Chapter 658: Saudi Arabia! Big dogs! (Page 1/1)
The Middle East, the land of right and wrong in the true sense of the word, has been the scene of intense conflicts since the discovery of a large amount of oil, with wars never ending and killings taking place almost every moment.
Going to this place of right and wrong at the beginning of next year as a senior tactical instructor seems to be a bit interesting.
Regarding how the country thinks, Zhou Hai doesn't care, he only cares, why did he suddenly go to serve as a senior tactical instructor?
The senior tactical instructor, completely different from the basic flight instructor of Argentina, has a strong emphasis on offensive and combat.
"Big dog." Lin Jian said with a smile, spit out words that do not belong to a country but accurately describe a country.
Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Big dog?!" ”
Big dogs!
This oriental word, which evolved from the Good gold customer, is above the earth and can only be owned by one country - Saudi Arabia, which has oil at home.
What is a mine at home?
People have a vital energy source in the development of the entire human civilization - oil.
With oil, although he doesn't have much say in the circle of friends in the world, there are two words on his head, money!
As a big dog recognized by the whole world and a tyrant in the Middle East circle of friends, Saudi Arabia has a rich label that does not mix any water.
When buying military weapons and equipment, as long as you look at it, you can wave it casually, and use 100 million yuan as the basic unit of measurement, and mark the dollar at the back.
Arms sales orders of several hundred million dollars are like mosquito legs, and arms sales orders of several billion dollars are as easy as eating and drinking, and the super arms sales order of $60 billion, which set a record high 10 years ago, is unequivocally placed.
Saudi Arabia has hundreds of billions of dollars in national defense system and military weaponry, and last year it ranked third in the world in terms of defense and military spending with $86 billion, and won the first place in per capita military spending.
It's just that if you have money, you have money, and the military equipment you buy is basically a castrated version, and the performance of various types of fighters equipped by the Air Force is far more castrated than that of the FC-20X 'Qingjiao', which is also a castrated version.
Slaughtering a big dog, this sentence has made many countries drool, but unfortunately, Saudi Arabia's large-scale arms sales and procurement are exclusive to US military enterprises.
Zhou Hai had to admit that Saudi Arabia, a big dog family, was indeed rich, but what made him a little puzzled was, how could he go to Saudi Arabia to serve as a senior tactical instructor?
Could it be that Saudi Arabia also bought its own fighter jets?
It seems that this is possible.
Due to the confidentiality regulations, Zhou Hai did not take the initiative to ask why he went to Saudi Arabia.
"The air battle in South America shot down two typhoons in one dozen and two, which made the international arms sales market respond enthusiastically, coupled with the high cost performance, advanced performance, stability and reliability, and now the sales prospects are very good."
Lin Jian smiled, tasted a sip of bamboo leaves, looked at Zhou Hai, the hero, and slowly said about the situation during this time: "Saudi Arabia secretly sent people to contact us, and after half a year of investigation and negotiation, it secretly signed a fighter arms sales and procurement plan, bought 48 FC-20X 'Qingjiao', and replaced it with a common data link and weapon interface, with a unit price of 55 million US dollars, plus ground crew training, etc., with a total order value of 2.5 billion US dollars." ”
As Zhou Hai guessed, after the outbreak of the air war in South America, the FC-20X 'Frog' carefully built by Academician Yang Wei became an instant hit, and its limelight and influence easily overwhelmed the famous typhoon, which made many international customers with procurement qualifications shine.
Saudi Arabia is one of them.
Because, the Saudi Air Force is equipped with 72 Typhoon fighters, the second batch of 48, the third batch of 24 production aircraft, as a result, when the Saudi Air Force pilots are flying the Typhoon into the blue sky, the news of the air battle in South America came, and it suddenly made people's hands and feet cold.
The FC-20X 'Qingjiao' developed by Huaxia defeated the typhoon and won the air battle, and this news was enough to shock many people.
But it's not too late, and the most important thing is that it's still a dozen or two!
is the same three generations and a half machine, and the typhoon that was blown into the sky was just taken off by the unknown frog Jiao, revealing his true face, which was unbearable to such a point.
How to play?
How else to play?
The Saudi Air Force didn't care about the reaction of other people when they learned the news, they only knew that the typhoon that looked quite good at their own house seemed to be useless, so they thought about it for a while, and hurriedly secretly sent a military delegation to Huaxia to discuss the purchase of Qingjiao fighters.
First, I want to find out the truth.
Second, there is indeed the idea of wanting to buy.
As a result, when I arrived at the destination, I was constantly lured and flirted by Chengfei's staff, coupled with the 'Red Cat' airborne AESA active phased array radar and the third-generation helmet display system, advanced avionics, extremely high maneuverability, and the reliable S-10A 'Taihang' with independent intellectual property rights, I was immediately attracted.
The comprehensive performance parameters on paper have been able to press the F-15C equipped with it on the ground and rub it, slapping the Typhoon fighter hard.
In fact, after being piloted and tested by Saudi pilots, it was found that the performance was indeed excellent.
The performance is not counted, the flirtation of Cheng Fei and the Air Force is the most deadly, the sale of fighters does not contain any additional things, you can buy whatever you want, except for the things on the arms export ban list, buy them all, and the price is affordable.
Heart!
Sometimes, love at first sight is just that.
Originally, Saudi Arabia, a big dog who had mixed up with the military project of the FC-31 fourth-generation stealth fighter behind the back of the United States behind his back, was completely moved.
The performance is better than that of the Typhoon and the F-15C, the price is still low, and it has been tested in actual combat and has been affirmed, which is a big bargain!
Not to buy is simply sorry for the great Allah!
Moreover, the F-35 "Lightning" that I have in mind is not bought at all, Shen Fei's FC-31 fourth-generation stealth aircraft project is still early, and as for the F-22 "Raptor", I am not even allowed to look at it in reality, and I can only watch it through TV and the Internet, which is a shame.
Then, an ulterior act happened in secret, and the Saudi military delegation threw itself into the arms of Loma and signed an arms sales order for 48 Frogs.
Hearing this situation and the fighter offer, Zhou Hai basically sorted out the situation and was stunned: "55 million US dollars, Saudi Arabia is willing to agree?" ”
A single aircraft costs $55 million, which is a full 10 million more expensive than the Qingjiao sold to Argentina, and it is almost enough to catch up with the ex-factory price of the J-10D 'Fire Dragon'.
"Saudi Arabia doesn't know the price between us and Argentina, anyway, they don't have to pay in yuan, and just like that, the generals of the Saudi delegation think we are too good and good friends."
Lin Jian shrugged his shoulders, recalled the scene of the secret negotiation not long ago, and couldn't help but smile: "How about it, if you go, it's easy to arrange, the whole mission will take about two months, and then fly directly over, through Pakistani airspace, the flight mission subsidy is 8,000 US dollars, the flight subsidy is 1,000 US dollars per hour, and the instructor's basic salary is 300 US dollars a day, and the US dollars are paid." ”
"Go, of course, I'm so poor now, I have more than a thousand cash on my body, or RMB." Zhou Hai's eyes lit up, and without thinking, he nodded and replied.
