1741 Grab the American fighter plane order
Pakistanis do not think it is too reliable for China's proposals. At present, they also know that there is basically no possibility of reducing costs, and the only way is to reduce distribution.
It is impossible to reduce the allocation by themselves, but their potential customers should not be able to reduce the allocation.
Originally, they were just trying to communicate with other countries, but they did not expect that many countries would accept this proposal. Even in Argentina, the JF-11 fighter jets purchased were not all top-end. The price of the JF-11 fighter jets was reduced to the level they expected, which made them place an order of 12o F-11 in one go. Among them, there were only 2o top-level configurations, that is, fighter jets equipped with active phased array radar, and the price of each aircraft reached 32o US dollars. Of course, this money was part of the loan from China, and they used resources to repay it; the remaining 100 were high, medium and low configurations in accordance with a ratio of 343.
The price of low-end equipment is only 1.58 million US dollars per aircraft, while the price of medium-end equipment is only 1.74 million US dollars, and the price of high-end equipment is 2.4 million US dollars. These prices are acceptable to them. A poor Middle Eastern country like Bahrain has the most basic minimum configuration to order, and the number is only 12.
Although the tyrant countries such as Qatar have a small population, they have placed orders of up to 80 aircraft!
Half top-end configuration, half high-end configuration.
Such news made Chen Di and others completely disbelief.
Even such a situation made Pakistan unexpected that according to their initial idea, even orders of only 1oo or dozens of racks could be allocated some profits and reduced costs.
Especially in a country like Qatar, which has a total army of only about 100,000, it actually placed an order of 80 aircraft in one go, which did not make them think of it.
Qatar countries are very small, but their status in the Middle East is very important, especially the total natural gas reserves reach the third in the world!
Even so, they don't need to equip such a huge number of fighter jets.
"There are 432 orders in total? Isn't this quite good? Although there are not many top-end equipment, and the basic model has just reached the third generation of performance. The price will naturally be much higher with a weapon system." Liu Yijiu did not have much feeling about the order for the 432 Fighter Dragon fighter jets.
It is very likely that China will not only have the quantity of equipment, but Pakistan itself has also placed an order of 11o aircraft. In addition, Argentina and Qatar, the order quantity has reached 31o aircraft. This shows that many other countries are watching the fun and making a living.
"Director Liu, you say that a country like Qatar has a population of only one million, active-duty soldiers, and the Air Force has only two combat squadrons and less than a thousand people. This number of people also includes an air transport squadron, three helicopter squadrons and a surface-to-air missile squadron... Even if a war breaks out, the number of troops cannot reach 100,000. Why do they place such a large order? Their Air Force has other sources of fighter jets..." Qatar's order is the most surprising thing.
This country has a small area and its economic strength is very rich with oil and natural gas resources. Purchasing is not a problem. The question is, what are they doing with so many fighter jets?
Liu Yijiu was also very curious about Qatar's order for 8O Fighter jets.
Most Middle Eastern countries have relatively good relations. Of course, the relationship between Iran, an evil country, is not good with other countries. Qatar's crude oil and natural gas exports are not necessary to protect them. Especially their alliance with Saudi Arabia, there is no need to equip such a large number of fighter jets.
"Is there something happening around Qatar? Is there a country going to be in chaos? Or is the Iranians ready to attack Saudi Arabia?" Liu Yijiu asked with a frown.
Qatar is right next to Saudi Arabia. Even if you have war and have some planes, you will obviously be unable to deal with Iran, which has become evil.
Iran has obtained a large amount of air force equipment from China, and its main models are J-11, J-H-7, J-8, and some previous Western-style aircraft. With Qatar, as long as there is a strike, the country will be out of stock.
Although Qatar pursues non-alignment, they are allied with Saudi Arabia. Once a war breaks out, Saudi Arabia will be able to provide protection to them, and even Saudi Arabia and Pakistan will provide them with troops. More than half of the soldiers in this country are from other Arabs and Pakistan.
Otherwise, they would not have appeared on the list of Pakistan's sales promotions this time, and even gave Pakistan a huge face.
"No, the situation in the Middle East has always been like that. The Americans have caused the situation in Iraq. Although the Middle East is still providing crude oil to the United States, the number has remained at a very low state in recent years. If the Americans had not vigorously exploited shale oil, the oil crisis would have become more serious..." Yin Xianping's intelligence made Liu Yijiu's eyes lit up.
"They are not purchasing for themselves!" After Liu Yijiu figured it out, he became happy. "It seems that the Pakistani people are going to make a fortune this time."
"What do you mean?" Chen Di was completely confused. Isn't Qatar purchasing for himself?
If you weren't purchasing for yourself, how could you make a decision so quickly?
"Although the Middle East has always hoped to maintain relations with Western countries, it has always hoped to reduce its dependence on the Middle East. What did the Americans do in the previous Iraq War? If it weren't for the secret support of the Arab world over the years and they kept pulling Americans back, would the Iraq War last for so many years?" Liu Yijiu thought of a possibility.
If this may be true, it is obviously a great opportunity for Zhonggong.
The world's arms market is basically occupied by the United States and Russians.
However, customers in any country or region will definitely not be better than those in the Middle East.
They are not short of money and are even too lazy to do their own logistics.
However, before this, most of the weapons of Middle Eastern countries came from the United States and Western countries.
Western countries hope that they can continuously expand their export share in the Middle East, but the United States will naturally not let go. There are so many open and secret arrows in the middle, only those who have experienced it will know.
"You mean, Qatar helped Saudi Arabia buy it?" Chen Di couldn't believe it.
All the weapons equipped by Saudi Arabia are NATO.
Before purchasing the Dragon Guard tank, they were forced to have no choice. The war threat from Iraq made them feel no sense of security. The most advanced m1 tanks of the Americans were proved to be unable to defend against the Dragon Guard's attack, and they purchased a batch of Chinese Dragon Guard tanks.
Later, when the Iraq War continued, they finally failed to expel the US garrison, purchased a batch of US m1a2 tanks, and withdrew from OPEC, providing the Americans with more quantities of crude oil, curbing the rise in international oil prices, and alleviating the Americans' oil crisis. In the end, the two sides still maintained a good relationship on the surface.
However, the Saudi royal family reduced its investment in the United States, and most of the investment funds entered the European market.
Now, Saudi Arabia purchases the FFL from China through Qatar, which is a very good signal.
"Yes, only for such a reason can Qatar purchase so many fighter jets. They should give up relying on the United States completely. Americans are not reliable, especially now that China's monthly crude oil imports are growing. The Chinese market potential is even greater than that of the United States!" Liu Yijiu was a little excited.
Seize the opportunity to allow China's top high-end equipment to enter the Middle East market, which will give China a continuous opportunity to expand this market.
Fighters are just the same product in the arms market.
Others were also a little excited.
The more weapons and equipment are produced, the lower the cost.
At present, there is basically no possibility of another world war. Once it explodes, a huge number of conventional weapons are basically just decorations. When the world war is exploded, countries throw nuclear warheads to each other, and everyone dies together, and they even fuck a conventional war.
Small-scale conventional wars are not used much, and wars like Iraq are difficult to reappear.
"If this is true, there are many rich countries in the entire Arab world! Many of their countries need to upgrade and update their weapons and equipment. The Americans are selling them the export version of f16 at this time..." Chen Di's eyes shining.
If we can win the demand in the Middle East, even just a small part, it will be a very considerable data.
Xiaolong, but he created it with his team.
The performance is indeed not as advanced as the J-10, and it is even worse than the J-11. The J-11 is so expensive that it sells hundreds of aircraft. The J-11 is so cost-effective, so the J-11 is attractive enough.
"What a pity, even if we get orders now, production is not so easy, and profits cannot be distributed by us..." Yin Xianping knew Liu Yijiu's thoughts, and he reminded Liu Yijiu.
The military executives have changed a group of people over the years.
The autonomy of the Ninth Academy is no longer as high as before. The military leaders may not agree to the large-scale export of weapons and equipment.
"But we can't watch such a good opportunity be missed!" Liu Yijiu Shen suddenly became dim.
Once they saw the opportunity before, they would never miss it. Even if they didn’t have it, they would create opportunities.
Now, it is no longer the era before.
Many technologies are indeed top-notch. Even if you are not worried about technical leaks, you are worried that countries that foreign countries regard China as a potential enemy will infer China's true military strength based on these technical levels, which will not be of much help to national defense.
"How could I miss this project? Pakistan has invested in this regard. Although our military has the right to speak, the restrictions will be much smaller." Wang Shunyi, who has never spoken, reminded Liu Yijiu, "Pakistan will not say that this was developed by them by themselves, so the reliability will naturally be poor. In the international market, we only rely on the Longwei tanks to make a name for the Iran-Iraq War and the Iraq War. China did not deny that the J-11 of the Air Force was created by itself, but it did not admit it.
This alone should be of great help to promote the Xiaolong.
The American F15 did not perform as well in the Iraq War. The so-called world's number one fighter was beaten up a lot, and the same was true for light fighters like the F16. Naturally, the difficulty of selling is not so easy.
The performance of the MiG29 is also not dazzling enough. Although the Iraqi Air Force has achieved results relying on the advanced performance of missiles, no one has announced this secret. At the same time, the number of J-11 shot down by the Iraqi Air Force is much smaller...
"I hope. I think I should communicate with the military about this matter. I hope they can cooperate with Pakistan to win the Middle East market!" Liu Yijiu was a little helpless.
"We should not communicate with the senior management, let Pakistan communicate, which is more convenient than us." Wang Shunyi shook his head. Liu Yijiu's thoughts were clear. Everyone wants China Construction to stand tall in the world. It is best that all countries that cannot design and produce weapons and equipment themselves use Chinese goods, and they also hope that even those countries that can produce and manufacture themselves use Chinese goods.
The problem is that, many times, ideals and facts are completely different.
They can no longer interfere in these matters, and must maintain the purity of the Ninth Academy as a pure military scientific research unit.
This is also the decision made by the entire Ninth Academy Management Committee to reposition the Ninth Academy and formulate a new development direction in the face of the current new situation.
If they take the initiative to sell arms, the most advanced ones can be imagined.
The Xiaolong project has one advantage, that is, Pakistan's investment is undertaken by the Ninth Institute, which is also a new way to raise funds for self-financing projects. China can completely use other countries with ideas but cannot open new equipment to open more projects.
If the senior management prevents large-scale sales in Pakistan, who will do such a thing in the future?
"So, the best way for us is to wait. Doing nothing is the best." Wang Shunyi and others considered more in this regard than Liu Yijiu.
Ginger is so spicy.
"Then wait. If we miss this opportunity, we will not be so easy to enter the international high-end arms market." Liu Yijiu felt a deep sense of powerlessness. These things did not feel like they were all in control, and they were very unhappy.
He hopes that the country's military industry will be stronger. If it doesn't sell, it will be too slow to rely on China to invest money by itself.
