The first update

"Speaking of Deputy Minister Myratt, you are embarrassed to bring it up at this price? That's not what you said at the wine table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info also said that this is a project of up to 1.3 billion dollars, and India will definitely not disadvantage the Soviet Union. ”

As soon as Minister Yazov came up, he asked the other party with a serious expression about the list offer, although he may not have drunk less than Deputy Minister Mailet last night, but Yazov has been able to keep a clear head and full of combat effectiveness. India, on the other hand, is a bit sluggish, with the booze they let go of last night almost causing them to vomit bile, and it also led to a representative of the Ministry of Defense being hospitalized with alcoholism. In this regard, the Ministry of Defense of the USSR expressed its deep condolences. This is undoubtedly bad news for the delegation of the Indian Ministry of Defence. What's more, their physical condition is even worse than they imagined.

Yazov continued to accuse the other party, "The price of each Su-30MKI is $33 million, but you want to use $27 million to get an advanced fighter?" IMHO, did Deputy Minister Myrat really think that Soviet fighters were selling cabbage? $33 million, not a penny less. This is already the cost price of the USSR, and any further price reduction will be equivalent to selling to you at a loss. What's more, you only purchased five fighters, and you want to reduce the price of five fighters on a large scale? ”

"But......" Deputy Minister Myratt wanted to say something, but was refuted by the menacing Yazov.

"But that's not what you said at the wine table last night, when you said that India was very much in favor of selling fighter jets for 33 million, and even wanted to give an extra 2 million dollars. You said this to me personally. ”

Minister Myratt touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, he didn't know if he had said these words last night, he only remembered that he was carried into the hotel in a daze in the end, and he was not the only one who was carried in.

Of course, Minister Myrat did not say these words, these are all Yazov's mental deterrence, first to crush the other party in momentum, and then to further threaten him. This approach was tried and tested by the Soviet Union.

Yazov insisted on the price and never let go, "33 million US dollars is our bottom line, and the Soviet Union will not back down any less." We would rather re-select our customers than sell our fighters at a loss. ”

The previous efforts to entertain the Indian delegation were to firmly trap their gaze and give them the illusion that the Su-30MKI must be bought.

Minister Myrath fell silent, they really wanted to equip more fighters for less, but Russia's insistence on saying it was a bit of a dilemma. Eventually, he came up with a compromise.

The Merrat Su-30MKI uses an improved and upgraded vector nozzle engine of the AL-31F and uses a phased array radar with a maximum detection range of 150 km. The range, bomb load, ammunition and other functions are the same as those of the Su-30MKK. Because the thrust of the engine is much larger than that of the Su-30MKK, and with a vector nozzle, the thrust is increased by more than 20% compared with the basic engine when the fighter climbs, sharp turns and other difficult actions, so the thrust-to-weight ratio is much higher than that of the Su-30MKK, and its flight performance and maneuverability are much better than the Su-30MKK, plus the radar detection range is 50 kilometers longer than the Su-30MKK, which has the advantage of being the first to detect and strike first, making it a multiplier of combat power. Therefore, authoritative military experts from all over the world unanimously believe that one Su-30MKI is equivalent to the air combat capability of two Su-30MKK.

However, because Yanayev insisted that the Su-30MKI must be independently developed this time and refused to cooperate with foreign capital, the initiative in negotiations is now completely in the hands of the Soviet Union.

"We demand that the Su-30MKI be bought by India alone, and that the Soviet Union not be exported. In other words, in addition to your own equipment, you can only export to India. "Minister Myratt made such a slightly excessive request.

"We refuse." Minister Yazov waved his hand, and he finally understood why Yanayev did not let the military industry get involved in the storm of joint ventures in the first place, in order to maintain the independence of research and development. For Yanayev, foreign investment should only be brought in if there is a lack of funds or if the other party has a unique technology, otherwise development will be stifled.

The Indian Air Force is equipped with a limited number of fighter jets, only 140 aircraft, which will lead to a small sales of Su-30MKI fighters, high development costs and costs, and the cost of each aircraft after apportionment will be more than 30 million US dollars. Even more exaggerated. The Soviet Union sold this fighter on the principle of opening up sales channels, how could it be possible for India to have exclusive possession.

Yazov said righteously, "If India monopolizes the Su-30MKI fighter, then the Soviet Union will raise the price to 50 million US dollars each, after all, for the Soviet Union, small profits and quick sales are the principle." But from the conversation of Minister Myrat, we can see that India is not very interested in wanting to buy our fighters. So in this case, we thought that the USSR should look for new customers. ”

Minister Myratt stopped smiling and asked with a somewhat serious expression, "Who are you going to sell to?" ”

Minister Yazov almost didn't think about it before he named a country, "Pakistan." ”

Myrath took a deep breath, which was embarrassing.

"Pakistan has always been a loyal customer of France, China and the United States, and they have far more fighter jets than India, which is a lack of advanced fighter jets. If we sell the Su-30MKI to Pakistan, it may significantly ease the pressure on the Pakistani Air Force. ”

Minister Yazov said this with a very calm smile all the time, as if he were speaking something innocuous and insignificant. But these words made Myratt nervous.

"And China, right? If the Su-30MKI is recommended to China and deployed in the southwest region, it will be a lot of pressure for India. ”

If the Soviet Union really recommended the Su-30MKI to China and Pakistan, regardless of whether the two countries would buy it, just thinking about equipping Pakistan with such a fighter is panicking.

The Soviet Union has successfully poured the Ecstasy soup, and now Myrat's mind is full of thinking about how to become the only user of the Su-30MKI. And the fatal blow of the USSR

For India, Pakistan, the McMahon Line and the Asekhin region are eternal wounds.

Thinking of this, Minister Myrath finally relented, and his tone softened, hoping that Minister Yazov would think about it again, "That, I think the price of the Su-30MKI fighter, we can discuss it again, isn't it?" Minister Yazov. (To be continued.) )
