Chapter 717: The Favored Fifth-Generation Aircraft
"The country that is on the list of mercenaries for careful transactions has also sent representatives this time, hoping to be able to buy our refurbished equipment, including fighters and strategic bombers, such as MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters, in the number of one hundred, MiG-29 upgraded fighters for ten million dollars each, Su-27 upgraded fighters for ten million dollars each, and Tu-16 upgraded strategic bombers twenty million dollars each."
"The other side also wants to buy four new Kilo-class conventionally powered submarines, each paying a price of 100 million US dollars, and second-hand submarines are also acceptable after upgrading, and if they are nuclear submarines, it is better, and the price is negotiable."
"In addition, the other side also asked us to sell two Kara-class anti-submarine cruisers, the 9,700-ton Tashkent and Tallinn, and the 3,600-ton Agile and Questo, two Krivac-class missile frigates, to them after modernization and refitting, and are also ready to order four modernized missile destroyers, equipped with anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles capable of carrying out long-range strikes, as well as anti-aircraft missiles." Marcus said with a smile.
Wu Chen also felt a headache about the problems of this country, the key is that this is a country that goes all the way to the black, and is not afraid of sanctions or fighting. Strictly speaking, there is no direct conflict of interest between the two sides, on the contrary, there is a trade cooperative relationship, and people do not provoke mercenary regiments, and sincerely take money and resources for equipment, and it is not appropriate not to sell them.
"It stands to reason that all the other party asks to buy are conventional weapons and equipment, and except for the Kilo-class submarines, they are all second-hand, which will not pose too much threat, but the problem is that they want to buy too much, and the impact is not very good, so far the United States has only relaxed economic sanctions, and weapons and equipment transactions are absolutely not allowed, you still have to communicate with the US government about this matter, at least don't cause misunderstandings, this year is a very critical time period, don't make mistakes, and lead to the previous efforts in vain." Wu Chen thought for a while and said.
According to the trajectory of history in memory, there are more than four months before the war on terror that will shock the world, and the mercenary corps have done a lot of preliminary work in Afghanistan in order to be able to reap the benefits of this war, up to hundreds of billions of dollars. Wu Chen couldn't stop this war, but it was easy to use the advantage of his soul to travel through time and space to interfere with the progress of the war.
By financing the presidential election, he got on good terms with the president of the United States, paid billions of dollars, invested in the secretary of defense in advance, provided the prerequisites for participation in this war, and had close ties with the bigwigs of the American military, laying the groundwork for obtaining projects and orders, and everything was ready only to the east wind, and as long as the war broke out, the mercenaries would get the most benefit.
Therefore, the qualifications of the partners of the Ministry of Defense must not be lost, and even if they do not do this business, or even refuse to cooperate with this country, they must not offend the Americans. Wu Chen is responsible for the future of the Golden Triangle Federation, for the inhabitants of this land, for the millions of soldiers of the mercenary corps, and for all the member countries of the Golden Triangle Federation International Cooperation Organization, and he cannot make a hasty decision on such a sensitive matter.
"Being able to inform the US government of such classified information in advance and solicit our opinions, the presidential office and the Ministry of Defense highly appreciate the practice of the mercenary corps, this is the obligation and attitude that strategic partners should fulfill, and the opinion of the presidential office and the Ministry of Defense is that this batch of weapons and equipment belongs to the former Soviet Union, there is no American weapons and equipment, and all of them are conventional types, and the US government will not interfere in this." The deputy secretary of the Air Department relayed the opinion of the US administration.
The Su-27 Flanker and the MiG-29 Fulcrum are both very classic models of the former Soviet Union, both in terms of performance and combat effectiveness, which are also counted today, but for the US government, a hundred fighters can play a very limited role, and the South Korean Air Force has more than 200 F-15 Eagle fighters and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters alone, and there is no need to be afraid at all, not to mention the US military stationed in South Korea.
If the military strength of the North Korea is improved to a limited extent, the South Korean government will naturally ask the US government for help, buy more advanced fighters and equipment, and the dependence will be stronger, followed by Japan, compared with the North Korea, which is barely self-preservation, Japan is the most threatening country, and the US government hopes to compress Japan's development space from all aspects, and this mercenary deal seems to be in line with the interests of the United States.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our Shield Defender-2 single-seat, single-engine stealth supersonic all-weather multi-function fighter, with an empty weight of 14.5 tons, is made of all-titanium alloy, adopts a one-to-two structure, and has two lift fans. The maximum take-off weight is 36.5 tons, the maximum flight speed is Mach 1.9, the practical ceiling is 19,000 kilometers, the range is 1,500 nautical miles, and the combat radius is 600 nautical miles. ”
"This belongs to the vertical take-off and landing version of the fifth-generation aircraft, with a stealth design, a fuselage length of 17.8 meters, a wingspan of 12.7 meters, equipped with an airborne phased array radar, can use the conventional six external attachment points, can also use two magazines in the belly, the left magazine can use three advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles or air-to-ground missiles, the right magazine can use three joint direct attack ammunition or laser-guided bombs, equipped with a 30 mm cannon, with 500 rounds of ammunition."
"The carrier-based version of the Shield Defender-2 single-seat twin-engine supersonic all-weather multi-role fighter, using two Titan-2 twin-rotor afterburner turbofan engines, thrust vector technology, empty weight of 19 tons, maximum take-off weight of 35 tons, length of 23.1 meters, wingspan of 16.5 meters, thrust-to-weight ratio of 10, maximum range of 3,000 kilometers, combat radius of 1,200 kilometers, practical ceiling of 18,000 kilometers, using stealth design and titanium alloy construction."
"This carrier-based aircraft has three modes: air-to-air, air-to-ground and air-to-ship, two rotating pylons of magazines, and can use six over-the-horizon advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, twelve various air-to-surface missiles, joint direct attack munitions, conventional guided bombs or cluster bombs, and a certain ratio."
"More importantly, the carrier-based aircraft can launch two of the latest air-to-ship missiles, in view of the protection of the interests of customers, I can only say simple data, this air-to-ship missile weighs 1.5 tons, has a range of 150 kilometers, is made of all-titanium alloy, belongs to supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, and can also be launched on the ground."
"As for the land-based version of the fighter, it is similar to the structure of the carrier-based aircraft, but with the addition of external attachment points, the bomb load has increased by 30 percent, and the speed has increased to Mach 2.1, which will not be listed here." The general designer of the project said to those present.
At the request of the military leaders of various countries, Marcas held a simple promotion meeting of the fifth-generation aircraft in the lobby of the leisure center of the air force test base, and the representatives who were able to participate were all customers with strong purchase intentions. Representatives of the US military and several military-industrial giants were also specially invited to attend the meeting as a sign of respect for the superpower.
