1277 Sukhoi came to the door
"It's nothing wrong." Xie Kai joked awkwardly. "Lao Yi, your calculation level is getting better and better."
Ibrahim's face turned dark.
"Who told you that the Soviets refused to provide the engine? Who told you that we were not going to deliver the goods after we collected the money?"
"In that case, when will our fighter plane be delivered and what are the backup engines we need?"
Yibrahim asked Xie Kai sharply.
Even though he is no longer responsible for the procurement of weapons and equipment in Iraq, this is the contract he signed with Xie Kai before.
If the transaction cannot be completed, everything he will eventually be lost. No matter how far he hides, President Sha Damu will never stop dealing with him just because he is a relative.
Yibrahin knew this, so he came to Xie Kai after understanding the situation, hoping that Xie Kai could solve the problem.
President Ibrahim, who has given the money, will even think that Ibrahim and the Chinese have joined forces to deceive the government!
Xie Kai understands Yibrahim's situation very well.
Now he has no choice, the Soviets are busy quarrel with Western countries.
"Thank you, the Soviets have made it clear to us that they will not provide you with engines... Now, the Soviet Union is increasing its efforts to promote MiG-29 fighter jets. The president is very angry about this... We signed an agreement and paid the equipment in advance..."
Whether it is the shameful private act between the two parties or the private relationship between them, Yibrahin cannot turn against Xie Kai now.
Tell Xie Kai directly that the president also knew about this and was furious.
Xie Kai spread his hands, "Lao Yi, you know, we didn't do it on purpose. But don't worry, we are trying to solve it. If it really doesn't work, we will seek to change the Western engine and complete the delivery within the specified time. In that way, the performance will even be improved. We will look for an engine that is more advanced than the rd-33."
Xie Kai was not trying to explain to Ibrahim.
I hope to tell Sha Damu through Ibrahim.
Originally, he wanted to drag the Gulf War out, and Iraq was sanctioned by the United Nations.
In that case, the 404 has every reason to refuse delivery. When the United Nations no longer imposes sanctions on Iraq, domestic turbine engines will be available.
It wasn't too late to deliver that time.
It is very common for international equipment transactions to delay delivery for 10 or 20 years.
Just like the F-16 purchased by Pakistan from the United States, it was purchased in the 1980s and was not delivered until the 21st century.
Yibrahin looked at Xie Kai, who was a little afraid to look at him. He was indeed doing a bit too much in this regard. He dared to give any promises for money, but they even spent the money, but they couldn't deliver it at that time.
"Thank you, you need to explain this to the president, and the president's people should come to you soon."
Yibrahim reminded Xie Kai, even with gloating in her eyes.
"Maybe the president feels like you have been fooled by you. At the suggestion of some people, he will arrange someone to kill you..."
Xie Kai immediately cursed this old guy in his heart.
Sha Damu is sometimes a lunatic. If he is really cruel to find someone to kill himself, it will be troublesome.
How many countries still want to kill themselves?
But his face remained calm and said calmly: "Lao Yi, judging by the current situation, do you think the Soviet Union would refuse to export engines? The MiG-29 was so bad, the Soviets promoted it to the world, who else would be willing to purchase it? Their economic difficulties were extremely difficult, and the fighter jets could not be sold, and the factories would even be shut down and bankrupt!"
In the short term, it is almost unrealistic.
It will take quite a while to find a suitable spare engine from Western countries and replace it with the Super-7a.
If you change the engine with different Western technical standards, this will lead to changes in the power system design of the entire fighter, and even the aerodynamic layout needs to be redesigned. After the design is completed, it will not be completed in a short time.
In that case, orders over -7a will be seriously affected.
Bai Yanjun nodded and turned around and went out to arrange for people to contact the Soviets.
As long as the Soviets were willing to negotiate, even if they were to pay more profits to the Soviets, it would be much better than looking at the huge orders and even a single fighter could not be produced.
The Super-7a only requires one engine, and many current intention orders are Super-7b, which is about to fly for the first time.
A Super-7b requires two engines, resulting in a larger engine gap between China.
At the air show, the problems that occurred between MiG-29 and Su-27 gave the Soviets a headache.
I originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to sell advanced Soviet fighter jets to the world in large quantities to solve the problems of insufficient factory operation rate and serious government deficit.
But judging from the current situation, the original plan is difficult to achieve.
Their intention to continue the opportunity to cause trouble to Westerners was also disappointed because the various evidences of the French were thrown out.
Sukhoi, who was originally ordered to wait, finally couldn't hold back.
While Xie Kai was waiting for the Soviets to reply, Sukhoi general manager Mikhail Pogoxiang and business manager Chervakov took the initiative to find Xie Kai and others.
At first, Xie Kai was a little incredible when he heard General Manager Sukhoi coming to the door.
But soon, he understood that Sukhoi could not hold on.
Sukhoi came to the door, definitely to export the Su-27 fighter jet to China.
The Al-31 engine used by the Su-27 is more advanced than the rd-33 engine used by the MiG, perhaps...
Xie Kai's idea was dispelled as soon as it appeared.
Not to mention that the Soviets were unwilling to provide it, so what if they were willing to provide it?
In the short term, there is no way to solve the problems encountered by China's lack of engine delivery of large quantities of orders.
With the al-31 engine, the design needs to be modified in the end.
Just like Western countries seeking engines, the aerodynamic layout of the entire fighter may change.
With stronger thrust, if the engine performance is fully utilized, modifications must be made to the aerodynamic layout, etc. The Super-7a design was built on the rd-33 engine from the very beginning.
What's more, the al-31 engine is used by the J-10. If the Super-7a also uses this engine, the J-10 will be done in the end.
Xie Kaike does not want their problems to be unable to equip the domestic air force.
The goal of over-7 is to export.
J-10 is for domestic air force.
"Thank you, your fighter jets performed very well, congratulations!" Mikhail looked at Xie Kai with a smile on his face.
Even if he is unhappy with the achievements made by Chinese fighter jets, he cannot change it.
"Thank you! We are just starting out. Compared to Sukhoi, our technology and experience are still far from each other, and there is still a long way to go. After all, the Super-7a is just a light fighter!"
Xie Kai said it seriously.
He has some compliments for the general manager of Sukhoi.
Even if I knew each other before, I felt embarrassed.
In particular, Sukhoi's people did not talk to those in charge of Bai Yanjun, but directly looked for Xie Kai, which shows that their purpose was extraordinary.
Chapter completed!
