1740 For the whole world to be able to afford the third generation of fighters

"Director Liu, don't you communicate with them?" Chen Di called Liu Yijiu and reported that Pakistan had found a large number of people to come to see the Foxconn. However, Liu Yijiu said that they would watch the communication by themselves. He did not participate in this matter, which made Chen Di a little depressed.

Except for important things, Liu Yijiu has never left Daba Mountain.

If the Fighter Dragon fighter was not jointly developed with Pakistan, China would definitely not allow the people below to sell it.

When selling weapons and equipment, many times, it is definitely not necessary for one party to sell it if the other party has resources. There are also many factors that need to be considered.

The buyers Pakistan is looking for are selling the weapons and equipment they invested in. China is responsible for designing and producing them, and it is just sitting aside to share profits, so naturally there is no problem.

"What's the point of asking them to talk about it themselves and let me participate in selling a plane? Besides, this matter is mainly handled by Pakistan, and it doesn't matter whether our government agrees or not." Liu Yijiu's main energy is still in the mountains.

After a while, after the missile battleship is equipped, he will definitely go, which will delay his time.

The 0.55 million-ton large destroyer is estimated to be in service for about the same time.

The Air Force equipment has arrived, and the Army's main heavy equipment is almost the same. I just waited to improve the other supporting equipment, and the Navy was left with the heart-wrenching concern.

The century-old navy is definitely not a joke.

In this regard, the Republic basically started from scratch from the beginning.

The naval equipment is far behind the world's powers, and even the methods of combat are not very experienced.

It doesn’t mean that with large warships and aircraft carriers, the navy becomes stronger, but with these equipment, it can at least become stronger faster. With a strong foundation, isn’t it?

Liu Yijiu is determined to get out the electromagnetic gun, the experimental model of the Gauss gun is being built, and the research work of small high-energy batteries is also underway. At this time, he, the project leader with the most experience in the field of electromagnetic weapons, naturally cannot leave.

Most of the potential buyers brought by Pakistan are from the Middle East. Of course, they have always had good relations with them. Argentina, which has begun to adopt Chinese equipment on a large scale in recent years, and even the second largest country like Africa, Nigeria, has also come.

Of course, most of them are small countries without any economic strength.

People are often like this. When they have money, they don’t feel anything about everything that can be easily obtained and don’t care too much. When they have no money, they often want to get things that can be bought or even cannot be bought in their hands.

Poor countries hope to obtain better equipment so that their army can at least look very glamorous on the surface.

Faced with such a group of countries that want to buy but have no money, the performance of China's Fighter Dragon fighter jets is something they once looked up to, but this price is also unbearable for them.

Pakistan quoted them a $32 million per aircraft.

Just a change of stock, the price will rise by 4 million US dollars. Moreover, this price will be reduced after the cost is reduced. The more they sell, the lower their own costs will be. As for cheating allies, they would not have considered it at all. If it weren’t for Pakistan’s investment or China’s development, these countries would not have been able to obtain such advanced fighter jets.

"The cost is too high. We are very satisfied with the performance of the JF-17 fighter jet, but this price is really something we can't afford..."

"Yes, our Air Force combat mission does not require too many luxurious configurations, and active phased array radars and other things are not suitable..."

Including Nigeria, I also feel that the world's most advanced technical equipment such as the Xiaolong are not needed.

Around Africa, many countries do not even have the second-generation jet fighter jets. They purchase third-generation fighter jets, which are used for combat, and they cannot find a suitable enemy at all.

In this case, why do you have to purchase?

If they say it, it is to shock the surrounding countries that are hostile to them.

Liu Yijiu curled his lips. They were just pretending to equip these.

"Director Liu, don't laugh. This is the real situation we are facing at present. Pakistan is also helpless. They hope that we can reduce the configuration of the fighter and thus reduce the price. For them, the MiG-29 has a single-performance light fighter. Our Xiaolong has advanced performance and strong comprehensive capabilities. It can carry out air combat and ground attack missions. As long as the price is reduced, they should purchase a lot." Yang Wei was sent to communicate with Liu Yijiu and asked what to do.

This was originally a matter of Pakistan, but it was related to the future prospects of the project.

Chen Di and others naturally didn't want to let it go, but they also hoped that the fighter jets they developed could be seen anywhere in the world.

The wider the use, the more it means that a fighter has an advanced enough performance. It may not be the best, but it is the most suitable.

"This is the first time we have encountered something that we think the equipment performance is too high. The military has always thought that our equipment technical performance is not advanced enough, and urged us to come up with a better solution..." Yang Wei was a little incomprehensible.

Logically, people might think that the equipment is not advanced enough and the price is high. Even if the price is low, they will think that the price is high.

Liu Yijiu smiled, but there was no explanation.

The mentality of a poor country is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Just like the most rich country in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, they have money and purchase the most advanced equipment in the world. Even if they know that the performance will be greatly reduced by their soldiers' skills, they will still purchase it, and even ask for air conditioners, refrigerators and other things that have nothing to do with combat in order to enjoy their soldiers.

The final result is that their powerful armored vehicle troops were beaten to pieces by the guerrillas carrying the bazooka...

Poor countries also have the desire to purchase more advanced and powerful equipment.

Only by the strong national defense force can a country have a sense of security and national leaders will feel that their backs are stronger.

"If they think that some equipment has too advanced performance, then they will reduce the configuration." Liu Yijiu reminded Yang Wei. "What they want is a third-generation aircraft, and it is an advanced third-generation fighter. Instead of a fighter with more advanced performance and stronger combat capabilities..."

"What's the difference? Isn't it possible to have stronger combat capabilities only with more advanced performance?" Yang Wei was a little puzzled.

He was not the chief designer of the JF-17 fighter jet developed by Liu Yijiu's era. Moreover, the JF-17 in front of him can be considered first-class in terms of combat performance among the third-generation fighter jets.

"Old Yang, do you think these fighter jets have the opportunity to participate in the war after they are purchased?" Liu Yijiu did not answer Yang Wei's question, but asked Yang Wei's question.

How many fighter jets are now equipped in the world?

Although there is no exact number, it is absolutely conceivable that the number is very large.

Even in the previous Iraq War, the number of fights between the two sides invested in the war was only a very small part of the fighter jets they owned around the world.

Weapons and equipment are for deterrence, to prevent war, and to have the opportunity to win the war when war breaks out, rather than failure.

"It's rare, and there may not even be any fighter jets that can participate in the war..." It is no longer the situation before World War I and II, and peaceful development is the mainstream of the world.

Small-scale local wars may break out, but the probability of large-scale use of advanced weapons and equipment is very small.

In the just-end Chechen War, the heavy equipment of the Russian army could not play a role in rural and urban street fighting.

This local war alone can see the role of advanced equipment in such a war.

Unless wars between countries are like Americans beating Iraq. And among these potential customers coming to China, how many of them are facing powerful enemies? Therefore, their biggest role in purchasing the Xiaolong is to deter the enemy.

"Since there are not many fighter jets that can participate in the war, do you think, why do they want to buy it for them?" Liu Yijiu was completely tempted by the way.

For them, the countries that purchase Chinese equipment are not for the purpose of buying it to fight.

But they cannot give up the opportunity to get advanced fighter jets.

"..." Yang Wei didn't know how to answer.

These countries can't come to China to eat and drink, right?

You should know that although the cost of coming to China is borne by Pakistan, once an agreement cannot be reached, will Pakistan be willing to invite them to eat and drink for free?

"Directly reduce the configuration, we can learn from foreign civil aviation passenger aircraft. We have created a basic model of fighter aircraft. This thing does not require too advanced technical performance. The radar and avionics systems are all equipped with things that are slightly higher than those of the second-generation aircraft, or reaching two and a half generations..." Liu Yijiu had this idea when he heard that the other party thought that the cost of the JF-11 was too high because of its performance, so he had this idea.

Just like in another ten or twenty years, all kinds of things on the market are like this.

The things you launched are completely basic models. If you think the performance is not good? No problem, add money. As long as you add money, we can completely replace many configurations for you, absolutely responsible for your status and pursuit...

Don't have money? But do you want to buy our products?

This is even more not a problem.

Although our mid-to-top versions are a bit expensive, the basic version will definitely not be too expensive, and anyone can afford it.

Worry about our basic models being too simple?

There is no need to worry about this. At least, our basic model has all kinds of basic functions and will never affect the use. Of course, if you have some requirements for a certain aspect, you can add some configurations of the aspects you want within your ability...

Liu Yijiu didn't make sure that he would get such a thing on the fighter plane.

However, in this case, it is only the most appropriate to use this method.

Liu Yijiu's words made Yang Wei, who was opposite him, stuffed a fist into his mouth. He never thought that fighter jets could still be sold like this.

According to this model, they will create a basic model that can be equipped with technical performance based on the usage environment and combat tasks. In this way, will it effectively reduce costs and sell more?

"Is this possible? We are a fighter opportunity!" Yang Wei said this for a long time.

"What's wrong? Fighters only need to have basic combat functions. In terms of engines, you can choose the old models before. Although their performance will decrease, their prices are cheap. Avionics systems and other systems are all equipped with basic ones. The appearance design of aerodynamic layouts will not have any impact. When there is no actual combat, who can know what these fighters are equipped with?" Liu Yijiu looked like a profiteer.

According to his idea, basic fighter jets, avionics systems and engines are enough to meet the standards of third-generation fighter jets.

Just like the MiG-29, because of its single function and poor combat capability, the price is not high, and it only costs more than 10 million US dollars in manufacturing costs.

If the configuration of the JF-11 is reduced to this level, the price can be reduced more.

What's more, the design of the JF-11 is originally a multi-functional comprehensive fighter.

Yang Wei didn't know if this could work, but the aerodynamic layout was completed. According to what Liu Yijiu said, the configuration was different, so there would be no trouble.

What's more, there is an advantage to doing this, and the Xiaolong can form a series in an instant.

"It is divided into basic models, low-end, medium-end, high-end and luxury configurations? This is not a car!" People from Pakistan couldn't help but their eyes fell off when they heard this solution. "The luxury configuration is the one with an active phased array radar, and the advanced configuration is our current basic model. Once the performance is reduced, the combat capability..."

They felt chill when they thought of this.

Can this thing be done like this?

"General, you can communicate with our potential customers. The economic situation of each country is different. We are completely considering everyone so that everyone can use the world's most advanced fighter jets. Even the basic models with the lowest configuration will meet the standards of third-generation fighter jets..." Chen Di was also unconfident.

Liu Yijiu's idea was too damaging.

However, no one in China has more experience in selling weapons than Liu Yijiu.

Pakistanis are naturally helpless, but if they can’t find more people to purchase, the cost will be very high. Among their limited budget funds, the number of racks that can be purchased will be much smaller.

There must be performance, and the quantity must be even less.

Pakistan's land area is not as large as India's, and its economic strength cannot be compared with Ah San. Once its equipment is backward, Kashmir will probably be snatched away by the Indians and they will not be able to snatch it back.
