Chapter 737: Trade-in

In the face of this expected hot scene, Director Gao and Dong Feng (who made a mistake in the previous chapter and made a mistake to become Cai Siqiang, it should be Dong Feng) laughed from ear to ear, they took great pains to arrange such a show, in order to achieve this shocking result, the new Xiaolong and J-10P were marketed, and the customers who came today are all traditional customers of the Chinese side, as long as they are impressed, Director Gao believes that the orders will be endless. (.)

Although there is a large gap between the rich and the poor in these countries, even if each company gives an order for dozens of planes, it is three or four hundred planes that are sold to such a large scale for export.

To be honest, when the new Thunder and J-10P prototypes just came out, Director Gao did not believe in the amazing effect under this new design and production system, and the high quality of the two prototypes after the initial test flight made Director Gao full of confidence, so he coordinated with Dong Feng to install the avionics system and radar system to carry out this unprecedented bold test flight performance.

However, Director Gao and Dong Feng laughed too early, and when they politely pushed the enthusiastic customers to the leaders from the General Staff to deal with them, Major General Qian Shengli, the person in charge of foreign military aid sales who came to participate in the test flight of the General Staff Department, gave these enthusiastic customers an ambiguous answer very diplomatically, "Thank you very much for attending our test flight activities, I believe that you have a further understanding of the new models we have launched, which is the latest achievement of our military industry. Thank you very much for your recognition of these two products, and we will consider your needs in terms of defense. Qian Shengli said with a smile to the representatives of the air forces of various countries who rushed to him.

"But after all, this is a test flight, and it will really be finalized and mass-produced, and I think it will take some time for them to improve. So don't worry. Qian Shengli euphemistically expressed the meaning that China will not sell these two new models for the time being.

Director Gao and Dong Feng were originally smiling next to them, but when they heard Qian Shengli say this, the two of them smiled for a while, and immediately became a little unnatural, what does Qian Shengli mean by this, not with such a short financial road? can make customers rush to the door and be pushed out, without doing business.

However, Cheng Fei has no say in whether or not to sell this kind of military product and how much to sell, and it has to be said after consultation between the General Staff and foreign affairs and other departments.

Of course, the promotional materials for both new models were all requested by these enthusiastic customers, and they all needed to report this update to their respective countries immediately, and prepare to make diplomatic efforts to acquire these two fighters, because from what they saw on the ground, these two fighters were the best three-and-a-half-generation models they could afford right now. /

The price of the new Thunder is about $30 million, and the price of the J-10P is no more than $50 million, which is almost half the price of the competitor in the three and a half generations. With such an excellent price-to-price ratio, not to mention the fact that the Persians and Pakistan are in great need of the current war, even countries such as Myanmar and Bangladesh, which are not very urgent, want to purchase some to improve their air power to offset the huge threat posed by the large-scale procurement of American fighters by the Afghan Air Force.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Dong" Qian Shengli found the two bosses, Director Gao and Dong Feng, after Director Gao and them saw off the foreign guests, "To be honest, I was very skeptical about your arrangement before I came, because the cycle of your development of a new model this time is too short, and I sweated for your test flight in front of these foreign experts, but I never expected that you would really release a satellite this time" Qian Shengli praised sincerely.

"I didn't expect your new model to be so mature in technology, and I didn't expect that the XÌNG of these two new models would be so good, congratulations on making another breakthrough. Personally, the two new models you have developed should not be used for foreign trade exports, because from the perspective of air superiority operations, these two models have comprehensively surpassed our J-10A/B or J-11A/B fighters in service in terms of maneuverability and radar, and can pose a huge threat to our current fighters. ”

"But today you have taken these two models as the main products and promoted them to the foreign military, and now these representatives of the foreign army know that these two fighters are export products, which makes our work very passive." Qian Shengli said with a wry smile at the end.

Qian Shengli was born in the Air Force before joining the General Staff Department in charge of foreign arms sales, and he went from an ordinary pilot to the commander of the main division of the Air Force. Judging from the situation he saw at the scene and the simple xìng energy information given by Cheng Fei, the excellence of Cheng Fei's two prototypes is completely beyond imagination.

"Minister Qian," Director Gao couldn't help but explain with a little cry and laughter when he heard that Qian Shengli's euphemistic refusal to the customer was such a reason, "Although these two fighters are stronger than the old J-10 and J-11, they are not the best third-generation fighters we have now." Our J-10D is much more powerful than the J-10P, so we don't have to worry about this at all. ”

"The engine thrust is 10 tons, the afterburner thrust is 11.8 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio has reached 9.3," Qian Shengli shook his head, saying that he had reservations about Director Gao's statement, "You also used phased array radar for two fighters, Lao Gao, can you do better on this basis?" If I'm not mistaken, the engines of the world's mainstream third-generation and a half fighters do not have such a strong thrust-to-weight ratio, and the phased array radar you use is actually an improved version of the US F-35 that uses AN/AGP81. ”

For Qian Shengli's skeptical attitude, Director Gao is not easy to explain, for a while there is a feeling of helplessness, but this is also normal, Cheng Fei in the Duke presided over the development of the dragon plan is too fast, the entire aviation industry from design to manufacturing core foundation progress completely beyond the imagination of outsiders, engine, avionics, materials and manufacturing process have all achieved leaps, not the core backbone of the R & D front and high-level bosses, can not imagine the current development of the domestic industry.

Although Qian Shengli is also a high-ranking director of the General Staff, he is obviously not qualified to know the detailed progress of the Shenlong plan.

"Minister Qian, in a few days, our J-10D new main fighter will be tested flight, and Minister Qian will be asked to take time to come to guide" or Dong Feng's brain turned fast, although he never spoke, but he clearly saw that the crux of the problem now is that Minister Qian is worried that the new Xiaolong and J-10Pxìng can be too good and not suitable for export, as long as he believes that Chengfei has a better main fighter, he can dispel this concern.

D** is now a strategic partner with Chengfei, J-10D avionics and radar and other equipment are also provided by D**, Dong Feng of course for this new fighter every move is also very clear, in fact, J-10D has been on the old S-10C for many test flights, xìng can perform well, now S-10D new engine after small batch production, has been replaced with a new engine, ready to carry out a test flight before finalization.

"Mr. Gao, do you really have a new fighter that is better than the J-10P?" Qian Shengli heard Dong Feng say this, and then he began to believe what Director Gao just said, but he really couldn't imagine that Cheng Fei now has the ability to develop so many new models at the same time, the new Thunder, J-10P, J-10D, according to what Qian Shengli learned, Cheng Fei is still conducting research on J-20B fourth-generation aircraft, when the research and development of new fighters can be launched in batches like making mobile phones.

However, Director Gao, who understood the heart, quickly made Qian Shengli understand that Cheng Fei was not talking big.

"The thrust-to-weight ratio of the S-10D has reached 10, which can allow the J-10D to achieve supersonic cruise" Qian Shengli looked at the J-10Dxìng energy parameters, and was shocked again, "The detection range of the Thor phased array radar on air targets has reached 200 kilometers, and the RCS area of the J-10D itself is less than 1 square meter, God, when did we have such a powerful third-generation fighter?" "The first time I saw the complete XÌNG energy parameters of the J-10D, Qian Shengli was like a dream, compared to the fourth-generation aircraft he knew, the J-10D was very close in terms of stealth XÌNG performance.

If you compare J-10D with J-10P, Qian Shengli immediately feels that J-10P is simply one era behind, no wonder Cheng Fei uses them as the main force of export sales.

J-10D this xìng can, compared with the U.S. F-15E Silent Eagle, in addition to the gap in bomb load, other aspects can be described as a comprehensive victory, as an air operation, J-10D has completely surpassed the U.S. F-15E Silent Eagle, and the latest improved fighters of the European Typhoon and Rafale also have a great advantage.

Coupled with the unique intelligent radar sharing and firepower intelligent distribution functions, the J-10D air superiority combat xìng can comprehensively surpass the current three and a half generations of the main models in the United States and Europe.

"Minister Qian, J-10D because of the big changes, the entire aerodynamic shape has been fully optimized, plus the use of Duch Heavy Industries' new composite aviation materials and new engines, so in terms of research and development cycle than the new Thunder and J-10P, the fuselage of the two fighters is not too different from the original model, we can transform the old Thunder and J-10B, by replacing the avionics system, radar system and engine upgrade to a new generation of fighters." Director Gao explained Cheng Fei's plan to Qian Shengli.

"Therefore, in terms of the new Thunder, on the one hand, we provide upgrade services to the outside world, and on the other hand, we can directly provide new models; The J-10P, on the other hand, is mainly sold from our existing J-10B fighters, and the benefits obtained from each old J-10B fighter can be replaced with a new J-10D. ”

This is Cheng Fei's wishful thinking to impress the military, they chose to improve the room for improvement J-10B to start, it is the number of J-10B equipped by the Air Force is huge, if the future is fully equipped with J-10D, the status of this part of the fighter is a little embarrassing, but now through the development of J-10P, the vast majority of J-10B can be upgraded to J-10P for sale, only need to spend millions of dollars on upgrades, although the cost of J-10D has risen a lot, But it didn't reach $40 million.

In this way, the Air Force only needs to pay the upgrade cost of the J-10B to get the new J-10D with a straight increase in combat power.

For such a perfect plan, Qian Shengli has nothing to say, he can only fully support it, so that Chengfei Foreign Trade Shuangxiong soon obtained the license for mass production and sales, and began to go to the international market on a large scale.
