Chapter 836 Super Seven is sold to Libya!

WW When Kusai said this, Taha was a little nervous. He thought Kusai was going to sell the Phantom 4000 fighter jets made by Iraq to the other party. Now is not the time.

The Phantom 4000 is the most advanced fighter jet manufactured by Iraq. Now, Iraq is driving at full capacity, with only more than 30 aircraft per year, mainly for its own air force equipment. Moreover, the Air Force gritted its teeth and gave it to Saudi Arabia. Now, it is not good to give it to Libya. It will take at least a few years to wait until the number of Phantom 4000 in the Iraqi Air Force reaches more than 100 aircraft, and it will be possible to export it to other countries.

Another type is the F-20 fighter jet produced by Iraq. The production of this fighter jet is quite good. As a low-end fighter jet with high and low combinations, it has begun to be replaced in large quantities into the Iraqi Air Force. Now, there are more than 100 such fighter jets in the Iraqi Air Force, and the final plan will reach 200 to 300. It is okay to export them to Libya, but this will attract strong opposition from the United States, because after all, this fighter jet is from the US export production line to Iraq, and some of the components inside are not produced independently by Iraq and need to be imported from the United States. If the United States knows that Iraq exports this fighter jet to Libya, a country that is firmly anti-American, God knows what reaction they will do, and it is possible to cut it off again.

However, Kusai is so smart, there must be a solution. When Taha thought of this, he heard Kusai continue to say: "This fighter jet is the product of our Iraq-international cooperation, and in our Muslim country, there is already a country as the main equipment. Whether it is fighting for air supremacy or ground attacks, this fighter jet is very powerful. Close combat and medium-range air combat have its unique advantages. If Libya can equip such a main fighter jet, it can effectively protect Libya's airspace and eliminate any enemy who dares to invade Libyan airspace!"

"Is that true?" Gaddafi was still a little skeptical. Before coming, he had not done enough homework. He did not guess which fighter aircraft it was.

"Yes, Colonel, you can verify from the Pakistan Air Force that this Super Seven fighter has excellent performance and can beat any fighter of your Air Force, including the most advanced Phantom F1," said Kusai.

It turns out that what Kusai wants to sell is Super 7!

Super Seven is a key foreign trade model in Iraq, which has improved the aerodynamic appearance. Especially the design of the double delta wings makes this model derived from the MiG-21, which is already known for its maneuverability and flexibility, and is even more agile. If it is better than close combat, it is not even weaker than the F-14. The front nose can be changed and can be stuffed into a large radar antenna, which makes it have medium-range air combat capabilities. When Pakistan's F-16 does not have the ability to launch medium-range missiles, Super Seven can be said to be the secret treasure of the Pakistan Air Force.

However, Taha also knows that this fighter uses American avionics, so this fighter will be subject to the US, which is the same as the F-20. The United States can allow this batch of avionics equipment to be on the Super Seven Fighters imported by Pakistan, but it will definitely not be allowed to be on the Super Seven Fighters in Libya.

Could it be that President Kusai would sell the Super Seven without avionics to Gaddafi? In that case, he would be too... Taha didn't think much, but he seemed to have been persuaded. Then, President Kusai suggested that in the afternoon, he could go to the southern Busra base to experience the charm of this fighter jet close-up, and Gaddafi agreed happily.

Kusai is very sure because the low-altitude maneuverability of the Super 7 is very excellent. This is also the reason why the August 1st flight performance team chose the J-7 e as a performance aircraft. It gave Gaddafi some shocking scenes, which made Gaddafi admire him from his heart, and thus took out a large price to buy this kind of aircraft.

The export price to Pakistan was five million US dollars each, but if sold to Libya, it would have to be a little more expensive, for example, eight million US dollars? You know, now the price of any military fighter internationally is more than 20 million US dollars, especially the French Phantom, which is even more outrageously high.

Zubaier's aircraft manufacturing base has developed into a huge industrial base. There are two main fighter production lines, the F-20 and the Phantom 4000. At the same time, there is also a very important F404 engine production line. Other supporting manufacturers are also built around the base. Among them, the Super Seven is mainly responsible for the modification of avionics projects in a final assembly workshop of the F-20. So far, nearly thirty of the Super Seven export projects signed with Pakistan have been completed.

Although the body of Super Seven is mainly produced in Chengfei, some of the components of Super Seven, such as alloy beams, are produced in Iraq with the help of Iraq's advanced processing tools.

Now, the new heart of Super Seven, the turbojet 13 engine, has been developed by Shenyang Liming Engine Manufacturing Company, a major Eastern power. This engine is improved from the J-7's main power turbojet 7, with the maximum thrust and afterburning thrust increased by 50% and 15% respectively. After being equipped with such an engine, the maneuverability of Super Seven is even more outstanding. Of course, if conditions permit, it is not ruled out that the possibility of equipting this fighter with a new turbofan engine in the future.

The Super Seven fighter jets that Pakistan has equipped will be equipped with a new Turbojet 13 engine during the mid-term overhaul. With stronger power, it will give Super Seven more agile maneuverability.

Another important aspect is that if the avionics of the 7th avionics have always used American avionics, they will always be subject to others. Kusai will definitely not tolerate this. Therefore, they have been working hard to overcome the difficulties of avionics.

The avionics of aircraft are just a general term. Here, the b data bus is mainly used to cross-link most avionics subsystems. Through mission computers, radar, fire control, various flight sensors are connected to altitude, speed, etc., various navigation systems are connected to inertial navigation, Takang and other systems, all of which are cross-linked to achieve unified information scheduling and the optimal method.

The entire 1980s was an era of rapid advancement of airborne avionics. A large number of various equipment that complies with the b data bus technology have emerged, which can be easily connected. Europe is also rapidly catching up with the technology of the United States.

As the Eastern powers have clearly used the B data bus to develop new aircraft, they have also stepped up their development in this regard. Iraq has secretly handed over a set of F-20 avionics to Chengfei and Iraqi experts for joint research. In the avionics research, radar is undoubtedly the most critical component. Under the instruction of Kusai, the powerful Tomcat's airborne radar, awg-9, was also secretly exported to Chengfei for pre-research.

Airborne radar, as an important component of fighter jets, has been working hard. From imitating the Soviet-made rangefinder in the 1950s to developing single-pulse fire control radars in the 1960s, finally putting the airborne radars in the 1970s into use. At the same time, the research on pulsed Doppler fire control radar and phased array fire control radar was started to be carried out to make theoretical preparations. In later generations, in the 1980s, the system prototype was developed and the pulsed Doppler fire control radar was completed, breaking through the pulsed Doppler system. Of course, there is still a big gap in the reliability of the radar.

At this time, the Eastern Powers had already had advanced radars to refer to, reverse imitate, and thoroughly understood the principles, which was the most special thing about the Eastern Powers. Because in order to project No. 10, the Eastern Powers had to master the technology of the entire avionics system of the B data bus as soon as possible.

However, airborne radar is a high-tech product after all, and requires more advanced electronic technology. Although with the strong help of Iraq, it takes time to make a breakthrough.

In addition to airborne radar, other components are much more technically difficult. Simple ones such as altimeters, airspeed meters, vertical speed meters, attack sensors, atmospheric temperature sensors, etc. can be imitated by major Eastern powers. For example, high-precision inertial navigation devices, frequency hopping communication devices, radar alarm devices, etc. can be temporarily imported from France, cockpit display equipment is imported from Italy, and major fire control computers are imported from the UK. For the time being, these things are combined into a fire control system that does not rely on the United States and is not subject to export restrictions. As for fire control radar, if a breakthrough cannot be made, it can also be introduced from France first. The set of Phantom 2000 radar can be installed in the nose of the more than seven.

Since these devices are suitable for B data, they can be easily combined. To be simpler, you can use Phantom 2000 avionics instead. The French are very willing to do this business.

In another two to three years, the difficulties of avionics have been completely overcome. Even if the technical performance is slightly lower, this kind of foreign trade machine will become a real foreign trade product.

Therefore, Kusai is still very confident that the export of this fighter to Libya is the best performance of the American product, but there are too many political restrictions. Kusai is often the second best.

I don’t know how far the Soviet Union has studied the F-14 radar, and whether it can effectively improve their level. Otherwise, introducing a sufficiently advanced radar from the Soviet Union is also a good choice.

However, Gaddafi didn't know so much. After coming to the base, he saw the Pakistani Air Force, which was preparing to receive two newly-departed-7 aircraft, and one of them would perform a flight for Gaddafi, which was flew by Iraqi test pilots.

The weather was very good this day. Sitting in the temporary platform for myself, behind them were four beautiful female bodyguards. Gaddafi was waiting to watch the flight performance.
