"You are planning to sell the early warning aircraft to Kuwait? That is the only early warning aircraft in China and the basis for the future development of early warning aircraft..."

Zheng Yucheng was frightened by Xie Kai's thoughts.

Even Xie Jianguo frowned, "Xie Kai, although the domestic Air Force does not want it, as long as the research and development continues, the Air Force will purchase it. If foreign countries learn about the technical details, it will be a problem in the end. We can infer the real performance of our latest early warning aircraft..."

Yue Lin originally wanted to say something, but after hearing Xie Jianguo's words, he stopped talking.

Kuwait is going to purchase three early warning aircraft. Such a big thing alarmed not only the senior management of 404, but also Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan.

The two of them didn't speak at this moment, just looked at Xie Kai.

"Tell me your reasons. Since you convened this meeting, you should have reason to convince us." Long Yaohua directly asked Xie Kai to give me the reasons.

Selling early warning aircraft to Kuwait is no trivial matter.

Watching Xie Kai grow step by step, Long Yaohua and the others also know that every time Xie Kai proposes, there are reasons to convince them.

So I was too lazy to express their attitude and let Xie Kai convince them directly.

Even the other leaders of 404 were a little surprised when they saw the attitudes of Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan.

Does Xie Kai's words work like this now?

"Chief, if we develop any weapon and equipment without the recognition of users, it is a failure. When the Air Force proposed the indicators, our early warning aircraft also meets the needs of the previous Air Force. But now with the changes in the form of war, our early warning aircraft project has fallen behind before it has been completely successful... This is not a problem of the Air Force, nor is it our problem, because our technical foundation is too poor..."

Xie Kai spoke.

Before the Y-10 had not obtained an airworthiness permit, the Air Force was discussing matters with them about the early warning aircraft project.

Even for this project, the Air Force supported a group of technicians.

Before China, early warning aircraft technology was completely blank and had no foundation.

With the Y-10, you have to consider internal electronic equipment, antenna systems, etc.

Just the butterfly antenna on the back, there are a group of people who specialize in researching the problem.

The early warning aircraft built by 404 can be said to be a hodgepodge.

The radar technology on the f-14, Su-27, ep-3, Israel's Felcon radar, etc., of course, domestic radar technology is indispensable...

As long as all the technologies related to this are integrated into it by the 404 Base and the Air Force technicians.

This allows 404 to have the technology of early warning aircraft.

Without early warning aircraft, Xie Kai would have no way to let the Blue Army show integrated combat for Camel.

But that technology is the first time that 404 integrates many technologies and countless technical standards, which leads to the technical performance of the entire project being much worse than expected after it was developed.

Although the Air Force did not have early warning aircraft and the wallet was weak, it directly and clearly stated to the 404 project team that this thing has poor technical performance and does not meet the Air Force's development requirements.

The design must be re-improved and technical performance must be improved.

Otherwise, the 404 should not expect the Air Force to purchase the early warning aircraft they developed.

"These are all facts. But this early warning aircraft is the integration of our most advanced technology in China..." Li Mingshan reminded Xie Kai, "Once we master it internationally, the development of our early warning aircraft can be inferred to the real performance."

"Chief, this is not the integration of the most advanced technologies in our country. Due to our lack of technical experience, it is very difficult to integrate multiple technical standards. Especially based on the Felcon radar, solid-state active phased array radar cannot be integrated, and can only use traditional rotating mechanical scanning radar..."

Yue Lin is clear about this.

His words made Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and others a little surprised.

"Didn't you say that you are on the active phased array radar before?"

Although 404 has joined the military representatives, many projects are independently developed and only when the troops successfully develop the R&D will purchase them. Therefore, the military representatives are not very familiar with the information of these projects that have not signed a procurement contract for 404's self-raised funds.

"This is why the Air Force doesn't want it. They know that there is more advanced technology..." Yue Lin's words were full of bitterness.

He is now in charge of the base logistics.

For all projects, as long as there are no orders, they have to invest money continuously.

After he fully understood the base's projects, he realized how expensive the 404 project was.

It's just money or a small matter.

The key is that he has to help poach people in various systems across the country, and he also has to contact supporting facilities...

"Is this really there?" Long Yaohua said this on purpose because Xie Kai said it deliberately in order to sell early warning aircraft.

After Yue Lin accepted the position of logistics director at the 404 base, he became the same as Zheng Yucheng, Wang Guilin and others before.

He really wanted to say, Yue Lin, you have changed...

"The Chief, the Israelites' Felcon radar, is a phased array radar with electric scanning, but the Israelites did not make much breakthrough in this..." Xie Kai was a little proud.

From the beginning of the f-14 wreckage, the base began research on active phased array radar.

In this regard, China has a considerable technical foundation. Especially after the 7010 radar was put into service, China began to miniaturize active phased array radars. Due to electronic technology, no breakthrough has been made.

404: Doing this, integrating domestic foundations and investing a lot of capital, has made rapid progress over the years.

A small active phased array radar was created, but it could not be integrated into the early warning aircraft of the Y-10 as the platform.

The reason is that the domestic large passenger aircraft manufacturing experience is not rich enough. Whether it is a butterfly antenna or a ball nose antenna, installing it has a great impact on the original aerodynamic layout of the Y-10.

"If we want to meet the requirements of the Air Force, we can only continue. Continuing research will require more funds. Originally, our investment in this area must take into account all the projects in the entire base. Unless it depends on the benefits brought by the project, we will not increase the investment in a single project..."

Long Yaohua, Li Mingshan and others knew what Xie Kai said.

404 As a self-raised R&D fund and an independent operating unit will naturally focus on research funds to projects that can bring benefits.

Many projects that cannot generate profits in the short term, are technically difficult and require a lot of funds are being studied slowly.

359 tanks, flying shield-359, avant-garde air defense missiles, sky arrow anti-tank missiles, ground red flags, Super-7 series fighter jets, etc., that is the focus of 404 research investment; even the investment of naval ships is based on orders, just an aircraft carrier is a gold-swalking beast.

In addition, many in the field of folk products require a lot of early research and development and investment, which puts 404 under great pressure in terms of funds.

Early warning aircraft and large military transport aircraft are impossible to get more funds.

This is true for any unit.

Even if the country's investment in the field of science and technology is arranged according to its importance.

"What do you mean is to sell early warning machines and then use profits to invest in the research and development of new early warning machines technology to speed up the research progress?" Long Yaohua asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai nodded.

Until now, the few people in 404 have stopped talking.

It’s okay if you don’t consider how many gold-swalking monsters there are in 404 and don’t consider their financial situation.

If you think about this, anyone will have a big head.

"What should I do if I keep technology confidential? How to consider national defense security?" Li Mingshan asked the most critical question.

To be honest, for them, no one wants to export any advanced weapons and equipment.

Even if you lag behind the international level, such strategic things should not be exported.

Foreign countries will try their best to study these technologies, further analyze possible development directions, and infer to and analyze how far their technology has developed based on the national scientific and technological basis of the research technology.

Therefore, new weapons are developed in a targeted manner.

Spears and shields are always constantly stimulating each other to develop.

The sharper the spear, the less likely the shield to be penetrated; the less likely the shield to be penetrated, the more sharp the spear will develop.

This is an infinite circle.

No country can stop moving forward in technological research and development for national defense and security.

Just like the J-8ii project, wasn’t it just that the domestic fighter jets could not defend against the Map-22m reverse fire fighter jets and cooperated with the United States?

This is the case with the development of weapons and equipment in all countries.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. In this regard, it is fully demonstrated.

The more advanced the technology, the safer the national defense will be.

"Chief, these technologies are best disclosed to foreign countries. If something is hidden, it may not necessarily lead to better results. The military strategy says: If the virtual is real, the real is virtual. Only when the virtual is combined can the opponent not understand the real situation... If the Zhanhushishi is bragging, who can know the situation in our country in terms of active phased array technology?"

"You are still showing off your military tactics here..." Long Yaohua gave Xie Kai a blank look.

When Xie Kai saw his expression, he knew that they agreed.

Sure enough, Li Mingshan spoke, "You have done a lot of this kind of business. We still don't participate in your independent projects, but there is one thing that we must definitely pay attention to technical confidentiality and not harm national interests for the sake of the interests of the enterprise!"

"Don't worry, Chief, we have always been supreme national interests, and corporate interests also make way for national interests."

Xie Jianguo was also happy.

According to Xie Kai's previous statement, a KJ-10 they developed was priced at US$220 million.

The actual cost is only 150 million soft sister coins.

How high is the profit in the middle?

The Kuwaits purchased three aircraft and invested all of this money in the research and development of new technologies. It won't take long to find a new early warning aircraft that meets the requirements of the Air Force.

"Will the Kuwaitian agree to this price?"

After Li Mingshan and Long Yaohua left, the 404 people did not part.

Yue Lin is more worried, after all, their skills are still relatively backward.
