The second more

"One thing is the same thing, the price of the Su-30MKI is one thing, the customers of arms sales to the USSR are another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So what does Minister Myratt want to discuss with us now? Yazov's tone became a little impatient, and he looked like he could end the negotiations at any moment, which made Myrat feel that the atmosphere in the room was getting more and more tense.

Myratt's lips were a little chapped, his Adam's apple rolled a little, and he said slowly, "I want to discuss the price of the fighter under the price." ”

Yanayev replied with a straight face, "Very well, then I will tell you that the price of the Su-30MKI is three and three million dollars, and we will not drop a penny." If India feels that this price is suitable, then we can continue to talk, if it feels unsuitable, then we terminate the negotiations on the Su-30MKI, and we will try to recommend this fighter to Pakistan, how? Minister Myratt. ”

"Wait." Myrat, apparently not wanting to hear the name of the country anymore, quoted a price that Yazov was quite satisfied with, "three million dollars, no more." ”

"Three two million eight thousand dollars, I can't be less." Yazov retorted.

"Three two and a half million." "This is the upper limit of the Indian offer, if you still insist, then we can only terminate this deal." ”

"32.5 million deals." Yazov also takes it when he sees it, and he will not force India to make difficult choices. What's more, 32.5 million is already the limit of the Indian price that Yazov could have predicted.

However, the number of Nanuccika-class missile boats purchased was reduced from the original five to three, which was considered the retaliation of Minister Myrat for the Soviet Union's refusal to lower prices. However, the Nanuchka class was really a small benefit for the Soviet Union. The 1134A Kresta II class cruisers are the top priority of the Navy's arms sales.

This time India wants to prepare for the purchase of an improved version of the 1134A Kresta II class cruiser as the lead anti-submarine ship of the Eastern Fleet of the Indian Ocean Navy.

Yazov was very confident that he would receive the order for an improved version of the 1134A, since the day before the negotiations between the USSR and the delegation of the Indian Ministry of Defense, the Soviet delegation had already gone to China for a state visit. Although the Soviet Union's visit to India for negotiations in Beijing, China, gave rise to a conspiratorial attitude, the Moscow Foreign Ministry insisted that it was a regular visit.

However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has concealed one thing, that is, the content of this military visit and exchange of the Chinese side. The Soviet delegation did not come with a peaceful olive branch, and their other purpose was to recommend Soviet attack submarines to Pakistan through the Chinese channel.

Red Warsaw Song, 636 Modified Kilo-class submarine.

It is currently the largest class of submarines exported by Russia. Known for its powerful firepower and low noise, the Kilo-class modification is the best of the diesel-electric submarines and one of the quietest diesel-electric submarines in the world. After the Ruby Design Bureau refurbished the 636 Kilo-class submarine in 1991, it further improved its avionics system in an attempt to broaden the sales channels of the Type 636. After all, seeing the boom in the sale of Soviet ships, submarines are also trying to open up sales channels.

This was the most successful conventional type of submarine developed by the Soviet Navy, which carried out anti-ship and anti-submarine operations mainly in shallow waters near the sea.

Of course, the Pakistan Navy is also in dire need of new combat submarines, and now they have only five old French submarines, three "Agosta-90B" imported from the 90s of the last century and two "Agosta-70" imported from the late 70s of the last century. At this time, China's foreign trade version of the S20 diesel-electric submarine has not yet been developed, so Pakistan is of course very happy to accept the new submarine sent to the door.

But there is another problem, the relationship between the Soviet Union and Pakistan. The traditional relationship between Pakistan and the Soviet Union was very unfriendly, as early as the 1980s, because the Soviet Union attacked Afghanistan and Pakistan had a medium-scale air battle in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area, when Soviet fighters were shot down by F16s that Pakistan had just purchased from the United States. Since then, the Soviet Union has imposed a severe arms embargo and military sanctions on Pakistan until 1991, when the situation began to change.

The Soviet Union regarded India as its most important military partner in both the southern and western parts of Asia, which coincided with the geo-political interests of the Soviet Union due south. India's own lack of a complete military industry and high-tech R&D system is also doomed to rely on the military support of technologically advanced countries. As a result, the Soviet Union assumed an important role in arming India, especially since the Soviet Union kept India a relatively strong naval and air force. In order to balance the control of NATO members in recent years over the Indian Ocean, which is also the geopolitical south gate of the Soviet Union.

At the same time, Pakistan has traditionally had very friendly relations with Turkey and Saudi Arabia, the two Middle Eastern powers, the former being the Soviet Union's long-standing rival and the biggest obstacle to the Soviet navy's protrusion of the Mediterranean Sea to the southwest, and Turkey holding a strategic stronghold from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. Saudi Arabia has been catering to the global energy strategic interests of the United States in the international energy market, which is opposed to the interests of the Soviet Union, another major oil exporter, while Turkey and Saudi Arabia have also participated in the Muslin Separatist Group in the Caucasus against Moscow. Pakistan, on the other hand, has developed a long-standing military and political relationship with Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

Therefore, the Soviet Union's foreign repressive policy, among the developing countries, has long tended to target the three Sunni Muslim countries, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan, which are the tridents of the pro-American Muslim countries, while on the other hand, they are vigorously arming India, and are committed to making India's military power comparable to the combined armed forces of the three countries.

The Soviets believed that the sale of one or two Warsaw Songs would not affect the development of the whole situation, but would make India more vigilant. And it was quietly sold by the Chinese side.

Of course, India must have noticed the movements of the Soviet Union, so it will include the improved version of the 1134A anti-submarine ship in the key cooperation project, but Yazov hid one thing from Minister Myrat, what he saw during the actual visit was the latest Soviet version of the 1134BF anti-submarine ship, not the weaker version of the 1134A anti-submarine ship. This is undoubtedly a dark loss for India, whose confidence is high.

But Indians, accustomed to losing money, don't care about this money, and they spend far more money on Russian arms purchases than they think.

"1134A anti-submarine ship, we are willing to bid this amount."

Minister Myratt cautiously stretched out five fingers, for fear of being rejected by Minister Yazov again. (To be continued.) )
