The orange-red sunset sunset dyed the black eagle gold, and the J-11 galloping across the half-burning sky is undoubtedly thrillingly beautiful. A photojournalist from the official media picked up a telephoto lens and took a snap, and even had the names of these pictures in his mind - Huangsha wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken!

Although this verification aircraft is not a Black Hawk that has really reached a combat state, but Qi Yiming made it to fool people, it still has basic flight performance and can perform all kinds of dazzling maneuvers in the air. Especially with its unique front-swept wing stealth shape, it makes people feel handsome and domineering.

There is no doubt that the appearance of the Black Hawk verification machine is like a bombshell smashing into the military circle of the world. For a time, not only those authoritative military intelligence magazines, but also the major mainstream media in the world, have reported on the fourth-generation fighter (American Standard) launched by China, and many experts have also appeared to introduce and explain to people how such a fighter has earth-shaking revolutionary improvements, and what advantages it has over the current mainstream second- and third-generation fighters.

These so-called experts don't really fully understand stealth fighters, and most of the information they get is the things that the host on the scene reads, but the 5S led by China's stealth fighters has also become the standard for people to define a new generation of fighters. This is also what Qi Yiming hopes to see, preemptively setting up rules in front will give people a sense of loftiness, and it will help improve the image of Made in China, not just military products.

Qi Yiming's misleading hope was also quickly apparent, whether it was Northrop or McDonnell Douglas and other companies, they set up a special working group to start studying the fourth-generation fighter launched by China in every detail, hoping to gain useful experience from it to facilitate their ATF planning. This is not the first time that the United States has done such a thing, and in terms of creativity, the United States is actually not the best, but the Americans are good at perfecting a thing and striving for perfection. For example, catapults, STOVL techniques, etc., they are all obtained from other countries, and then they are carried forward.

In later generations, the United States liked to point at China and scold the copycats, but in fact, I don't know how many of the same things Lu Dao has done. The reason why China is responsible is that it is a mentality of "only state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps", and the United States is afraid that China will use the same method to develop better and newer weapons or other products in order to surpass its leading position.

However, at this time, if the United States encounters something worth absorbing and learning from, it is also very willing to plagiarize it. At least after Grumman saw the Chinese Black Hawk, he ran to Lockheed and asked them if they wanted to change the design and choose a forward-swept wing, Grumman had a series of experience and data on the X-29 forward-swept wing, which could be sold to Lockheed cheaply.

U.S. officials also covet China's experience in developing fourth-generation fighters, and now the United States has formed an illusion that China has a great advantage in developing stealth fighters, including the J-7 and J-11, and China has gone far in this project. As a result, not long after the Tianjin International Defense Exhibition ended, the US Department of Defense put forward an exchange plan with China, hoping that the Chinese side would open up a tour of the Black Hawk fighters. The purpose is self-evident, and there must be engineers and bulls who follow those generals to visit, taking this opportunity to steal the division.

This is a later story, at this time, the defense exhibition attracted more attention because of the birth of the Black Eagle, and it was also pushed to a more **** place. During the ensuing exhibition, a number of deals began to be made and were revealed.

First, Algeria signed an agreement with Xifei and PLA to purchase 10 second-hand JH-7A fighter-bombers at a very affordable price of only $16 million each, plus the purchase of weapons systems for ground weapons and air-to-air missiles, the total value of the contract is 2. US$100 million is the first transaction reached by a Chinese company at this exhibition. Then Colombia ordered 12 Z-9 light utility helicopters from China, as well as a part of the army's armored vehicles and engineering vehicles, with a total contract of $40 million.

What is more surprising is that Italy ordered 4 J-8V Skua fighters from China for its newly entered service Garibaldi aircraft carrier, before Italy hoped to purchase the American AV-8B, but in recent years, mainstream critics believe that the FC-8 Skua is more mature in design than AV-8B, especially in air combat, AV-8B is difficult to compete with FC-8. After actual investigation, the Italian military also came to the same conclusion, believing that for the aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft, the bomb load of the two No. 8 fighters is somewhat miserable (about 4 tons), but to carry out the task of fleet air defense, it is obvious that the FC-8 has better maneuverability and air combat operation ability.

Although the number of Italian purchases is relatively small, only 4, if nothing else, after a period of operation, Italy will purchase the next batch of more Skua fighters.

China's weapons are rarely exported to developed countries, and the export of Skua fighters to Italy can be regarded as a very good advertising effect.

In addition, there are a lot of scattered transactions in China, but the amount is not particularly large. The largest orders came from Qi Yiming's "related household countries". In 1990, the defense budget of the Nanyang Republic reached US$5 billion, which was also due to the economic rise of China, which made the Nanyang Republic more financially adequate. Qi Yiming estimates that with more than one million square kilometers of land, abundant resources, and the continuous arrival of new immigrants with labor skills from China, Nanyang Republic has the potential to enter the top 10 economies in the world.

Originally, the Nanyang Republic also had a large amount of weapons and equipment, which Qi Yiming threw there during the war, but it is necessary for a country's army to develop healthily and constantly build and increase. At this exhibition, the Nanyang Defense Force mainly purchased from China, including 120 urban warfare upgraded VT-1A main battle tanks, 260 MIFV infantry fighting vehicles, 48 M-9 (Dongfeng-15) tactical missiles, 18 Z-16 mixed Jianglong heavy helicopters, a submarine support ship and some other scattered equipment, which were delivered in three years, with a total value of 8. $600 million.

The three Eastern European countries that were brought down by Qi Yiming also showed signs of abandoning Soviet-style equipment and using Chinese-style equipment at this exhibition. Yugoslavia was a cooperative way in which NORINCO opened branches and factories in Yugoslavia to produce a series of army vehicles such as the VT-1A for Yugoslavia and other European customers, and Yugoslavia also abandoned its own M-84 tanks in favor of VT-1A main battle tanks. Vodochaudi, a well-known domestic aviation company in Czechoslovakia, announced a cooperation with AVIC, AVIC injected capital into Vodochaudi and held 30% of its shares, and the company will work with AVIC to develop a new Chinese education aircraft on the basis of the L-39 Albatross training aircraft. In addition, Czechoslovakia ordered almost a complete set of army equipment from China, which was called "modernizing military equipment", but most of this was paid for in the form of Chinese loans. It's similar in Romania, where CSSC acquired a large shipyard on its territory for the European market. In addition, Romania also tried to replace an army mechanized brigade with Chinese equipment, which was still paid with a loan.

Privately, the three Eastern European countries will send their T-72s, BMP-1s and other Maozi goods to the crushing crane at the No. 5 base in Yugoslavia, and then exchange them for similar Chinese-made weapons at a low price.

What's more noteworthy is that all three of the above countries have purchased 5 products produced in China. 8mm small-caliber automatic rifles, some are Type 85-II, some are CF2000, and some are Type 90 automatic rifles that have just been finalized this year (actually 5 of FN company SCAR-L. 8mm version). It seems that they are determined to abandon the Soviet system and switch to the Chinese system.

In addition to the host China, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries also had some harvests, and the United States also carried out several transactions with a cumulative amount of 2. 800 million, second only to China's turnover, South Korea, Turkey and other countries have purchased the United States' S-70 Black Hawk helicopters, I wonder if Langdao is affected by China's Black Hawk fighters. （P。 S。 The S-70 is actually a Black-Hawk and the Black Hawk fighter is a Black-Eagle, two different creatures)

The other two more interesting deals are that Saudi Arabia will replace 100 FBC-1B fighters with $5 million each, all of which will be replaced with new FC-9 Shadow Leopard fighters. This business seems confusing, but it was actually proposed by Qi Yiming to Saudi Arabia, and it was a complete means of defrauding money. He took these FBC-1Bs to the Red Alert repair plant and changed them to FC-9 without much effort, and Saudi Arabia gave him $500 million for nothing. Saudi Arabia is pleased to have traded the non-depreciating price plus some of the money for new, stronger fighters.

The deal was not announced, it was done in private, but it will also leave some clues, and the outside world may only think that it is a return to the factory for overhaul or something. As a result, Saudi Arabia has a fleet of 260 FC-9s, which basically forms an overpower over Israel.

Another deal is more interesting, Pakistan Railway also ate oil and water at this exhibition, with the full support of the Chinese side, they have almost mastered the manufacture of the second-generation fighter J-8 (minibus named JF-8), that is, the J-8II air Cai Guoqing in another plane. For the economic situation of minibuses, they cannot afford to support a large-scale fleet of F-16 and FC-1, so equipping some J-8 is a good choice. The ambitious minibuses not only wanted to equip themselves, but they also used them to sell them, and they kept the prices very low, at only $4.5 million per unit, which was very attractive.

Iran, which is also seeking to expand its air force, does not have the money to equip too many FC-1s, and the JF-8, which is less than half the FC-1 but also has Chinese roots, has given the Iranians some interest, thinking that maybe they can buy something good at a low price this time. So Iran bought 24 JF-8 fighters from Pakistan Railway, and in order to reach this deal, Pakistan even did not hesitate to cut the price again, with a total contract value of only 100 million US dollars, which made Qi Yiming wonder if they would lose money and make money.
