Chapter 366 Still want something

"Our Tomcat fighters are all engaged in air combat with the Soviets. Now, the Soviets have improved the Su-27 fighter and given us the greatest threat. We must improve the performance of our fighter jets in order to fight with the Soviets." Mhamad said: "These are all for Afghanistan and for the glory of the entire Western world."

Humph, if we hadn't continued support, Pakistan would have been destroyed long ago! Even Arnold would have had such an idea.

"Our avionics are already very advanced and are all dragged down by backward engines, but we do not have enough funds to buy all the engines, so we can only use Pakistan's existing conditions to save money," Mhamad said. "We now have an overhaul line for the f100 engine, which can repair our f-16 fighter engine. This overhaul line, after improvement, should be able to produce the f110 engine simultaneously."

Pakistan wants to produce this engine itself! Impossible, how is this possible! Arnold said immediately: "This is a violation of our output regulations. The f110 engine has never set up a production line in any country."

"Germany's 1500 horsepower engine has never set up production lines in other countries. In order to support our army, hasn't it still set up a production line here? Now, we can produce this engine completely independently. All the raw materials are produced by our own country." Mhamad said: "Since we can overhaul the F100 engine, we can produce the F110 engine. Only in this way can we save costs. Pakistan has the advantage of human resources. Our various minerals are also quite cheap. We also have various metal manufacturing industries. Based on our existing industries, where we do not meet the standards, we can introduce new equipment. To produce qualified metal blanks, I believe that the engines we produce in China can be at least one fifth cheaper than those produced in your country. At that time, your air force may also like to import engines from us because our cheaper."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This involves many of our top secret technologies. They cannot be exported to your country. The f110 engine was developed by General Motors for decades. How can it be exported so easily? If your country needs it, we can only provide the whole machine." Arnold said.

"It seems that we have a big difference again," Mhamad said. "Maybe, we can change the way. For example, let General Motors have a joint venture with us in China and open an engine manufacturing factory. Do you think this is OK?"

Joint venture! It is not that the other party exports all the technology, but that they just come here to start production and build a factory.

It’s just that the engine is produced, not the design, and the entire production process is supervised by General Corporation, and the main technology is still in the hands of General Corporation.

In this case, it seems to be a little easier to accept.

"We both sides invest half of the shares. Establish this engine manufacturer, and replace all the engines produced in the early stage with our Tomcat fighter jets. When more engines are produced in the later stage, you can also return to your country to assemble new fighter jets, or provide them to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries to upgrade engines." Mhamad said: "I hope that your side can accept this proposal, otherwise we will lose the need to continue to communicate."

Arnold thought about it, only building factories and engines did not seem to involve technical leakage, and could make a profit from General Motors and Grumman. It seems that it should be able to pass.

"Do you have any other requirements?" Arnold asked. If only this condition is just one, you can consider it.

"The others are the applications we have made before," Mhamad said. "We hope that your country will give us four Kid-class destroyers."

Kid-class? No, this is absolutely not possible! The Navy has denied it long ago and cannot send these four ships out. The Navy has to use it for its own use! Didn’t Pakistan get a broken aircraft carrier at the beginning? It was modified like a treasure, but now, why do you want it again?

"I'm sorry, this is really not possible," Arnold said. "We've discussed it before."

"Oh, your country is so stingy." Mhamad said: "It seems that we can only rely on ourselves. We can build warships ourselves. Your country provides us with some subsystems of ships. This should be fine, right?"

Subsystem? Arnold took the document drafted by Mhamad and looked at it, the LM2500-30 gas turbine, 127mm mk.45/54 caliber high-level dual-purpose naval gun, ship-based air-to-air, coast guard radar...

Arnold immediately took a breath of air conditioning. Is Pakistan going to build its own warships? With Pakistan's level, even if these things are sent to Pakistan, they will not be able to integrate them together!

Arnold went out, and Musha Af, who had not spoken on the side, asked Mhamad: "President, we want so many things this time. What if the Americans disagree?"

"Of course this is easy to solve," Mhamad said. "We put the Su-27 fighter jet on our runway and let the Soviet reconnaissance satellites discover it."

Space has no borders. When the Soviet reconnaissance satellite flew over, it would find the plane on its own runway. At that time, the Soviets would know what was going on. The fighter plane they lost had already appeared in Pakistan's air force base!

In this way, the Soviets knew that their fighter plane had defected. The Soviets would protest to them very angrily and demand that the fighter plane be returned. They would transfer the pressure to the Americans simultaneously to see what the Americans should do. If the Americans did not agree to their request, they would send the fighter plane back to the Soviets. After all, Berikov defected at that time, and the MiG-25 was taken back by the Soviets, and the same was true this time.

"Okay, I get it." Musha Af said: "We also removed a complete engine. Do we want to give this engine to Eastern countries for research?"

The Su-27 is a good thing. In later generations, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Eastern countries imported a large number of Su-27s and developed into the J-11 family of Eastern countries. Now, the Su-27 was handed over to the United States, and exchanged a large amount of benefits with the Americans. At the same time, it almost blocked the roads of later Eastern countries. Eastern countries would not use a fighter jet that had been completely understood by the United States.

Thinking of this, Mhamad felt a little regretful. According to history, Zuyev defected in the MiG 29. Unexpectedly, he changed to the more advanced Su 27. He had no other choice but to use it to exchange interests with the United States. It is absolutely worth using Su 27 to obtain the production technology of F110.

Although the technology seems to be in the hands of Americans, there are more opportunities to let Americans spit out all of these step by step, and Pakistani technicians will gradually gain more say until eventually, turning this engine into their own engine.

The TF-41 is the foundation. With this engine, it will further increase its strength and solve the heart problem. It will jointly imitate the Tomcat fighter with Eastern countries, and the progress will be faster.

As for the Al-31 engine, it has a different idea from the American engine. There is no need to spend time on this. We will continue to develop the TF41 boost model first, and at the same time study the technology of the F110. Finally, we will understand the F110 thoroughly.

Therefore, this engine has naturally had other uses. Mhamad had already thought about it and secretly dismantled it to another country that needed it the most.

Germany! With the rd33, Pakistan has established a close military cooperation relationship with Germany. With this Al31 engine, it can obtain the technology of the more important fire control system of the Leopard 2 tank! It can independently produce infrared thermal imaging devices and other core components of the fire control system in Pakistan, which will further improve Pakistan's armor development level!

Karachi.

Although the weather was already very cold, the construction of the shipyard here had not stopped and was in full swing and orderly. In fact, even when the Indian aircraft carrier formation was launched and the Indian ground troops were rushing over, the engineers here were still working.

In their eyes, there is only this aircraft carrier!

After saying goodbye to Arnold, Mhamad came to Karachi again to inspect the progress here.

Every time I see the aircraft carrier in the dock, Mhamad has unlimited expectations. Now, the aircraft carrier has completed the rust removal work at the bottom and has come down from the dock.

The dock is mainly used to build hulls. After the hull is built, you can get off the dock and pull it aside for outfitting to maximize the saving of the docks. After all, the docks are also quite expensive and limited resources.

After the dock is vacated, oil tankers will be built for Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan's shipbuilding industry has also embarked on a healthy development track.

In addition to the rust removal and painting of the surface, the aircraft carrier also underwent surgery inside. The rear deck was cut open, and the new boiler was put in and re-welded.

But what Mhamad needs most is that the head of the ship is equipped with a leap deck, but has never started construction. This time, Mhamad came here mainly because of the shipyard report. After many research, after several studies, the catapult is not available, and the two cannot be used at the same time!
