2023 is too scary, predators are copying Chinese designs?
Chapter 2020 Is it so scary, is the predator copying the Chinese design?
"Everyone, this is our most advanced drone research and development and manufacturing center..."
He took a team of foreigners to visit the drone factory in Jiayuguan. Xie Kai did not act as the protagonist, but Yue Lin and the others were in charge of the introduction.
Everyone was asked to take out various open shooting equipment, and no one cared about what the other party had hidden secretly.
The base cannot be seen for foreign customers.
After signing a contract with Kuwait, 404 established a drone factory in Jiayuguan.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the superiors to approve international customers to visit the drone R&D and production center at Base 404.
"At present, our drone research direction is mainly for front-line support for integrated drones..." Zhao Xi, the father of drones, began to introduce the drones they are currently developing in detail to international customers.
"The Hornet-3 drone is mainly used to attract enemy ground firepower, with a certain reconnaissance capability, a range of 480 kilometers, electric power drive, and a stagnation time of 8 hours..."
"Flying Eagle-2, unmanned attack aircraft, is mainly used for front-line fire support, with a range of 600 kilometers and can carry 240 kilograms of ammunition..."
"No reconnaissance-6, drone reconnaissance aircraft, mainly used for reconnaissance, with a range of 1,200 kilometers and a stagnation time of 12 hours..."
The kind of researched in the base for the troops to use themselves is naturally not here.
These are relatively advanced in technology at present, and can have different functions and will not expose the true technical level.
Zhao Xi didn't understand why they asked all the models they were preparing for foreign trade to introduce all the objections.
"Your main direction is not the integrated drone of detection and attack? Why didn't you introduce your integrated drone of detection and attack? We are not interested in your professional drone of detection and attack. Especially for reconnaissance aircraft, we have the most advanced strategic unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the world!"
An American lieutenant colonel said arrogantly.
"Yes, we are here to buy integrated drones! We need to be responsible for the lives of frontline officers and soldiers..."
"If it's just these, there's no need to waste our time. We need advanced drones that meet combat needs, rather than drones with lagging performance and single-function..."
Americans expressed their dissatisfaction.
They made clear requests from the beginning, but unexpectedly, the other party introduced them to some backward ones.
Do you think they can't afford the money?
"Everyone, don't worry. Next, I will focus on our integrated drone for detection and attack. This is our latest development. Whether it is range, ammunition load, air stagnation time, or operation flexibility, it has great breakthroughs..." Zhao Xi began to arouse the appetite of Americans.
This kind of drone is currently the most advanced in performance they can sell.
Extremely comprehensive ability.
"Let me introduce it directly! No matter how you make a breakthrough, you will not be more advanced than our domestic ones!" said a lieutenant colonel arrogantly.
Xie Kai looked at this guy and was extremely upset: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, if you think we are too backward, you can purchase it from your country!"
Yue Lin was puzzled by the fact that Xie Kai had not said anything, why did he refute it at this time?
Just make Americans arrogant, just give them a knife.
"Carter!" The colonel in charge of the US delegation looked at Xie Kai, frowned, but scolded the lieutenant colonel.
The Lieutenant Colonel didn't care at all, "Am I wrong? Colonel Hausen, isn't this a fact? How advanced drones can China provide? Their technology cannot be compared with us! In the frontline command, this matter is not just an opponent! We need stronger drones to reduce casualties in the troops!"
"Lt. Col. Carter, it is the headquarters' decision to come here to inspect the procurement! I think this is not an occasion for you to express your dissatisfaction! Our here represents the dignity of the entire country's army!" Colonel Hausen said gritting his teeth.
This bastard doesn't know how much benefit he has taken over the military-industrial consortium.
Do not object, and do not face the Chinese.
This is a shame to the entire military.
When things developed like this, Xie Kai and the others were also surprised.
This is so fucking...
Of course, I can't continue to introduce it.
"Everyone, please discuss it internally. I think if it's just a quarrel, it doesn't make any sense." Xie Kai directly asked Zhao Xi not to introduce it.
It seems that domestic drone development units in the United States are very dissatisfied with the front-line troops purchasing drones in China.
Just let them discuss and then discuss it so as not to waste time.
"Thank you, we are ready to purchase!" Samako was unhappy. "The U.S. drones are indeed advanced, but they are not suitable for us to use, and they are too expensive!"
Samaco complained.
The strategic level drones in the United States, such as the RQ-4 Global Hawk, can conduct 24-hour uninterrupted surveillance of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in a 65,000-foot sky through adverse weather conditions or at night. This is the most advanced drone in the United States and is not sold.
Predators who perform tactical missions are also unwilling to sell them to Kuwait.
What remains are those small drones that perform front-line reconnaissance missions...
Zhao Xi took everyone to a huge and empty workshop next to him.
There is only one drone in the workshop.
Very big!
The wingspan of this drone is much longer than the fuselage, and the middle part is slender.
There is a long glass pod on the belly of the machine, and the engine is on both sides of the fuselage, with four hanging points under the wings on both sides.
"The rs-1 integrated drone is the abbreviation of reconnaissance strike in English. It has a length of 11.2 meters, a wingspan of 18.32 meters, and a height of 2.4 meters... It uses a turboprop engine, with a maximum take-off weight of 3,400 kg and can carry a load of 673 kg..."
"You are stealing the design of General Atomics Predator!" Seeing the appearance of the drone, Lieutenant Colonel Carter roared angrily and interrupted Zhao Xi's introduction.
Everyone was stunned.
Looking at Lieutenant Colonel Carter in surprise.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk randomly! We don't know what the predator drone of General Atomics looks like! This is the research result of our entire team for more than ten years!" Zhao Xi's face turned dark.
They really haven't seen General Atomics predators.
Because of the flat triangle-shaped drone, in order to avoid the leakage of this drone J-20, which has just entered the R&D state for several years, the drone team directly designed this large-scale integrated drone for detection and attack based on the scientific research results over the years.
At this moment, an arrogant American lieutenant colonel actually accused them of stealing someone else's design in public!
"Col. I hope you can give an explanation! Although I don't know what the predators of General Atomics look like, various parameters and technical indicators, this drone is an integration of the results that have been spent by my country's drone-related scientific researchers! You can not buy them or evaluate their performance as a result, but we must give an explanation for this matter!" Xie Kai had a dark face. If the other party did not apologize, he would not take any scruples.
These Americans are used to being arrogant.
Even the Kuwaits and Saudis next to them think that the Americans are too much.
Just a lieutenant colonel.
Especially Samako, who has worked with 404 for a long time, knew that 404 was studying drones as early as 1991 when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
"Lieutenant Colonel, although their drone looks very similar to General Atomics' predators, I want to tell you, Hongqi Machinery Factory, when we first purchased defense equipment from China in 1991, they were already working on drones, and several models were like this..."
Samaco completely slapped the other person in the face.
He has long been unhappy with the arrogance of the Americans.
Especially this Lieutenant Colonel Carter.
Samaco has endured constant time.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry! I will report this to the headquarters immediately! I don't think Lieutenant Colonel Carter did it on purpose!" Colonel Hausen looked at Lieutenant Colonel Carter for a while with a cannibalistic look, and then apologized to Zhao Xi and others with sincerity.
"Let him apologize!" Xie Kai accepted Hausen's apology. "In order to express our sincerity in cooperation, we are willing to show you the most advanced drones. Even the R&D center allows you to visit, not to make doubts!"
Everyone was watching Carter.
Although Carter was arrogant, he still had to speak on such occasions even if he didn't want to apologize, "I'm sorry, your design is almost the same as that of the predators!"
"Internationally, many fighter jets developed by different countries use the same aerodynamic layout and have similar appearances! Lieutenant Colonel Carter, you don't even understand the specific configuration, so you say we have stole other people's research results..." Xie Kai looked cold.
This is a completely different drone from the predator.
Although, at the beginning, Xie Kai directly used the predator's appearance and other things.
Although drones were used on the previous battlefield, they did not attract much attention.
Until this time, the Shadamu regime was overthrown, but the terrorist attacks in Iraq and Afghanistan became more and more intense, and the role of drones in the war on terror began to be highlighted.
"I'm very sorry!" Hausen apologized again.
Carter, this bastard, lost all the face of the country.
At this point, naturally, I can't continue.
Hausen kept apologizing, and Xie Kai naturally couldn't keep chasing this matter.
Anyway, there is still that grandson, so it is impossible to talk about.
"This is exactly like a predator!" Lieutenant Colonel Carter was very aggrieved. "Even if the design is similar, it cannot be so similar..."
Chapter completed!
