side.

But Marcel didn't expect that His Excellency Cusay would have such a great energy, and by uniting the two companies, the technical problems of replacing the F404 engine with the Mirage 4000 would be solved quickly.

But in this case, is this fighter still developed by the French Duli? It's equipped with an American-made engine! France's proudest place is all kinds of weapons and equipment, all of which are independently developed, nuclear weapons, missiles, nuclear submarines, tanks, fighters, France's withdrawal from NATO, the defense industry, completely based on independent research and development, so, although the M53 engine is backward, but it is the pride of the French aviation industry.

Northrop and General Dynamics are very happy to equip the Mirage 4000 with American-made engines, because although this kind of engine production line has been established in Iraq, the raw materials required for the engine still have to be imported from the United States, and if Iraq allows the Mirage 4000 to be equipped with this kind of engine, then there will be a greater amount of income, and of course they are very happy. ≦≧

At this time, the F404 engine was already equipped with Boeing's F/A-18 "Hornet", Lockheed's 7 "Nighthawk" bomber, Northrop's F-20 "Tiger Shark" fighter, in addition to these, Sweden's Saab JAS-39 "Gripen", Singapore's A/TA4SU "Super Skyhawk" attack aircraft, and even the planned Sè Column Aviation Industry Agile C2 fighter and India's LCA fighter are planned to use this engine.

This is an excellent engine, since the Iraqi F-20 is already equipped, then. Equipping Iraq with a new warplane would have no political or commercial obstacles.

The only dissatisfaction, of course, is that Dassault is very reluctant. In addition to causing them financial losses, this will also damage their self-esteem, although they know that their fighter is indeed not powerful enough. ≦≧

"If you work with them jointly, then. The xing energy of our fighter. They will find out. Marcel hesitated, then continued.

"If you don't change the engine, then. We have cancelled all the follow-up orders for the Phantom 4000. Qusay said, he said that. The element of intimidation is very large, after all, the production lines have already been imported, and if he says that he will not produce it, then Iraq's own losses will also be very large.

The only difference is that Iraq can afford this loss, but Dassault cannot afford to lose the order. If the Iraqi Air Force is not equipped, this will have a great negative impact on the subsequent export of the Mirage 4000.

"If the engine is changed, our Iraqi Air Force will order another 20 aircraft, and we will also sell this fighter to countries in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, we can have at least 40 additional orders, as well as Kuwait, Qatar and other countries. ≦≧," Cusai said.

Hearing that there was still a large order, Marcel's mind began to think quickly. Mirage 4000, in addition to Iraqi equipment. Their marketing to other countries has so far yielded no results, however, Iraq has a great influence on other countries in the Middle East, if under the recommendation of Iraq, this fighter can be successfully equipped to these countries, although it is produced on the production line in Iraq, but Dassault can also obtain a lot of profits, far more than the profits of changing more than 100 engines, and, in cooperation with American companies, you can also understand the technology of this engine, for the development of French military engines, There are also great benefits.

Although Cusay couldn't see Marcel's expression, he could guess Marcel's inner thoughts at the moment, and he must have weighed in his heart whether it was worth Dassault.

"You also know that the Saudi Air Force is preparing to buy American fighters, if Saudi Arabia turns to buy the Mirage 4000, you must be able to think of the consequences, right?" Qusay has already set out all the conditions, and now he is talking about adding more fire: "Mirage 4000, this kind of heavy air superiority fighter, is not something that any country can afford to equip." ≦≧”

Qusay's last words obviously played a very good role, this kind of fighter, not any country can afford to equip it, it must be a rich country with strong financial resources, except for these oil-producing countries in the Middle East, where will he go to find Kaizi? Even the French Air Force itself is reluctant to equip it.

Moreover, the Mirage 4000 defeated and obtained the order from Saudi Arabia, which is also one thing that can make Dassault hype, Marcel has made up his mind at this moment.

The conditions offered by Iraq were too lucrative, and he had no reason to refuse, and Marcel was about to withdraw from Dassault, which he had set up with his own hands, and handed over to his next office, bringing a large number of orders for his next appointment, although these orders were produced in Iraqi factories, but the export of certain necessary components for the support of the company, still made Dassault profitable until 87 years. Moreover, after that, the modification of these fighters made Dassault make a fortune.

"Okay, we Dassault will try our best to solve this problem and cooperate with the United States to install the F404 engine on our Mirage 4000 fighter. ≦≧" Marcel finally agreed.

Qusay showed a smile on his face, in this way, it will be much more convenient for the logistics and maintenance of the fighter, and the M53 engine of the Mirage 4000, this heart problem, will also be successfully solved. And down, there is another problem, that is, advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles!

Now Iraq has been able to produce fighter planes, and is working hard to increase the proportion of localization, until finally, all parts must be produced independently in Iraq, which is a huge project, which will lead to the improvement of Iraq's entire industrial level, and will also increase a lot of employment opportunities.

However, until now, the missiles used by Iraqi fighters have been completely blank, the AIM-7 used by the F-20, and the Super Matra 530 missiles used by the Mirage 4000, these medium-range missiles were completely bought by Iraq at a high price.

Fortunately, the intensity of the current air combat is already very low, and if the Iranian Air Force returns to the pre-war level, then Iraq's current air-to-air missiles may have been almost consumed.

Moreover, there is also a potential danger that if, like Iran, it is stuck in the neck in wartime, Iran's Immortal Bird missiles, which have already been consumed a lot in the first year, have led to the dilemma of Iran's powerful Tomcat fighters having to use only Sparrow missiles and even Sidewinder missiles.

If any problems arise in the future, if Iraq affects US interests, then as long as the United States no longer provides Iraq with Sparrow air-to-air missiles, its existing stockpiles will not be able to withstand too much consumption. Although the F-20 has been opened to the weapon interface and can carry Matra-530 missiles in an emergency, Qusay is not satisfied with the existing missiles in Iraq.

Whether it is the Matra 530 missile or the AIM-7E Sparrow air-to-air missile, it is guided by semi-active radar, and this kind of missile cannot do a large maneuver in the whole process of the carrier aircraft, otherwise, the missile will not receive the radar wave of the target that the carrier aircraft sends and will be unlocked.

In future air combat, the active air-to-air missile is the trump card, although limited by the size of the missile itself, can only be actively guided in the final stage, however, this also gives the carrier aircraft the advantage of recovering Ziyou in the final stage. At present, the AIM-120 missile of the American Raytheon company is about to begin the first test shè, and in future air combat, this air-to-air missile will be a great threat.

If Iraq wants to catch up with the development of the times and gain an advantageous position in future wars, then, from now on, it is necessary to take into account active air-to-air missiles!

After collecting information from many sources and combining the knowledge of later generations, Qusay finally locked his eyes on the United Kingdom again, where there is a sky flash missile that surpasses medium-range missiles such as the Sparrow, Super Matra 530, and R27 of the same period!

This missile developed by the British Aerospace Corporation is based on the AIM-7E-2 that was in service in the United States that year, and was finally successfully developed in 1978, and is the world's earliest third-generation radar-guided air-to-air missile with the ability to lower the shè, because of the use of the world's first medium-range air-to-air missile developed by the Marconi company using a single-pulse semi-active radar seeker, it has better anti-electronic jamming ability and guidance degree than the cone scanning seeker adopted by AIM-7E. Even compared with the AIM-7F, which was only put into service in 1980, it has an advantage in key XING capabilities such as anti-electronic jamming ability, guidance jing, and kill probability against low-altitude targets, and the maneuvering XING is comparable, only slightly inferior in the reliability of electronic components and the maximum SHEN, because the AIM-7E rocket engine is still used, so the power SHINING range has not been improved.

Moreover, now, Sweden, which also has its own defense industry, is also aiming at this missile, and the Swedish Defense Materials Administration has begun to study the use of an active radar seeker for the "Sky Flash" and develop the "Active Sky Flash". The main research work was undertaken by Saab Power, while British Aerospace was selected as the sub-contractor to provide the main financial support.

I have to find Sarah! Cusai has a bit of a headache, and the debts he owes always have to be repaid, and the emotional debts are the most difficult to repay.

Just when Qusay was thinking about his own military development, in the world, between the United States and the Soviet Union, there was already a lot of fighting. To be continued
