1226 China also has an arms embargo
China's arms export trade volume is too small.
The reason why the Iran-Iraq War was able to sell a large amount of equipment was because China's weapons were cheap enough. For countries where the war lasted for eight years and the national treasury was exhausted, Chinese weapons with low prices and good quality were the best choice.
The later 359 tank was technology on the one hand. Even if the international advanced technology was willing to be exported, the price was a stigma for countries that wanted to buy. The 404 solution was not too big in performance, and the price was too cheap, so it got some orders.
Such situations are also unreplicable. It turns out that the country has not introduced special policies in these aspects. A large number of military-industrial units need funds to support the huge scientific research and production team. Therefore, as long as state secrets are not leaked and national defense is not harmed, the superiors will provide various policies as much as possible, just to keep these units alive without sufficient financial appropriations.
Now it's different, and superiors have begun to ban the export of advanced technology of 404.
The upgraded model of the 359 tank, which is exported to domestic sales, was named the Type 88 main battle tank. Because of its performance, it is prohibited from exporting. No matter how much money it is given abroad, it is not allowed to export unless it is a reduced-provision version.
It is better to buy a 359 tank directly if you buy a reduced-provisioned version of the Type 88 main battle tank.
Not only tanks are the only upgraded models of various weapons and equipment developed by 404.
A series of equipment such as the Qianwei-3 individual-soldier portable air defense missile, Tianjian-2 anti-tank missile, Earth-Hongqi-2 ground-to-ground tactical support missile, domestic self-used models of twin-engine Super-7b, etc., have been included in the scope of prohibited exports.
If exports are prohibited, they will naturally only be equipped with domestic troops.
At present, military expenditure is constantly decreasing, and the troops have few plans to update their equipment, so you can imagine the orders you can get.
The performance of the sold products cannot compete with the European, American and Soviet Union; the price was originally an advantage, but in Xie Kai, the price increased a lot, and it was no longer an advantage.
In this case, there are more orders for the Super-7a, who is not happy?
"Even if the engine gap problem is solved, the super-7b will not be sold because the superiors prohibit exports. The Egyptians expressed their intention to have a double-engine super-7b..." Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai and was very embarrassed.
The double-shot super-7b, and the superior clearly stated that it is not allowed to export.
Even projects jointly developed with Pakistan have been affected.
Not only Egypt, but also Pakistan, are looking for double plays.
This is also a concern for the top management of the base.
It’s not that they don’t want to sell it, but that the turbofan-6 engine has a bad service life and is also prohibited from exporting because it is the best turbofan engine in China.
"Yes, Pakistan is also very dissatisfied with this at present. The Americans used various reasons to delay the delivery of the F-16 that should have been delivered to Pakistan. Our neighbor next door has already negotiated with the Soviet Union and will introduce a group of MiG-29s. The Pakistani are naturally anxious." Zheng Yucheng also looked at Xie Kai.
Although I participated in the Paris Air Show this time, it is not very likely that I can get orders at the air show.
It is not easy to get more customers for Super-7a.
The customers who can get it, and because of the export ban, cannot sell what they want.
"There is a clear exit ban now?" Xie Kai was a little shocked.
Everyone knows that China is embargoed by the Western world and the Soviet Union. Xie Kai also knows that the country also has embargo regulations, but it is ignored because it has been selling the most advanced weapons and equipment in China abroad over the years.
"It has always been there, otherwise everything would have been exported and would have been messed up long ago. Foreign countries can also find out our technical strength based on these technical equipment. You must know that internationally, many countries purchase weapons and equipment, but they do not necessarily need them really urgently. The Batumi embargo is embargoed, Western countries and the Soviet Union have embargoed us, and we also embargoes abroad in certain fields..." Bai Yanjun told Xie Kai, "The situation in the base before was either closed down or changed. Both us and our superiors chose to change... Now the situation is getting better, and many units want to learn our model..."
Xie Kai was silent.
If this is true, it will not be easy to have new equipment to take out for food abroad in the future.
Just like the F-14 in the United States, during the research and development process, it received investment from the Pahlavi Dynasty due to lack of funds. In the end, it only exported dozens of modified F-14s to the Persians. Whether it was configuration or performance, it was much worse than those used by molds, and the price was still expensive.
Even the Persians in the whole world received a batch of such fighter jets, and no country could buy them from the Americans.
"The Super-7b is likely to be the same as the F-14 sold by the United States to the Persians, exporting a batch of modified ones to Pakistan, prohibiting exports to other countries," Wang Guilin added.
Xie Kai had previously discussed cooperation with Pakistan on the Super-7 project, with the two parties jointly investing and the technology belonging to both parties.
In the end, the Pakistani people dragged it because of the F-16, and only signed a contract and paid for it until the Super-7a was developed. This turned out to be the joint research of the Super-7b project between the two parties.
At the beginning, 404 lacked funds, so he had to sign a contract.
But now...
"We must think about this matter carefully. In any case, prepare to set off first, and see the situation at that time." Xie Kai doesn't know what to do now.
He had thought about this situation before, and always felt that the possibility was not too high.
Now things have happened, and I can only find ways to change them.
Weapons and equipment are related to national defense and security. As long as any country has the ability, it naturally hopes that equipment will be more advanced.
The performance of Super-7a is too far from that of Super-7b. Although Super-7a has quite a bad combat capability, this fighter is positioned as an advanced trainer and light fighter, and its combat effectiveness is naturally greatly reduced.
The one with strong combat capabilities is the dual-engine Super-7b, which has increased too much in terms of range and bomb load. Even the avionics and fire control radars inside the fighter have significantly improved.
"The teams participating in the exhibition are ready, and you can set off directly when the time comes. The Y-10 and Y-8 will arrive at the base tonight. If you cannot get the orders from Pakistan and Egypt, the benefits we can get during this exhibition are limited." Zheng Yucheng told Xie Kai seriously.
Xie Kai nodded to show his understanding.
