Dominate South Asia

No one will doubt the advanced aviation technology of the United States. Even the Soviet Union is targeting the United States. Whatever the Americans have, they will do it accordingly. They must surpass the Americans in terms of performance, while the Americans have technical indicators. the framer of.

In addition to the familiar ones, there are also other unfamiliar aircraft. For example, there is an aircraft that looks like it is a modified F-16. However, the shape of the wings is so special that it looks like a scimitar!

After getting off the plane and watching, Old Arslan and his party entered an office building. In a large conference room, some officials from the U.S. Air Force and some major U.S. airlines were already waiting there. Their arrival has only one goal.

"Your research in the field of fighter stealth is of great interest to us, and we hope to share these research results with you." After sitting down, the representative of the United States, the commander of the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force General David said kindly.

As the commander of the Equipment Command, he is mainly responsible for various equipment of the army. David has an advanced awareness of air combat and knows that the sky of the future must belong to stealth fighters. Now, the mission of the U.S. Air Force is to develop this kind of stealth fighter on its own, and at the same time, block the way for others to develop stealth fighters!

Even in later generations, the United States did this. The F-35 project almost involved all of Western Europe. They did not obtain any technology. On the contrary, their own domestic military aircraft development technology was delayed. The only effect was, It means sharing the research and development funds with the United States, and finally sharing the sales pressure. Countries provide funds, and each country orders a batch of fighter jets.

Now. When the United States discovered Pakistan's tendency to develop stealth fighters, it naturally had to find a way to acquire Pakistan's technology. At the same time, for such a friendly country, they wanted to share Pakistan's fighter jets. Development strangled.

"Share the results?" Old Arslan asked: "How to share? What benefits can we get?"

Old Arslan's vigilance is of course very high. The main thing is that if the Americans take it out now. The technical information from Pakistan is not ready yet, so it must be delayed for a while now.

"We in the United States are currently developing fourth-generation aircraft. The main contractors are Lockheed and Northrop. Now, representatives of these companies are here. You can choose to join any of their companies and join you. All the information on stealth is shared, and at the same time, we participate in the development of our fourth-generation fighter aircraft. "Our fourth-generation fighter aircraft will have outstanding performance, such as supersonic cruise capabilities." No When the afterburner is turned on, it can fly at supersonic speeds. It has stealth performance and will be invisible to the opponent's radar. It has super maneuverability. The engine has a thrust vector function and can make various maneuvers. It also has over-the-horizon precision strike capabilities. . If you participate in the development, then after we successfully develop this fighter aircraft, we will export it to your country. Developing a fighter aircraft requires a considerable investment, and you may not be able to afford the development of such an advanced fighter aircraft for the time being. "

Old Arslan looked at this four-star general in the United States. In the United States, a lieutenant general has three stars. A general is a four-star general, and a five-star general is equivalent to a marshal. It is a title only given during wartime, now. Four stars is already the highest military rank in the military. The man in front of me is a veteran-level person in the U.S. military.

Such people. The credibility of what he said is almost zero! How could the Americans be so kind by deceiving Pakistan into jointly developing it with them?

Instead of joint development, it is better to think of another way! An idea suddenly popped up in old Arslan's mind. He said to General David in front of him: "We in Pakistan will encounter many problems if we want to comprehensively develop a new fighter jet. We are just There have been breakthroughs in stealth technology, and for new fighters, stealth performance is only one aspect. Supersonic cruise needs to be emphasized. We in Pakistan have no ability to manufacture engines with a ratio of more than 10. Therefore, our stealth technology can only be a pavement. However, if we share the technology with you, we are afraid that we will not be able to provide any technology in other aspects. , rather than sharing technology, we would rather sell our current research and development results.”

sell! As soon as Old Arslan's words came out, everyone was shocked.

This kind of stealth technology is very confidential, and they have never thought that Pakistan would sell these technologies.

"So after you sell these technologies, will you still use them?" a Boeing employee asked.

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

Old Arslan's words reassured the other party. If Pakistan sells these technologies to the United States, it would not be in the interests of the United States if he continues to secretly do so. But now, old Arslan speaks very honestly. Does Pakistan have this capability?

In terms of stealth technology, it is possible to make certain progress, but the development of an aircraft is an overall system, and any subsystem in it is enough to cause a headache for Pakistan.

"How do you plan to sell it?" A Lockheed employee asked. Their current YF-22 is still in the design stage. If they can obtain Pakistan's results, it will be a great boost.

"We haven't figured out how to sell it yet." Old Arslan said: "I have to go back and report to our president. At the same time, all companies are welcome to propose their own purchase methods."

This guy is so cunning! Suddenly, everyone present had such an idea in their minds. This Pakistani is really interesting. Everything can be measured by money! It is said that Pakistani President Muhammad is the best at doing business. Now, their research results can also be sold in packages!

Not proposing a sales method here is to let the major companies compete below, especially Lockheed and Northrop. No one knows what the other party is offering. At the same time, everyone is afraid that the other party will buy these technologies. In this way, the price Pakistan sells in the end will be far higher than the value of these technologies themselves. Moreover, the major companies have no second choice at all.

Old Arslan didn't know that these people doubted him in their hearts. Old Arslan swore to heaven that he had no such idea. He did this just to delay time.

The bulging air intake was enough to attract those companies. After all, reducing the weight of the aircraft by even one kilogram would improve the performance of the aircraft, especially the fourth-generation aircraft, which needs stealth. The aerodynamic design of the fuselage must compromise with stealth, so it will be more necessary to consider weight reduction.

People from Lockheed and Northrop have already begun to think about how to defeat their opponents and turn the technology developed by Pakistan into their own company's technology.

David didn't expect Pakistan to make such a choice and actually sell such a core technology. This is good. At least it shows that Pakistan has self-knowledge and will not independently develop any fourth-generation aircraft. Even the Soviet Union has just succeeded in the third-generation aircraft, and the fourth-generation aircraft is still a long way off.

"The Pakistani Air Force has the most experience in fighting the Soviet Union. As the Chief of Staff of the Pakistani Air Force, you must have a lot of experience. We hope you can tell us about your country's accumulated experience this time, 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 belongs to the navy, many tactics can be used universally. The biggest enemy of the US Air Force is also the Soviet Union. They need some opinions from Pakistan.

"Electronic technology is the key to determining future wars." Old Arslan knew that the following topics were useless, but he had to brag to the people in front of him to let them know how to fight. Of course, old Arslan's experience is actually the consensus of everyone.

"Medium-range air-to-air missiles that can fly correctly in a complex electromagnetic interference environment, especially active guidance heads, will be in an advantageous position in combat. Large off-axis combat missiles will make close-range combat more dangerous. We expect that in future air battles, close-range combat will become less and less. In such battles, life and death almost depends on your luck." Old Arslan talked freely.

After that, Arslan continued to inspect several air force bases in the United States and contacted front-line pilots in the United States. This trip to the United States was about to end.

Almost the day before the end, the representative of Grumman suddenly said to Arslan: "Your country's air force is the main user of our Grumman Tomcat fighter. This time at the Farnborough Air Show, your air force has brought the performance of this fighter to the extreme. You have come to the United States. We at Grumman very much welcome you to visit our company."

Grumman issued a sincere invitation. Facing such an invitation, Arslan could not refuse. Apart from anything else, Pierre, the president of Grumman, was the father-in-law of his own president Muhammad, so Arslan had to go.

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

Arslan has been to this company more than once. Now, he revisits the old place and feels different. Back then, Arslan took his son to Pakistan. The Tomcat fighter jets produced by this company guarded the Pakistani sky! (To be continued ~^~)
