1631 Someone in Section said that he wanted to rent satellites and buy early warning aircraft
Regarding Prince Sultan's statement that Saudi Arabia bought its own satellite system and did not bring Kuwaits to play with it, Rafat was the first to support it.
Immediately, he said to the prince excitedly: "Your Highness, this should have been the case. A satellite system costs no more than a few hundred million US dollars. Although the satellite system provided by the Chinese is not very technically perfect. But we get it first and then upgrade the Chinese. According to the current international technological development trend, satellite systems will become more and more important in the future, whether military or civilian, in the future..."
Lafata has been in contact with Chinese top equipment manufacturing units, and at the same time has been constantly in contact with the development direction of military equipment of the US military and European countries.
The main development direction of the US military is mathematical and informatization of equipment.
In the process of dataization and informationization, all equipment uses data links to form an effective whole.
The satellite system just happens to be the key to taking all weapons and equipment as terminals and finally integrating them into the whole.
Without satellite systems, wired signal transmission networks built on ground will be much limited in their functions.
Not very reliable.
The satellite is in space, at least hundreds of kilometers away from the ground.
It is not very difficult to destroy it.
So far, no country in the international world has developed weapons that can destroy satellites, no one in the world has developed weapons that can destroy satellites.
Satellite systems are far safer than ground network systems.
"In this war, the joint command of the theater relies on satellite transmission. In order to keep the communication smooth, the United States specially mobilized a lot of satellites... There were no problems in communication. The only problem was the problem of coordination and command and enemy-to-me identification system..."
As the commander of the National Guard, Abdullah is responsible for domestic security work.
During the Gulf War, the United War Command established in the Saudi capital Riyadh was very close.
If you often go to the Joint Command of the War Zone, you will naturally know the command system and communication methods of the Joint Command of the War Zone.
Opportunities are placed in front of them now and must not be missed.
If Saudi Arabia wants to become the leader of the Arab world, it must have advantages that other Arab countries cannot match.
Not only does it require huge financial resources, but it also requires technological strength.
Because of the lack of scientific and technological talents and poor foundation in Saudi Arabia, and has always been improving by buying and buying, not many people are willing to develop technology, so it is unrealistic for their own development.
It is impossible for European and American countries to purchase from European and American countries for their own interests.
If you have money, you can purchase it directly from countries that are willing to sell satellite systems to them.
European and American people will not sell them, and they cannot buy them from the Soviet Union, so China is the only one.
Since Chinese units are willing to sell them now, why not buy them?
Opportunities must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come.
"The only thing I am worried about now is that China's satellite communication system and positioning technology are too poor to meet our usage requirements..." Lafata is worried about China's satellite system technical performance.
He doesn't really believe in China's satellite technology.
The whole world knows that China has poor technical foundations in the field of high-end and cutting-edge technology.
Satellites are completely the top projects in the field of high-tech and have very high requirements for technical foundations.
Even though China had launched its first satellite more than 20 years ago, it has rich experience and a strong foundation.
However, compared with the technology that the Soviet Union and the United States can provide communication to any region of the world and monitor countries, China, which has successfully launched a single communication satellite, and the communication satellite performance is still much worse.
China's technology cannot reach the level of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Saudi Arabia has not considered global networking, it only needs to allow satellites to cover the entire Middle East.
If the technical performance is not good, how can we not worry?
"Don't rush to make a conclusion for the specifics. As long as Chinese satellites can meet our needs, our requirements for satellites are not as high as those of the countries and the Soviet Union..."
Prince Sultan can see clearly.
It's impossible to want something more advanced.
If you buy it from the Soviet Union, something big will happen.
If it really happens, Saudi Arabia's oil will lose its market. Not only that, it may even be attacked by multinational forces led by the US military.
Americans wouldn't mind letting Saudi Arabia change its government.
He dares to do that, who told the Soviet Union that it is no longer possible?
Buy from the United States and Europe?
Without looking at the GPS global satellite positioning system used by Americans, can the Saudis not be able to take a look at it?
Americans are willing to open up satellite usage licensing rights to Saudi Arabia. Even if you give more money, will Saudi Arabia consider that China purchases backward satellite systems?
Saudi Arabia's national defense construction is not too strict for satellite demand.
As long as the entire Middle East region can be included in the surveillance scope, the communication and command systems and intelligence systems of various countries of the Peninsula Defense Force can be integrated.
In the suite where the Kuwait delegation was located, Samako summoned several core personnel from his delegation to sit together, and told the Saudi ambitions with a serious expression.
After hearing this, Naginnon was the first to stand up angrily, "Impossible! How can our army be commanded by Saudi Arabia? Kuwait's national defense should be built by the Kuwaits themselves, and Saudi Arabia does not need to intervene! Besides, their command level..."
Not only Naginon, but even others said that it was impossible to accept Saudi Arabia's unreasonable and indecent request.
What's more, Naginon, who had seen the way of fighting in Pla and suffered a great loss in the young officers trained by Pla, looked down on the Saudi military generals.
Whatever you want, Saudi Arabia's military is the world's number one.
In terms of war, it is estimated that the African anti-government forces wearing slippers can easily overturn them.
"General, why don't we rent satellite systems from the Chinese? The Chinese will launch satellite systems themselves and we will pay the usage fee. In this way, the cost will be much lower, and there is no need to pay for the upgrade fee..."
Air Force Commander Major General Ahmed proposed his idea.
The Kuwaiti army is commanded by the Saudis, and it is absolutely untolerated.
The basis of cooperation with Saudi Arabia now is that Kuwait cannot support the purchase of a full set of satellite systems from China, especially the costs of subsequent upgrades and use.
"According to what we have learned from the United States, if we only monitor the Middle East region, we only need a geosynchronous orbit satellite... using that satellite as a communication transit station, the ground will launch military reconnaissance satellites when needed, and include early warning aircraft in the satellite network..."
Ahmed continued to introduce his thoughts in detail.
His proposal made the others frown.
It looks good.
But satellite ownership is not theirs.
Samako raised his own concerns: "China Xie is hard to speak. If they agree, it can indeed solve the problems we are facing now... Satellite ownership belongs to them and we use them ourselves. Once there is a conflict between our two countries, or China will stop supplying satellite services to us for its own interests, which will stuck us... In that case, we will be in an extremely unfavorable passive environment."
"General, you are worried too much. Even if we buy a satellite system, do you think the Chinese will not leave backdoors in the satellite system? For their own interests, they will do this to protect their interests..."
Ahmed's words made everyone silent.
Whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, they will do this.
Satellite systems are nothing else, their strategic position is really important, they don’t have the ability to develop them by themselves, and if they want to buy them, they either accept them or don’t buy them.
"So, in this case, there is not much difference between buying and renting." Ahmed's face was also disappointed.
The country is too small and has no technology and wants these strategic ones, so it can only accept these conditions.
"This is at least better than Saudi Arabia's control of our satellite system..." Samaco found a reason to comfort himself.
"Yes, Saudi Arabia may play these satellites until they lose control..." Najinon also felt that the Chinese were much more reliable than the Saudis. "Once there was a problem, they would definitely solve it with all their might..."
Others also followed suit.
The attitude of the Kuwait delegation is very clear. If Saudi Arabia wants to incorporate the entire Kuwait defense force into the peninsula defense command system to achieve the goal of interfering in Kuwait's defense construction, then the Kuwaits will not bring the Saudis to play.
Ke’s land is much smaller than Sha’s, and the population is much smaller. In terms of financial resources, it is not much worse than Sha’s.
Especially in the investment field, Sha’s investment returns in the past few decades are far less than those in Ke’s.
The biggest advantage of Ke is that he is good at making plans in advance and has a long-term vision.
Now this satellite system is Kuwait thinks it will be of great use in the future.
Although the delegations of both sides stayed in the same hotel, without giving in, both sides made up their minds to not take each other to play.
There is no disharmony on the surface.
Saudi Arabia is still communicating with the Kuwait delegation, and Kuwait also mediates with Saudi Arabia.
Because the two sides had been unable to reach an agreement, they stopped in Xiangjiang like this.
This made Xie Kai, who was waiting for the arrival of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait delegation in the country, anxious.
From the beginning in the Qilian Mountains, after the Kuwait delegation visited some equipment manufacturing plants, Xie Kai asked the base to be prepared and showed them new integrated operations when the Saudi delegation arrived again.
Including the drone that would be used as cruise missiles and transformed from the J-5, the two prototypes used for research are also ready.
Everything needs to be funded by the delegations of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
If the two delegations did not come, the prepared things could only be placed there. If the 404 R&D team wanted to continue to conduct in-depth research, they had to conduct experiments and could not wait.
Let’s experiment first. Even if there is a video, it will be far less shocking than the Kuwaits and Saudis on the spot, and the effect will be so obvious.
