A big country of aerospace with black technology

Although the quotation of the J-10S is very high, its cost is actually not too high. It is about 160 million domestic currency, which is about 20 million US dollars.

However, when it comes to exporting, it is normal for the lion to open his mouth, and everyone is used to it.

In a sense, a large part of the premium for military equipment is actually the protection fee they handed over.

Salman has long been used to this situation, and now it is basically impossible to buy such an excellent fighter jet elsewhere.

So after learning about the excellent performance of the J-10S, I didn't talk about the price again.

"When will the delivery be possible?" Salman is now more concerned about the delivery time.

If the delivery time is too long, then inflation and performance depreciation must be considered.

Because the cycle of the arms trade is very long, these two aspects must be taken into consideration.

Especially under the attack of the financial turmoil last year, the currency depreciation was still relatively serious, which caused heavy losses to Salman, who had reserved a considerable amount of dollars and prepared to use them to buy various materials.

Delivery as soon as possible can avoid this, but Zhang Xingyang has also said before that the delivery time will not be too early.

So he wanted an answer, so he could go back and talk about the old man in the family.

After all, a transaction worth close to 20 billion U.S. dollars is definitely considered a super large transaction in this era.

"For the first batch, we can deliver 18 fighter jets to help you complete the preliminary training work."

In fact, this figure is not worth mentioning compared to the current output of the J-10S.

Basically, it is only one month's output of Chengfei, but Salman doesn't know this.

In his view, the production cycle of such an advanced fighter jet that uses a lot of high technology must be very long.

It is estimated that in one month, it would be good to be able to produce three or four.

So the first batch can have 18 planes, which is a bit beyond his expectation.

"The delivery time may be two years later."

Zhang Xingyang said a little apologetically.

In two years, basically four to five hundred J-10S fighters can be produced,

A domestic aviation division has only 108 fighter jets, and 500 J-10S can replace five aviation divisions.

Basically enough to ensure the safety of homeland air defense.

At that time, a part of production capacity will be able to be freed up for export production, and export will be carried out while domestic refitting is carried out.

"Then we have to wait until 2001?"

Two years is actually a very short time for the transaction cycle of such large equipment.

So there is nothing particularly dissatisfied with Salman.

"The first batch of fighter jets is expected to be delivered no later than 2001."

The time given by Zhang Xingyang this time is more accurate.

Even in 2001, the performance of the J-10S is still very capable.

At that time, neither Gaul's Rafale nor Maozi's Su-35 could beat the J-10S!

After reaching an agreement on some basic issues, the two parties signed a relatively simple memorandum to determine some general content.

For the details of the specific contract, of course, there will be professional financial system and equipment system personnel to negotiate item by item.

However, the two parties have cooperated many times before, and they can have a good discussion on some possible disputes.

Contract drafting should be relatively easy.

Just when the two parties walked out of the reception room and were about to continue to visit the aviation exhibition.

A few bearded men who didn't look very rich blocked the way of Zhang Xingyang and Song Tianxing.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Xingyang's attitude is relatively good, and there is no such thing as judging people by their appearance.

After all, even those who look like poor people at the air show are actually giants of a country.

"We have a little idea about fighter jets and would like to chat with you."

The leader with a big beard looks very rough, but he is very polite when he speaks.

"Okay, this way please."

Zhang Xingyang first let the group enter the reception room to wait for him, and then said to Salman:

"Sorry, my friend, I can't stay with you any longer."

"Hahaha, my friend."

"Next, you may be very busy!"

Salman can understand it. After all, the J-10S just exhibited has explosive performance. There must be many people like himself who want to import it.

After waving goodbye to Crown Prince Salman, Zhang Xingyang turned his head and entered the reception room.

Before Zhang Xingyang entered the reception room, the expressions of the bearded people were basically not very good-looking. After seeing Zhang Xingyang, they forced a little smile.

"My friends, I don't know what you want from me."

Zhang Xingyang was very friendly to such a group of people.

After all, they come from Pakistan, which has a long-standing friendship with China.

In the past decades, the two sides have maintained in-depth exchanges in various fields.

Especially in terms of military equipment, they are not only equipped with numerous J-6 fighter jets and J-7 fighter jets, but even a lot of army equipment comes from China.

"We need your help right now!"

Mirza, who was the leader, looked at Zhang Xingyang very sincerely.

After searching in his mind, Zhang Xingyang finally understood the reason for the urgency of the other party for the major events that happened in Pakistan recently.

Less than a month ago, a military conflict broke out between Ba Guo and Asan, who had been against them before.

The core area of ​​the conflict is in the Kargil mountain area. After the Pakistani troops entered the mountain area, the Asan launched a large-scale air strike into the mountain area.

Because Ah San is equipped with MiG-29A capable of launching R-27 missiles, it can threaten the F-16A/B of the Pakistan Air Force at a distance of more than 50 kilometers.

However, Pakistan's F-16A can only launch AIM-9 "Sidewinder" missiles because of its old model, with a range of only five kilometers.

Once forced by Ah San's air force, he could only stay away from the battlefield and wander outside the Kargil area.

This time Mirza came to Dragon Kingdom, hoping to get some advanced fighter jets and missiles capable of beyond visual range combat.

"It's hard for us to give you what you need now."

Zhang Xingyang first talked about his own difficulties:

"Our fighter jets have just started mass production, and we need to prioritize equipping our own troops."

In fact, after the current J-10A is equipped with the Thunderbolt 9D, it can violently beat the MiG-29A equipped with the R-27 missile.

But Zhang Xingyang was not so willing to take it out directly, especially when Cheng Fei's Song Tianxing was still beside him.

This incident actually involved a past event that was not too long ago.

In 1991, Chengfei invested and restarted the "Super-7" project on its own. At that time, the minibus side was more interested in this project.

In 1994, the two sides started formal negotiations, but five years have passed, and no formal research and development contract has been signed.

The main reason is that the minibus is half-hearted, thinking that it can import various advanced fighter jets from the West, and is not so interested in the cooperation project with Longguo.

It was not until last year that they were blocked by the West because of the issue of starting nuclear tests that they began to accelerate the pace of negotiations.

However, at that time, Chengfei's J-10A had already been developed, and the development of the more advanced J-10S was about to begin.

As for the cooperation project with Pakistan, he is not so concerned, and the situation has undergone an earth-shaking reversal.

"As long as you can trade with us as soon as possible, we can use hard currency for settlement!"

At this time, Mirza offered an almost irresistible offer.

"Not dollars!"

"It's gold!"

At this time, the people on Longguo's side almost stood up in shock.

Because the hard currency at this time is generally the U.S. dollar. After all, who makes people the only superpower at this time.

However, it is still rare to use gold for military trade.

After all, as a country, gold is used as an economic ballast. Everyone tries to spend as little as possible and save as much as possible.

At this time, even Song Tianxing, who was going to slightly suppress the other party, couldn't sit still, after all, there was such a thing as gold settlement.

Except when trading with countries at war can occur, it is rare at other times.

"What do you want?"

Song Tianxing couldn't help getting up and asking.

Seeing that the bait he threw finally attracted the attention of the other side, Mirza's originally sad face finally had a gleam of joy.

"We need a lot."

"An advanced fighter that can compete with the MiG-29!"

"A missile capable of beyond visual range combat!"

"We need all the weapons that can regain air supremacy!"

There was a trace of murderous look on Mirza's face. Obviously, in the past air battles, Pakistan suffered a lot.

After Zhang Xingyang and Song Tianxing looked at each other, they frowned and asked:

"When do you want it?"

To Mirza's surprise, the other party did not say that he did not have such a weapon, but only asked about the delivery time of the weapon.

Does this mean that the other party is able to provide such weapons?

Mirza couldn't help thinking in his own mind.

"Of course, the sooner the better!"

Ba Guo and Ah San, the battle in the Kargil mountain area is not over yet, if it can be used in the war, that would be great.

But Mirza also knew that such a possibility was unlikely, after all, even the warehouse of the aircraft factory had such stocks.

However, various negotiations and preparations before delivery will take several months at least.

By then the war would have already ended.

Unless the opponent can take out the fighter jets in their active forces and deliver them to themselves.

However, doing so will not allow these fighters to appear on the battlefield in the first place.

Although the Ba Kingdom purchased a lot of Dragon Kingdom fighters before, they are familiar with the various types of fighter jets used by the Dragon Kingdom.

However, if a pilot wants to adapt to a new type of fighter jet, even a first-level pilot will need a long time to fully adapt.

Unless, the people of Longguo can send their pilots to drive their most advanced fighter jets to help them seize air supremacy.

But this is basically impossible, not to mention that this is just a conflict at the regional level, even at the level of a full-scale war, it is unlikely to happen.

"Delivery time, the sooner the better!"

Mirza finally made his wish known.

Although he himself knew that it was not reliable, he still hoped to get help from Longguo as soon as possible.

Let them give priority to gaining air supremacy in the next conflict with Asan.

After hearing the other party's answer, Zhang Xingyang also knew that this matter was actually beyond the authority of him and Song Tianxing.

Such a matter must be decided at the highest level, because the relationship is too important.

"Sorry, this is out of our control."

"We have to report it."

After discussing with Song Tianxing, Zhang Xingyang told Mirza the bad news.

"I can understand."

Mirza also knew that such a decision could not be made by the two in front of him.

"But I still want to ask."

"What kind of weapons can you provide?"

"Can it defeat the MiG-29A equipped with R-27 long-range air-to-air missiles?"

Regarding this point, although he had vaguely felt it from Zhang Xingyang's answer just now, Mirza still wanted to get a more accurate answer.

This question was within the scope of Zhang Xingyang's ability to answer.

"What is the performance of the fighter jets we provide, I want to answer you after you have watched this video."

Zhang Xingyang did not answer Mirza's question directly, but first played a video that had just been shown to Crown Prince Salman.

The video is not very long, but the amount of information revealed is great.

"In the video, is that fighter jet the one we just saw on the viewing platform?"

Mirza asked with some uncertainty.

Just now on the viewing platform, he was very impressed by the two J-10S that appeared later.

Because the J-10S is much faster than the F-16A they are currently equipped with, both in terms of speed and maneuverability.

And in the video, it even reveals a point that cannot be seen when watching it on the spot.

That is the J-10S, which has almost no stealth performance on the third-generation aircraft today.

This indicator is generally used to verify the next generation of fighter jets.

"Yes!"

Zhang Xingyang looked at the J-10S in the video, and said proudly:

"Our newly developed J-10S is capable of supersonic cruise, has super mobile combat capabilities, and has extremely strong stealth performance."

"I can say that in today's world, and even in the next ten years, there is no third-generation machine in the world that can reach our height!"

Although Mirza was a little unbelievable, he still chose to believe considering the identity of the other party.

"Does it have long-range air-to-air missiles?"

Although Mirza is very envious of the excellent air combat performance of the J-10S, long-range air-to-air missiles are also what they need to consider.

In the air battle just past, they suffered too much from long-range air-to-air missiles.

"The mount point under the J-10S wing can carry four Thunderbolt 9D long-range air-to-air missiles at the same time."

Zhang Xingyang put the slideshow on the next page and played the J-10S flight map with four Thunderbolt 9Ds hanging under the wing and said.

"Using the most advanced integrated ramjet engine, the maximum range has reached 100 kilometers!"

"The killing range has reached 40 meters!"

This kind of performance far exceeds the R-27 missiles equipped by the Asan, even the AIM120 missiles of Yingjiang can't achieve such performance!

If such equipment is really provided to the minibus, Ah San will only be beaten violently!
