Chapter 834: doubt

Colonel Kianush Jalari obviously also heard the arrogance in Tan Zhenhua’s tone, but at this moment he simply can’t take care of these trivial matters, because the engine in front of him and the meaning behind it have completely occupied his brain.
Even more because of the difficult situation, Yibos urgently needs the strength to support them in the international community.
In the past few decades, the political situation of Iperos has experienced many turbulences, and these turbulences eventually caused them to lose almost all possible channels for obtaining external aid.
Because of the expulsion of the extremely rice-loving and extremely decaying Pahlavi dynasty and the subsequent "hostage crisis", the relationship between Ipersia and Britain and the United States is similar to that of the United States, and there is a long border with Russia following the invasion of Soviet Russia. The Afkhan made the Persians feel a direct threat, and after the outbreak of the "Iraq-Iraq War", Soviet Russia spared no effort in weapon support operations against Ikra, and Iberos also completely fell out with Soviet Russia.
From the perspective of the Persians, the reason why Ikra dared to invade Iperos without declaring a war and led to the full-scale outbreak of the "Iraq-Iraq War" was entirely because Ikra received financial supplies from the Arab world in the Middle East and the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union Satan’s tacit approval and support!
What Ipos is now going on is a just war against aggression!
However, looking at the Middle East, and even the whole world, Ipos is almost universally enemy.
Iperos is a large country in the Gulf region, with a land area of ​​about 1.65 million square kilometers. It ranks 17th in Blue Star. It has abundant oil reserves and is the world’s fourth largest oil producer. It has a certain industrial foundation, but these are not enough. Let them win this war, because they can produce too few weapons and equipment.
Therefore, they are particularly concerned about maintaining the combat power of the only advanced weapons in their hands. Among these advanced weapons, the F-14, or a whole set of strike forces based on the F-14, They need to take special care to maintain.
Through the inventory left over by the previous government, the international weapons smuggling channels, and the use of some fighters as "organ donors", they have ensured that a certain number of F-14s can maintain their perennial combat readiness. The reason for maintaining the advantage over Ikra, which is dominated by Soviet equipment, but everyone knows that such a situation will not last long.
The enemy has unobstructed procurement channels to continuously fill the battle losses, and even newer weapons may be put into the battlefield at any time, but the enemy can only continue to wear and tear without reliable supplements.
Fortunately, Ibos found the weapon supplier of Huaxia in time. Although the weapons provided by Huaxia are not advanced, at least the price is cheap and the quantity is sufficient. It is a powerful supplement to the mutual consumption of rivals such as the "Iraq-Iraq War". .
Therefore, when Colonel Kianush Jalari first came to China the year before, he bought a regiment of "Jiqi" in one go.
However, in Jalari's view, the combat capability of the "J-7" fighter can only be embodied in close combat, which is far from the F-14. Fortunately, Ikra’s air force is even more unbearable. The pilots generally have poor skills and the fighters in their hands are mainly "MiG 21" and "MiG 23" supplemented by a small number of "MiG 25". The Ipersian Air Force invented a brand new tactic—they use 2-4 F-14s as the core, and use the high-power radar on it to detect and track enemy aircraft, and use the ultra-long-range "phoenix" air-to-air missile. Deter and strike high-value targets in the enemy’s aircraft, and then use the "Jiqi" and the metric F-4 and F5 fighters also inherited from the previous regime to fight the enemy aircraft in close quarters. "Excellent results have been achieved in the cruel air combat battlefield, and so far, Ipos can still grasp the advantage of battlefield air supremacy.
In the process of investigating Huaxia’s active fighters, Jalari traveled to almost all factories where Huaxia can produce fighters. In his memory, the only ones that can be seen are the "J7" and Shengcheng Aircraft Manufacturing Factory’s The "J-8" of Yangyang Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, but the "J-8" is a dual-engine fighter, so the purchase and use cost is much higher than that of the "J-7" and it does not increase the corresponding combat power. Finally, the reason for choosing "Jiqi".
But he knew that whether it was "J-7" or "J-8", the turbojet engines of the previous generation with a thrust of only about 6 tons were used!
But what was shown before his eyes was a turbofan engine with a thrust exceeding 10 tons!
What does this mean?
It means that China's aviation industry level is a whole era higher than what he had learned in the past!
It also means that Yibos can buy more, better and more comprehensive equipment from China, which is almost the only country that can open up arms sales to Yibos!
They may even extend the service life of those metric equipment in their country in some way!
No matter which of these two points, it has extraordinary significance to the current Ipos!
Jalari felt that his heartbeat was speeding up uncontrollably. He calmed down and swallowed again before asking, "So, when can you sell this engine to us?"
Tan Zhenhua reluctantly shrugged his shoulders and said: "Mr. Colonel, I am afraid I cannot give you an accurate time yet. I must very regretfully tell you the truth that Rollo and Allison did not complete the final test of this engine. So what we got is not a finished product, we still need to invest a lot of resources to improve it, so if we estimate it optimistically, it may take 3-5 years."
Jalari suddenly felt that the hope he had just germinated was extinguished by a basin of ice water.
Is it just an unfinished engine?
Based on his past experience and the aviation industry capabilities that China has shown him, can they complete this engine?
As a technocrat in the Iposs arms purchase department, he is very aware of the difficulty of developing aero engines, because he knows that in Iposs, a plan to imitate metric aero engines has been secretly implemented for many years, but so far There is still no hope of success, and the object of imitation is only the J79-GE-17 afterburner turbojet engine equipped on the F-4 "Phantom" fighter, the technical level of the United States in the 1950s!
So, with China's industrial capabilities, will their attempt to manufacture this advanced turbofan engine be successful?
Jalari was very skeptical.
The expression on his face did not hide from the sharp-eyed Tan Zhenhua, but he just pulled the corner of his mouth indifferently.
"It seems that Mr. Colonel has some doubts about our ability to develop and manufacture this engine in China." He said, "It seems that I have to do something to dispel you." The doubts are good, then, gentlemen, please follow me."
