1251 An-225 is about to set sail

"What do you want to do so much? If the other party really buys, it will be an opportunity for us. Anyway, it will take off soon. If it is really necessary, they will look for us." Xie Kai also knew that this matter was very difficult.

In the original world, NATO countries had almost no purchase of Chinese weapons and equipment.

The only one, Türkiye, even signed a contract to purchase Hongqi-9 with China, which ultimately failed to fulfill due to opposition from the United States and other countries. Moreover, Türkiye ultimately had to choose to purchase from Russia at a higher cost.

The air defense systems in European and American countries are just like that, but the performance is not good and the cost is even greater.

Therefore, if we could sell weapons, especially heavy equipment, into NATO countries, it was the dream of any Chinese military-industrial enterprise in that era.

It can even be said to be obsession.

As long as Xie Kai can open the market door of NATO countries in this era, NATO poor countries will have more choices in the future.

Cooperation and competition are the mainstream of future development for a long time.

"Okay, I'll be ready to take off later and I'll arrive in Paris tomorrow. Let's talk about the specific matters." Bai Yanjun didn't want to argue.

The boat reaches the bridge head naturally straight.

"What do you think? Why do you recommend such Chinese fighter jets? Relatively speaking, their fighter jets have no advantages besides maneuverability and price." As for Dimitridas's idea, the Chief of Defense Staff, who listened to the detailed introduction, asked dissatisfiedly.

Chinese fighter jets are indeed cheap, but their performance is much worse.

Super-7a has no effect and can only be used as a trainer.

Compared to the advanced trainer, the price of $12 million is still a bit expensive.

And Super-7b has not even achieved its first flight.

"The Chief of Staff, the Chinese fighter jet quotation can be negotiated. According to our speculation, it is likely to be compressed to less than $20 million. One hundred aircraft can save the Ministry of Defense nearly $2 billion in funding." Dimitridas was not without consideration.

American fighter jets are too expensive.

The Greek Air Force simply couldn't bear it.

"The French Phantom-2000 price is only 25 million, and it is much better than China's in terms of combat radius and ammunition load. The Ministry of Defense will not agree to such a procurement plan. Moreover, the NATO Military Commission will also prevent us from cooperating with the Chinese!" Constantine shook her head.

Just a mobility, it really doesn't have much effect.

Their air force needs stronger overall performance.

"Perhaps we should go to the Paris Air Show to see the performance of their fighter jets. The Chinese fighter jets will be shown at the Paris Air Show so that they can understand more intuitively." Dimitridas did not give up at all.

The NATO Military Commission does not agree.

But for the Greek Air Force, it is obviously better to choose a fighter jet that meets their needs.

Constantine looked at his Air Force Chief of Staff, knowing that he would not be aimless and asked seriously, "Are you really sure that Chinese fighter jets are suitable for us?"

"Purchase a small number of American fighter jets to form a high and low match with China's fighter jets... Our Air Force only implements national defense... The Chinese have no additional conditions in the export of weapons and equipment, and their market share is small, so we can get better services. Moreover, the specific performance of the French Mirage fighter jets is very different from what they introduced."

Dimitridas is not optimistic about Phantom.

Although the maximum plug-in capacity can reach 6 tons, it only carries 3 tons of fuel, and it is impossible to have a combat radius of 1,550 kilometers under the maximum plug-in condition.

The maximum take-off weight of the Chinese fighter jets reached 24 tons, but with one more engine, the empty weight could not be increased so much.

He believes that the other party's data has been concealed.

Even Super-7a is also concealed.

It is best to go to the Paris Air Show to learn more about it.

"How can the NATO Military Commission solve it?"

"First determine whether Chinese fighter jets meet our needs." Dimitridas felt that he had thought too much about the concerns of the Chief of Defense Staff.

It is impossible to convince the Ministry of Defense.

As for the NATO Military Commission?

mmmp, the country's economy is not good, they don't support more, and the Americans are still robbing them.

The Soviet Union saw that it was no longer possible, and there was almost no possibility of a world war breaking out again. What are you afraid of?

"I want to see what advantages Chinese fighter jets have to be so respected." Constantine was indeed interested in Chinese fighter jets.

Soon, he arrived at the office of the Minister of Defense...

The exhibited crew will continue to take off in the afternoon and arrive in Italy before dark.

From the beginning, everyone in the entire crew was worried that the Italians would be like the Greeks, and they were all numb.

Fortunately, the Italians were more honest and arranged to lead the Rafale fighter jets jointly developed by them and the British and Germans. From the beginning, the Italian pilots did not make any trouble and appeared in the predetermined airspace early to wait for Chinese fighter jets.

After landing at the airport arranged in Italy, the ground crew continued to repair, while the tired pilot took the time to rest.

It will be in Paris tomorrow, and no one dares to relax their vigilance.

No one wants to see the bed wet at dawn.

"Has the Italians been warned by the Greeks? They are so honest!" Xie Kai felt a little incredible until the plane landed and lived in the room arranged by the Italians.

Although Italy and China have a good relationship, they are not as good as Italians do not look for awkwardness.

They are also NATO members.

Bai Yanjun glared at Xie Kai and said angrily, "You kid is afraid that the world will not be in chaos and they will not cause trouble. Isn't it better for us?"

Ge Minglang and others who had just entered the door also nodded in a hurry.

"Mr. Ge, is there no problem with the fighter plane?" Xie Kai changed the topic.

"There is no problem, and the condition is much better than other domestic aircraft after flying like this." Ge Minglang said proudly, "There is no problem with the body structure, landing gear, etc. This is beyond our imagination."

Ge Minglang's joy was even more serious.

Along the way, I was worried about such a problem.

Both J-7 and J-8 have quality problems. Long-term high-intensity flights are prone to problems.

"This fully demonstrates that our quality has been effectively controlled and the quality management system is reliable." Bai Yanjun also breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys are hoping something will happen?" Xie Kai also relaxed and joked with the two of them.

All I get is rolling my eyes.

"The quality system has been implemented since 1984, and has been improving in recent years, so quality control is naturally not a problem. More importantly, the production of a 45,000-ton large press and the use of a high-precision five-axis machining center have all played an immeasurable role in quality improvement." Xie Kai did not take credit.

In terms of quality management, no unit in the country has 404 strictness.

Even the aerospace system that first launched the "Seven Special Technical Agreements" did not have the quality system of 404.

"It's good that there is no problem with quality. But I'll be in Paris tomorrow, and I'm even more nervous. The Paris Air Show is the most advanced display platform for various types of aircraft in the world. I heard that the Soviets will make a lot of good things..." Bai Yanjun was a little worried.

Comparing with the Soviets?

That is absolutely incomparable.

"Aren't it the Su-27, MiG-29 and the A-225, the air platform they used to launch the space shuttle?" Xie Kai knew that the other party was strong, but he was not too worried. "We are not competing with them at all. The whole world knows that our aerospace manufacturing technology is not good."

He is completely a q spirit, deceiving himself.

It is fake to say that you don’t envy the Soviet Union’s technology.

Otherwise, he would not have planned for so many years to let Liu Dongsheng go to Ukraine to operate, just to accept some Soviet technology when the Soviet Union collapsed.

"Will your uncle come to Paris?" Bai Yanjun suddenly asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai shook his head.

He didn't know that he hadn't contacted Liu Dongsheng for a long time. The guy who slept in Ukraine in Ukraine had long forgotten his nephew.

"Ah~snee~"

Ukraine.

In a separate villa near the Antonov Design Bureau in the western suburbs of Kiev, Liu Dongsheng, who had just finished taking a shower and sat on the sofa with a towel wrapped in a bathrobe, swayed a red wine glass, suddenly sneezes.

"Dear, you have a cold?"

A lady who was also wrapped in a bath towel and about 40 years old and had a bloated figure appeared and asked nervously while touching Liu Dongsheng's forehead with the back of her hand.

Liu Dongsheng took down his fat hand and kissed it on the back of his hand, "Dear, you are too nervous. I don't have a cold."

"It's better to see a doctor..." the lady frowned and said, "I don't want you to be sick, that will lose a lot of happy time..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Dongsheng blocked her mouth with her mouth.

So, an earth-shaking war broke out on the sofa.

The clouds were closed and the rain stopped. Liu Dongsheng, who was sweating profusely, did not even have the strength to move his fingers.

However, the lady took out a Cuban cigar from the coffee table next to her, stuffed it into Liu Dongsheng's mouth, and then skillfully lit it with a lighter.

"Dear, how is it going to Paris with An-225 tomorrow? Did your father agree?" Liu Dongsheng asked casually after spitting out a circle of eyes.

"My dad agreed, but asked us not to mess around in Paris..."

"Mu~Ma~" Liu Dongsheng kissed the woman's somewhat old face, "Dear, let's do it again... You old fairy, so charming..."

So, the war that had just stopped broke out again...

On the runway outside the aircraft manufacturer, which is not far from the villa, a huge silver-white transport plane with three engines mounted on both sides of the wings was quietly parked on the open airport runway.

On the back of the wing, there is a space shuttle of equal size.

Countless technicians wearing work clothes were busy inside and outside the plane, and there were also many senior officials discussing what...

This was the most powerful fantasy aircraft in the Soviet Union, and it had just completed its first mission on the Blizzard space shuttle on May 12.

Until now, it has not taken off again for more than a month.
