Chapter 955: flaw

This is very reasonable, and it is very close to the possibility of Sultan’s own analysis. Hearing him nodded slightly, Sultan added:
I think this is the most likely situation, because according to our intelligence department’s investigation , The total amount of the contract signed between that Huaxia company and Ibsia is more than 800 million U.S. dollars, and this is one of the most technologically advanced products in the arms business—advanced aeroengines. The profits must be extremely lucrative. Replace it with me. I will not give up easily."
The old chief was noncommittal after listening to his son's analysis. He just nodded slightly and said, "Sheikh, continue."
"Okay, Father, the second possibility I analyzed is that Eric can agree to block the export of engines to Ipos, and even go further, block all the exports of his related industries to Ipos. However, we proposed He is not satisfied with the consideration."
"But that was a purchase order for a regiment of 24 fighters. Sheikh, you have seen the fighter he developed, which is two-seater, two-engine, and multi-purpose. It is compared with the price of similar fighters in the world. The price may be close to 30 million U.S. dollars. Even if the unit price of Soviet weapons is compared, it will start at least 20 million U.S. dollars. If full-life accessories and maintenance training courses are included, the total amount of this contract may be as high as 800 million U.S. dollars or more. , It should be able to completely make up for the loss of his interruption of the transaction with Ipos, and he has almost no loss-maybe even a slight surplus, so what is he not satisfied with?"
Sheikh said helplessly: "Father, you only counted this account, but have you forgotten that apart from Huaxia, Yibos has almost no other stable and reliable source of weapons. Eric is now doing it with them. This business is only more than 800 million US dollars, but what about the future? Not to mention, after he has established this stable communication channel, wouldn’t he sell his fighter jets to Ipos-oh no , Father, based on what I know about him, he must have done this! Father, Prince Sultan, you should be very clear? In Ipos, there is at least one group of Huaxia produced "Jiqi" The fighters have been put into active service, which fully shows that Ibs has practical experience in equipping Huaxia fighters and has established a complete maintenance system. With the continuous consumption of metric fighters in their equipment catalog, they purchased this fighter from China. The possibilities are getting bigger and bigger!"
"Hi~"
Before the Sheikh finished speaking, there were two air-conditioning sounds in the house. Obviously, the old chief and Prince Sultan were aware that the possibility that he said completely exists, and it may even have begun. Implementation, only because this fighter has not yet been delivered, so they have not yet received accurate information. "
"Sheikh, let's talk about it. What is the current situation of the fighter you saw?"
Prince Sultan, who is also a pilot and currently serves as the commander of the Haosha National Air Defense Air Force, couldn't help but quickly asked about the situation of this fighter that is likely to become an air opponent.
"When I saw it, there was only one prototype that was being manufactured and had not yet been tested," Sheikh replied, "As I said earlier, it is a heavy-duty two-seater, two-engine. The fighter, according to the data that Eric once disclosed to me, the maximum take-off weight is close to 30 tons, which means that it has a higher ammunition load and a longer range, beautiful appearance, with typical side wing and both wings and The fuselage is well integrated, similar to the metric F-15 but not exactly like it. This shows that it should have good aerodynamics. The nose is large enough to install a large-sized radar. This shows that it can perform similar to F-15. -14. Over-the-horizon combat missions like F-15, if they have long-range air-to-air missiles."
After thinking about it, he added: "Erik told me that this new fighter will never be finalized later than 1987, and according to my observation, if everything goes well, this timetable may even be advanced. This year, we may hear the news that it has started its test flight."
"They must have long-range air-to-air missiles, and even if they don't have them now, they must be developing them." Prince Sultan said in a very positive tone: "Sheikh, have you forgotten that Ipos has something we are very unwilling to face. A missile that the Persians can’t imitate. Wouldn’t they entrust China to do this?"
"Philadelphia!" Sheikh and his son called out in unison.
At this same moment, Sheikh couldn't help but recall the fact that Tan Zhenhua deliberately mentioned to him the N number of Phoenix missiles when he led him to visit the fighter plane known as the "Flying Leopard". Weakness, and the suggestion he made to himself at the time-"Give us a few missiles of this type, and let's decipher the interface data."
That should be before he has successfully sold advanced aero engines to Ipos.
Well, now Eric must have already acquired this type of missile. He knew the advantages and disadvantages of this type of missile. After getting the prototype, it is almost inevitable to use China's human and material resources to replicate or even improve it!
One year has passed, and their imitations are likely to have preliminary results!
And this will lead to another very serious consequence-over the Gulf, there will be an advanced combination of air weapons that will make all Arab countries fearful!
Moreover, there is no embargo, the quantity of equipment is sufficient, and the weapon combination that can be supplemented by battle damage can be obtained at any time!
Sheykh was not the only one who thought of this serious consequence. The old chief who was extremely politically sensitive and the commander of the active air defense air force, who was a pilot, was obviously immediately aware of this problem.
The three couldn't help but look up at each other, but they all saw almost the same expressions on each other's faces-anxiety, worry, and a little bit of fear.
After a long time, the old chief said slowly: "I think the two speculations of Sheikh are added together to get closer to the facts. Eric indeed had anticipated the situation like today and was prepared for it. , He was even ready to ask for the price-it's just that our previous estimate was completely wrong. The business he is doing or wanting to do with Ipos is not just the two hundred aero engines. Therefore, the consideration we put forward is to purchase A regiment of new fighters has no attraction to him."
"That's why he proposed a high asking price that is almost impossible to achieve. He is reminding us!" Prince Sultan sighed, his face full of bitterness.
"However, how much should the consideration be raised?" Sheikh said depressed: "According to the needs of the Persians, they are likely to equip two regiments or more of this type of fighter to supplement their military strength, and that means With a deal of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars or more, do we need to raise our bargaining chip above that?"
"We have to add 800 million in aviation procurement, and that would exceed 2 billion!" Sultan added bitterly.
Having said that, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he announced loudly to the Sheikh and his son: "I have found a problem. There is a flaw in the deal between Eric and the Ipers!"
