Chapter 429: Technology Sale

No one will doubt the advanced aviation technology of the United States, even the Soviet Union is aiming at the United States, and what the Americans have, they will do accordingly, and they will surpass the Americans in terms of performance, and the Americans are the formulators of technical indicators.

In addition to the familiar, there are other unfamiliar aircraft, for example, there is an airplane, at first glance, it is a modified F-16, but the shape of the wing is so special that it is like a scimitar!

After getting off the plane, while watching, the old Arslan and his party entered an office building, and in a large conference room, some officials of the US Air Force, some officials of the big American airlines, were already waiting for their arrival there, and their goal was only one.

"We are very interested in your research in the field of stealth of fighter aircraft, and we hope to share the results of these research with you." After sitting down, the representative of the American side, the commander of the US Air Force Equipment Command, Air Force General David, said cordially.

As the commander of the equipment command, mainly responsible for various equipment of the army, David has a more advanced sense of air combat, and knows that the future sky must belong to stealth fighters. And now, the task of the US Air Force is to develop this kind of stealth fighter on its own, and at the same time, block the road for others to develop stealth fighters!

Even in later generations, the United States did this, an F-35 project, almost the whole of Western Europe was pulled, and they did not get any technology, and their own domestic military aircraft development technology, on the contrary, was delayed, the only role. It is to share the research and development expenses with the United States, and finally share the sales pressure, and the countries provide funds. Countries order a batch of fighters.

Now that the United States has discovered this kind of sign of Pakistan's development of stealth fighters, it is natural to find a way to get Pakistan's technology over, and at the same time, for such friendly countries, they want to play a shared way. to stifle Pakistan's fighter development.

"Sharing results?" Old Arslan asked, "How to share?" What are the benefits? ”

The vigilance of old Arslan is, of course, very high, and the main thing is that if the Americans let it out now. The technical information on the Pakistani side has not yet been prepared, and now it must be delayed for a while.

"We, the United States, are now working on a fourth-generation aircraft. The main contractors are Lockheed and Northrop. Now, the representatives of these companies are here, and you can choose to join any of their companies, share all your information on stealth, and at the same time, participate in the development of our fourth-generation fighter in the United States. David said: "Our fourth-generation fighter will have outstanding performance, such as. Supersonic cruising capability, which can be turned on without afterburner. It will be able to carry out supersonic flight, stealth performance, will be stealthy on the opponent's radar, super maneuverability, the engine has a thrust vector function, can make a variety of maneuvers, and over-the-horizon precision strike capabilities. If you participate in the development, then we will export this fighter to your country after the successful development of this kind of fighter. The development of a fighter plane requires a considerable investment of funds, and I am afraid that you will not be able to afford the development of such an advanced fighter for the time being. ”

Old Arslan looked at this four-star general in the United States, in the United States, the lieutenant general is three stars, the general is four stars, and the five-star general, which is equivalent to a marshal, is a title that only exists in wartime, and now, four stars is already the highest rank in the army. The person in front of him is a veteran-level person in the US military.

The credibility of such a person's speech is almost zero! Fooling Pakistan into joint research and development with them, how could the Americans be so kind!

Instead of joint development, it is better to think of another way! Old Arslan's mind suddenly had an idea, he said to Admiral David in front of him: "We in Pakistan, if we want to fully develop a new fighter, we will encounter a lot of problems, we only have a breakthrough in stealth technology, and the new fighter, stealth performance is only one of the aspects, supersonic cruise, need an engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of more than 10, we Pakistan is completely unable to manufacture." Therefore, our stealth technology can only be a foreshadowing, but sharing technology with you, we are afraid that we are not able to provide any technology in other aspects, so we are more willing to sell our current research and development results than sharing technology. ”

Sell! As soon as old Arslan's words came out, everyone was shocked.

This stealth technology is very secret, and they never thought that Pakistan would sell these technologies.

"Then you sold these technologies, will you still use them yourself?" A Boeing agent asked.

"How do we use it?" Old Arslan asked: "We develop our own fourth-generation aircraft?" Do you think we have the ability? ”

Old Arslan's words reassured the other party, in case Pakistan sells these technologies to the United States, and continues to do it secretly, I am afraid that it is not in the interests of the United States, and now, the old Arslan is very realistic, does Pakistan have the ability?

In terms of stealth technology, there is a certain progress, it is possible, but the development of an aircraft, that is a whole system, any one of the subsystems, is enough for Pakistan to have a headache.

"And how are you going to sell it?" A Lockheed personnel asked, their current YF-22, which is also in the design stage, if it can get the results of Pakistan, it will be a great promotion.

"How to sell, we haven't figured it out yet." "I'll have to go back and report to our president, and at the same time, companies are welcome to come up with their own purchases," Arslan said. ”

This guy is cunning! Suddenly, in the minds of everyone present, such an idea popped up again, this Pakistani is really interesting, everything can be measured by money! It is said that Pakistani President Hammad is the best at doing business, and now, their research and development results can also be packaged and sold!

The reason for not proposing a sale method here is to allow major companies to compete below, especially Lockheed and Northrop, no one knows what the price offered by the other party, and at the same time, everyone will be afraid that the other party will buy these technologies, so that in the end, the price sold in Pakistan will be much higher than the value of these technologies themselves, and there is no second choice for major companies.

Old Arslan didn't know that these people doubted him like this in their hearts, old Arslan swore to God, absolutely no such thoughts, he did this just to delay time.

After all, reducing the weight of the aircraft by even one kilogram will bring about an improvement in the performance of the aircraft, especially the fourth-generation aircraft, which needs stealth, and the aerodynamic design of the fuselage should compromise with stealth, so it will be more necessary to consider weight reduction.

The people of Lockheed and Northrop have already begun to think in their hearts about how to defeat their opponents and turn the technology that Pakistan is developing now into the technology of their own company.

David didn't expect Pakistan to make such a choice and sell such a core technology, which is okay, at least it shows that Pakistan has self-knowledge and will not independently develop any fourth-generation aircraft. Even the Soviet Union, the third-generation aircraft has just succeeded, and the fourth-generation aircraft is still far away.

"The Pakistan Air Force has the most experience in fighting with the Soviet Union, and you, as the chief of the General Staff of the Pakistan Air Force, must have a lot of experience, and we very much hope that you can tell us about the experience accumulated by your country, which will be of great help to us in developing the next generation of fighters." Admiral David changed the subject in time.

Although the Tomcat fighter is a naval one, however, many tactics can be used, and the biggest enemy of the US Air Force, which is also the Soviet Union, needs some advice from the Pakistani side.

"Electronic technology is the key to determining future wars." Old Arslan knew that the next topic was useless, but he also had to brag to these people in front of him, so that they knew how to fight, of course, Old Arslan's experience was actually the consensus of everyone.

"Medium-range air-to-air missiles that can fly correctly in a complex electromagnetic interference environment, especially the active guidance head, will be in an advantageous position in battle, and the large off-axis combat bomb will make close-range combat more dangerous, and we expect that in the future air combat, close-range combat will be less and less, and in this kind of battle, life and death almost depend on their luck." Old Arslan talked eloquently.

After that, the elder Arslan continued to inspect several air bases in the United States and made contact with pilots on the front line of the United States.

Almost the day before the end, the representative of Grumman suddenly said to the elder Arslan: "Your Air Force is the main customer of our Grumman Tomcat fighter, and this time at the Farnboro Air Show, your Air Force has brought the performance of this fighter to the extreme, you have come to the United States, and we Grumman very much welcome you to visit our company." ”

Grumman issued a sincere invitation, and in the face of this invitation, the old Arslan could not refuse, not to mention anything else, just because Pierre, the president of Grumman, was the father-in-law of his own president, Mhammad, and the old Arslan had to go.

So, the last destination of the old Arslan's expedition became Grumman.

This company, the old Arslan has been here more than once, and now, revisiting the old place, is another feeling, back then, the old Arslan took his son, embarked on the road of Pakistan, guarding the Pakistani sky, is the Tomcat fighter produced by this company! (To be continued......)
