Chapter 480 - The Sad Thing Is Not for Sale
Just because the Americans bombed the Chinese embassy and claimed that they used old maps, why should the Chinese electronic equipment have a "malfunction"?
Regardless of whether they are Americans or Japanese, the mute will definitely suffer the consequences, and the French will be shot even while lying down.
Anyone would have launched a missile without hesitation when encountering this situation, but no one could have predicted that it would accidentally hit the passenger car, even if it were replaced by a Chinese-made QW-4 missile that uses an infrared imaging seeker. Also helpless.
The Japanese suffered a huge loss and lost an expensive F-22 "Raptor" for nothing. This will definitely cause a big earthquake in the country.
Facts have proved that when comparing people, you have to die. Saichiro Noma is indeed dead. You have to throw away goods when comparing goods. So the F-22...
The people at Lockheed Martin looked so ugly that they looked like they had eaten shit. Their company's proud product was actually shot down by a French missile in front of everyone, but the Chinese fighter jets were unharmed. What happened? What's the matter?
I wanted to suppress a small company, but I didn't expect to hit the south wall directly. But what I did to myself was to knock out my teeth and swallow them in my stomach. The mute eats yellow lotus. I can't tell the pain. Is it possible that I still want to do it? Want to catch Chinese people and question them?
Not to mention the Chinese, even the Americans themselves can come up with a lot of reasons to excuse themselves.
Let's not talk about the Chinese's two tactics of "borrowing arrows from straw boats" and "diverting troubles eastward". As long as American opponents buy a few more sets of "Aster-30", wouldn't it mean that they will let the F-22 "Raptor" "If you see it in the future, you have to go around it?
Watching the J-14 "Falcon" aim at the runway, slowly lowering its height, the lowered landing gear tires raised a thin stream of smoke on the runway. There was not even a speeding parachute, allowing the fighter to glide and slow down on the runway. consumes the remaining power of the engine.
Not only the French and Japanese were troubled by the unexpected situation, but other countries were also in a state of gloom. The executives of the weak fighter manufacturers all looked at each other with pale faces.
The limelight has been given to the Chinese, so how can they sell their fighter jets?
I'm afraid the crowd in front of the Chinese booth is almost overcrowded by now.
The sharp-eyed people turned their telescopes and took a look. Sure enough, the auditorium of the military procurement group was almost half empty. Whoever had the intention to continue at the opening ceremony would have been as if he had corns on his butt and could not sit still.
Before the exhibition area was fully opened, it was packed with representatives of military procurement groups from various countries.
Ordinary civilian audiences have long been greedy, but they have no choice but to wait for three days before they can see this magical J-14 "Falcon" up close.
Not only was Sukhoi's face turned pale, MiG, who was still reading Sukhoi's jokes, could not laugh at all. Almost all Russian manufacturers that competed with the Defense Star for business were in gloom.
Although the profits from fighter jet orders are astonishing, after all, there was no world war and there was too much food for the people. International aviation orders have always been for the brave and starved for the timid.
A middle-aged bearded man wearing Arab-style clothing, with a plump figure and a shy general's belly, rushed to the Defense Star booth at an incredible speed with assault steps, took out a check, waved it and shouted: "Hi! Hi! China Man, I want that plane, a hundred of them! A hundred of them!" Two sturdy bodyguards in black escorted him to the edge of the exhibition area, almost half-pushing, half-squeezing.
Behind him, a translator in a suit and tie was chasing him out of breath, shouting half-deadly: "His Royal Highness Amir Saud, wait for me!"
Needless to say, he is definitely a customer who was conquered by the performance of the J-14 "Falcon".
Chinese products are almost universally famous for their high quality and low price.
Orders for the J-10 were overwhelming at the last Zhuhai Air Show, and no one dared to take a step too late. Otherwise, if it was delayed for a year or two, they would be beaten by their opponents.
Advanced equipment means suppression and advantage. If you want to avoid being beaten, you must not fall behind. Especially countries that have always had quarrels with neighboring countries pay more attention to the procurement of advanced equipment.
"I'm sorry, that's just not for sale! It can only be displayed!" A salesperson who was good at Arabic in the Defense Star could only shake his head and said with blood dripping from his heart: "How about you take a look at our other products, like the J-11 !Definitely a good airplane!”
Other customers who flocked to the Defense Star exhibition area were unhappy and shouted loudly. They ignored the "not for sale" sign in front of the vacant J-14 booth.
"If you have a parameter sheet, please send it to us for a look. We are very sincere and very interested. Can we talk about it?"
"We are the Republic of Angola. We want two, oh no, we want four! Can you talk about the price and service? As long as they are delivered within the year, the price is easy to negotiate."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, we want to buy it, US$120 million, in cash, a one-time payment. Send us a few aircraft first. The price is negotiable."
The person who issued such a direct price call must have understood the market situation. The bare metal price of Lockheed Martin's F-22 "Raptor" is only US$120 million. It seems that he has put the J-14 on the same level as the F-14. 22 position.
These customers believe that there is nothing in the world that cannot be sold, as long as the price is right.
There were four or five exhibition areas nearby, and the Shenfei exhibiting sales manager who occupied a larger exhibition area was so happy that he almost squinted his eyes. That was 120 million US dollars.
Although the J-14 is only a non-sale model that has not yet been installed, the price still makes Shenyang Aircraft people excited. It is not just selling one to make one, it is simply selling one to make four or five, which is like robbing a bank. A few cents is equivalent to running a banknote printing factory in your own home.
You must know that the bare metal price of the J-10 is only 30 to 40 million US dollars.
However, the people at Shenfei still suppressed their impulse with great regret. This matter was not something they could decide. Without national support, they would not have the ability to develop such an advanced fighter jet.
It will be eight years at the earliest when the J-14 is released to the public.
We must first arm the Chinese themselves.
The Defense Stars have become very popular, all thanks to their pilots.
Defense Star has an actual ace pilot. I don’t know how many domestic aircraft manufacturers are jealous to the extreme. An experienced test pilot can not only find more bugs, but also improve the performance of the aircraft to several levels. Can drive crazy orders in flight demonstrations, like right now.
If they knew that this pilot also had very professional aircraft design capabilities, their eyes would probably pop out.
The staff of the National Defense Star were already a little overwhelmed and could only desperately guide the J-11 on display. However, those customers were not convinced. The performance of the J-11, which was imitated by the Su-27, was just like this. Even if There are improvements, but they are very limited. How can it be compared with fighters of the same level as the J-14 and F-22.
The area in front of the National Defense Star exhibition area was so noisy that it almost turned into a vegetable market.
"Well done! 'Dragon Knight'! Great, but now I have to worry about how to supply the order. If I had known I should have let you fly the J-11, oh, I believe you can do it even if you are flying the J-11 Get the F-22s out of the sky."
Young Master Chen gave Lin Mo a big bear hug as he returned from the take-off field. This guy is simply a lucky star of the national defense star. Not only does he have enviable connections behind him, but he also has super strong combat skills. Now for the third time It would be difficult for a national defense star to become famous after just one appearance at the International Aerospace Exhibition.
Although the J-14 is just a low-end product in the market, it can be seen from the expression of Shenyang's factory representative that their external sales orders can only be placed on the J-11, but even if they can't buy the J-14, they are still interested in it. Customers looking at the J-11 can also keep the production line of the National Defense Star full throughout the year.
A fighter jet is not a car, nor is it a wonton picker. You can put a handful of small pieces of dough wrapped in meat into boiling water and blanch it twice before serving it out.
With the current production capacity of the Defense Star, it can only produce two to three J-11s a year. The scrap rate of many parts is too high, and the machining accuracy requires water milling. Some parts are even purely handmade by senior technicians. These These reasons have seriously restricted the assembly capacity of the fighter production line.
"I shouldn't get into any trouble!"
Although Lin Mo said this, he still disagreed in his heart. After all, wiping the pilot's butt is what the ground personnel should do. In the past year or so, he has caused quite a lot of trouble.
Compared to the French missile accidentally hitting the Japanese F-22 "Raptor", Lin Mo's incident of breaking into the no-fly zone was almost nothing.
"It's okay, it's okay! Report it directly that the J-14 has a communication failure, huh, let the French investigate." Yang Jing, Shen Fei's representative stationed at the Defense Star, came over and said.
The J-14 "Falcon" is outstanding. It has stepped on the head of the F-22 "Raptor" and made an unprecedented first appearance. I am afraid that its popularity will not even be inferior to those of internationally renowned brand fighter jets.
As for the unlucky Japanese kid, well, no one considers him. That is the French and Japanese's own business. The Chinese J-14 is empty, and no matter how hard it creates trouble, it cannot be found on the Chinese.
Compared with the chaos in the exhibition area on the opening day, the defense star still attracted many customers during the second day of the exhibition for purchasing delegations from various parties. Even many people came to Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a manufacturer such as Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. All I can see is envy that their pilots who are not that brilliant can perform such a level of demonstration.
Flight demonstration is still the same theme. The stars of today's morning show are Russia's Sukhoi "Gregori" flight squadron and India's "Sunshine" flight demonstration team.
Before the opening ceremony, the landing show of the Su-27 fleet transferred by Sukhoi Company attracted considerable popularity. There were also many important customers that day who were looking forward to seeing a more exciting demonstration of maneuverability.
