Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh trade-in

Faced with this expected hot scene, Director Gao and Dong Feng (who made a mistake in the previous chapter and turned it into Cai Siqiang, probably Dong Feng) laughed so hard that they could not stop. They tried their best to arrange such a program, just to achieve this shocking result, and to promote the new Xiaolong and J-10P. The customers who came today are traditional Chinese customers. As long as they impressed them, Director Gao believes that orders will be continuous.

Although these countries have a large gap between the rich and the poor, even if each company gives orders of dozens of aircraft, it is sold on such a large scale. In the past, except for Pakistan, the man who is a good friend, it was only by chance that he would sell it to Persians to scale.

However, after today's unique arrangement, Director Gao believes that all the customers present will not miss such an excellent third-generation model. To be honest, when the new Xiaolong and J-10P prototypes were first released, Director Gao was a little unbelievable about the amazing effect under this new design and production system. The high quality of the two prototypes after the initial test flight made Director Gao feel extremely confident, so he coordinated with Dong Feng to install the avionics system and radar system and then conducted this unprecedented bold test flight.

However, Director Gao and Dong Feng smiled a little too early. When they politely pushed their enthusiastic customers to the leaders from the General Staff to deal with it, Major General Qian Shengli, the head of foreign military aid sales who came to participate in the test flight, gave these enthusiastic customers an ambiguous answer very diplomatically. "Thank you very much for all the distinguished guests for attending our test flight. I believe you have a further understanding of the new models we launched. This is the latest achievement of our military industry department. Thank you very much for your recognition of these two products. We will consider your needs in national defense." Qian Shengli said with a smile to the representatives of the air force of various countries who rushed to him.

"But this time it's a test flight, and it's really a test flight and has entered mass production. I think Director Gao and others will need some time to improve it. So don't worry, everyone." Qian Shengli tactfully expressed the meaning that the Chinese military will not sell these two new models for the time being.

Director Gao and Dong Feng were originally smiling, but after Qian Shengli said this, the two of them smiled a little unnatural immediately. What does Qian Shengli mean? They don’t have such a short way to get people and money? They can make customers rush to come to the door and are pushed out, and they don’t do business like this.

However, Cheng Fei had no say in whether or not to sell or how much this kind of military product was sold. It was decided that the General Staff and diplomatic departments had to negotiate and talk. Faced with a group of foreign customers, Director Gao would not raise any opinions at this time. He and Dong Feng still sent the guests away very enthusiastically.

Of course, the publicity materials for these two new models were all asked by these enthusiastic customers. They all need to report the latest situation to their respective domestic countries immediately and prepare to obtain these two fighter jets through diplomatic efforts, because judging from what they saw on the spot, these two fighter jets are the best third- and a half-generation models they can afford now.

The new Xiaolong price is about US$30 million, and the J-10P price is no more than US$50 million. This price is almost half of the competitors among the third-generation and a half-generation fighter jets. Such excellent cost-effectiveness is very urgently needed by the Persians and Pakistan, who are now in a tight war, even countries like Myanmar and Bangladesh, which are not very urgently needed, want to purchase some to improve their air power and offset the huge threat brought by the large-scale procurement of American fighters by the Afghan Air Force.

"General Gao, General Dong" Qian Shengli found the two bosses, Director Gao and Dong Feng, after Director Gao and his friends bid farewell to foreign guests. "To be honest, I was very suspicious of your arrangements before coming, because the cycle of developing a new model this time is too short, and I was worried about your test flights in front of foreign experts, but I never expected that you would actually put a satellite this time." Qian Shengli praised sincerely.

"I didn't expect your new model to be so mature, and I didn't expect these two new models to have such excellent performance. Congratulations on your breakthrough again. Personally, the two new models you developed should not be used for foreign trade exports, because from the perspective of air-optimal combat, the maneuverability and radar of these two models have surpassed our current J-10A/B or J-11A/B fighter jets, and can pose a huge threat to our current fighter jets."

"But today you have used these two models as the main products and promoted them to the foreign military. Now these representatives of the foreign military know that these two fighter jets are exported products, which makes our work very passive." Qian Shengli said with a wry smile at the end.

Before joining the General Staff, Qian Shengli was born in the Air Force, and he has been an ordinary pilot to the commander of the main division of the Air Force. Of course, he is very clear about the current situation of the domestic fighter jets. Judging from the situation he saw on the scene and the simple performance information given by Cheng Fei, the performance of these two prototypes of Cheng Fei is completely beyond imagination.

"Minister Qian," said Director Gao, who was so amused when he heard that Qian Shengli politely refused to the customer, and he couldn't help but explain with a hint of laughter, "Although these two fighters are stronger than the old J-10 and J-11, they are not our best third-generation fighter now. Our J-10D is more powerful than the J-10P, so there is no need to worry about this problem at all."

"The engine thrust is 10 tons, the afterburner thrust is 11.8 tons, and the thrust-to-weight ratio reaches 9.3," Qian Shengli shook his head, expressing his reservations about Director Gao's statement. "You have also used phased array radars for two fighters. Lao Gao, can you do better on this basis? If I remember correctly, the engines of the world's mainstream third-generation and a half-generation fighter jets are not as strong as such, and the phased array radar you use is actually an improved version of the US F-35 using AN/AGP81. When will Chengfei produce fighter jets with these characteristics not be the best?"

Director Gao couldn't explain the skepticism of Qian Shengli, and he felt helpless for a while. However, this was normal. Cheng Fei has developed too fast since the Shenlong Plan hosted by Duke. The progress of the entire aviation industry from design to manufacturing core foundations has completely surpassed the imagination of outsiders. Engines, avionics, materials and manufacturing processes have all achieved overflow. He is not the core backbone and senior boss on the R&D front, and he can't imagine the current development status of domestic industry.

Although Qian Shengli is also a senior supervisor of the General Staff, he is obviously not qualified to understand the detailed progress of the Shenlong plan.

"Minister Qian, our new J-10D main fighter will be tested in a few days. At that time, Minister Qian will be asked to take out valuable time to guide him." Dong Feng's mind was still fast. Although he had not spoken, he saw clearly that the crux of the problem now is that Minister Qian was worried that the new Xiaolong and J-10P were too excellent and were not suitable for export. As long as he was convinced that Cheng Fei had a better main fighter, he could dispel his concern.

DSM is now a strategic partner with Chengfei, and equipment such as J-10D avionics and radar are also provided by DSM. Of course, Dong Feng is also very clear about the every move of this new fighter. In fact, J-10D has conducted multiple test flights on the old WS-10C and has performed well. Now, after the new WS-10D engine is produced in small batches, the new engine has been replaced and is ready to undergo a test flight before finalization.

"Mr. Gao, do you really have a new fighter that is better than the J-10P?" Qian Shengli heard Dong Feng say this and then began to believe what Director Gao just said, but he really couldn't imagine that Cheng Fei was now able to develop so many new models at the same time, the new Xiaolong, J-10P, and J-10D. According to what Qian Shengli learned, Cheng Fei is still conducting research on the fourth generation of J-20B aircraft. When will the research and development of new fighter be launched in batches like making mobile phones?

However, Director Gao, who understood it, quickly made Qian Shengli understand that Cheng Fei was not talking big.

"The thrust-to-weight ratio of WS-10D actually reaches 10, which allows J-10D to achieve supersonic cruise." Qian Shengli looked at the performance parameters of J-10D and was shocked again. "The detection distance of Thor phased array radar to air targets reached 200 kilometers, and the RCS area of ​​J-10D itself is less than 1 square meter. Oh my God, when did we have such a powerful third-generation fighter?" Qian Shengli was like a dream when he saw the complete performance parameters of J-10D for the first time. Compared with the fourth-generation aircraft he knew, the J-10D is very close in other aspects except for the gap in stealth performance.

If you use J-10D compared with J-10P, Qian Shengli immediately felt that J-10P was simply a year behind. No wonder Cheng Fei used them as the main force in exporting.

Compared with the US F-15E Silent Eagle, the performance of the J-10D is still a gap in missile load, and it can be said to be a complete victory in other aspects. In terms of air combat, the J-10D has completely surpassed the US F-15E Silent Eagle, and has great advantages over the latest improved fighter jets of European typhoons and gusts.

With the unique radar intelligent sharing and firepower intelligent distribution functions, the J-10D air-optimal combat performance exceeds that of these main third-generation and a half models in the United States and Europe.

"Director Qian, because of the large changes in J-10D, the entire aerodynamic appearance has been fully optimized. In addition, Dushi Heavy Industry's new composite aviation materials and new engines are used, so the R&D cycle is longer than the new J-10P. The fuselage of the two fighters is not much different from the original models. We can transform the old J-10B and upgrade the radar system and engine to a new generation of fighters by replacing the avionics system, radar system and engine to a new generation of fighters." Director Gao explained Cheng Fei's plans to Qian Shengli.

"So on the new Xiaolong, we provide upgrade services to the outside world, and on the other hand, we can directly provide new models; while the J-10P is mainly transformed and sold from our existing J-10B fighter jets. For each transformation and upgrading, one old J-10B fighter jet can be sold, and the profits obtained can be completely replaced by a new J-10D."

This is Cheng Fei's wishful thinking that moved the military. They chose the J-10B with a lot of room for improvement. They took a fancy to the huge number of J-10Bs equipped by the Air Force. If the J-10D is fully equipped, the status of these fighter jets will be a bit embarrassing. However, through the development of J-10P, most of the J-10Bs can be upgraded to J-10P for sale, and only a few million US dollars of upgrade and transformation costs are required. Although the cost of J-10D has increased a lot, it cannot reach US$40 million.

In this way, the Air Force only needs to pay the upgrade fee of J-10B to obtain the new J-10D with a linear increase in combat power.

Regarding such a perfect plan, Qian Shengli has nothing to say, so that Chengfei's foreign trade heroes quickly obtained the license for mass production and sales and began to enter the international market on a large scale.
