A big country of aerospace with black technology

The two J-10S that had already flown away slowly lowered their altitude and speed after completing the direction adjustment.

Pass the viewing platform at ultra-low altitude and low speed, and pass the fuselage sideways when flying over, so that everyone on the stage can clearly see the six missiles mounted under the wings.

Because the combat concept of the J-10S is to seize air supremacy with the enemy, giving priority to over-the-horizon air combat.

Therefore, in terms of weapons, there are more thunderbolt 9D air-to-air missiles for beyond visual range combat, a total of four.

"What type of air-to-air missile are they, I don't seem to have seen it before?"

After carefully observing the missiles under the wing of the J-10S, Ivanov asked Antonov beside him.

"It seems to be very similar to their previous Thunderbolt 9, but it seems to be a little different."

Antonov's observations are more detailed, and he has a better understanding of the equipment of the Dragon Kingdom over the years, and roughly guessed the origin of this missile.

"Is the performance of this missile excellent?"

Although Ivanov doesn't know much about missiles, he also knows that they are the main source of combat effectiveness of fighter jets.

For every 10% increase in missile performance, the combat performance of fighter jets can be increased by almost 40%!

"I don't know." Antonov did not give the answer Ivanov wanted.

"That is their latest generation of air-to-air missiles. It should perform well, but they haven't announced it yet."

"Maybe at this air show, the latest performance data will be announced."

Just when the boys were discussing the performance of the missile.

The guests in Gaul are also discussing the performance of the J-10S.

"Collen, do you still think their fighters are inferior to your Rafale fighters?"

After being reprimanded for a while, Francis, who had calmed down a bit, sneered after watching the performance of J-10S.

After watching the falling leaves and Pugachev's cobra maneuver performed by the J-10S, both of them have understood that no matter what other performances say.

The engine performance of this fighter jet just launched by the Longguo people has surpassed the Rafale fighter jet that is still in the test flight stage.

Among other things, the Rafale fighter can't do these two actions.

Ke Lun's face was ugly. After all, he just blew a wave of his own fighter jets. No one would feel good if he was suddenly slapped in the face at this time.

However, as a senior executive of Dassault, he certainly would not just admit his mistakes like this, and he was also unwilling to admit that his own fighter jets were inferior to others, especially inferior to Dragon Kingdom, which he regarded as an imaginary enemy.

"Their fighters may have good maneuverability, but this is the era of beyond-visual-range air combat."

"No one ever engages in aircraft dogfights like they did in World War II."

Ke Lun forced himself to defend himself. After all, it is difficult to see the gap between air-to-air missiles except for actual combat.

"Nowadays, fighter jets compete with radars and missiles. Who will compete with you in maneuverability?"

At this moment, J-10 showed off the missiles he was carrying and flew over the viewing platform.

After reading it, Francis said thoughtfully:

"How do you know that they don't have air-to-air missiles for beyond visual range combat?"

Ke Lun laughed out loud as if he had heard some big joke, and after a while, he patted the railing in front of him and said:

"They even gave them air-to-air missiles before. How could they have developed long-range air-to-air missiles in such a short period of time."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"What if they really succeed in developing it?"

Francis also got angry at this time and said:

"Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Ke Lun also refused to give in, and asked tit for tat.

"Just bet on your chateau in Bordeaux!"

It wasn't the first day that Francis knew Columbine. He knew how many good things he had, so he directly asked him to take out his own good things to gamble.

"What about you, what will you pay back if you lose?"

"I have twelve percent of the shares in Snecma. If I lose, it will be yours!"

The bargaining chips given by Francis can be said to be very large. Compared with the shares of Snecma, a winery is nothing at all.

After all, Snecma at this time has a market value of tens of billions, and a 12% stake means that once Columbine wins the bet, Francis will lose billions!

In this era when commodity prices have not soared, billions of dollars are enough for a lifetime of debauchery.

But now it's just a bet between the two of them!

Francis seems to be at a disadvantage, but he knows the situation of Longguo better, but he knows that Longguo must have developed a long-range air-to-air missile, otherwise there is no need to make such an action.

Just when this bet is an astronomical bet is established.

Almost everyone on the crowded auditorium watched the J-10S fly away with their eyes wide open.

A special guest found Zhang Xingyang, who was standing in a corner, looking very inconspicuous.

"Haha, Zhang!"

Salman, who was wearing a gold-rimmed white robe, shouted exaggeratedly.

"We meet again!"

As a figure at the crown prince level, Salman knows very well that Zhang Xingyang has a high status in the Dragon Kingdom.

So have always maintained a good relationship.

"Hello my friend."

Zhang Xingyang stretched out his right hand and shook the other party tightly, and greeted with a smile.

"This time, is there anything you want to buy?"

The rich and powerful white robes have almost always been the focus of domestic military trade in recent years.

Zhang Xingyang was naturally very happy to see the person who was rushing to send money to his family.

Salman looked at the crowd who were almost all attracted by the J-10S that had just flown away, and whispered in his ear:

"The one that just flew over, do you sell it?"

Before the air show, Zhang Xingyang had a meeting with Song Tianxing and many bigwigs to discuss this issue.

The final conclusion is that the J-10A, which is a little behind in performance, can be sold now, and the latest J-10S can also be sold in a few years.

This is not without reason. Chengfei now has three pulsating production lines that are producing J-10 day and night.

The annual production has reached more than 200 aircraft. Even if a small part is allocated here for export, it will not affect the Air Force's replacement plan.

Moreover, in the follow-up production line of Chengfei, the J-10S with more advanced performance will be the main one. Those J-10A that have fallen behind will be exported to other countries, which can also solve the problem of overcapacity after some replacements.

"It can be sold."

Zhang Xingyang first gave an affirmative answer, and then said:

"But such a state-of-the-art fighter takes some time, I hope you can understand."

This is actually the norm in international military trade. Usually, the trade cycle of such large-scale military products is calculated in years.

For a fighter contract, the transaction cycle may reach ten years.

As for the transaction cycle of large surface combat ships, it may be longer, reaching ten or twenty years.

"We understand that, but hopefully we'll get a fully functional version by then."

Crown Prince Salman is in charge of these purchases on a daily basis, and he is very clear about the routines in international military trade.

In the military trade, many weapons sold to other countries are castrated versions, which is often called the monkey version.

For example, among the many weapons and equipment that a certain hairy bear sold to the white elephant, most of them were the monkey version, which not only greatly reduced the combat performance, but also the price was very high.

"Full performance version, may be more expensive."

Even though he knew that he was facing a big dog, Zhang Xingyang couldn't help but remind him.

After all, the price they set for the J-10S is to such an extent that normal people will feel that they have misjudged it when they see it.

"It doesn't matter, we don't care about money!"

As expected of a country that relies on selling oil for food, Crown Prince Salman doesn't care about money at all.

"The unit price of a fully functional version of a fighter jet may be around 150 million."

Zhang Xingyang gave his expected quotation after getting the guarantee from the other party.

"Dollar?"

This amount is a bit surprising even for a big dog with no shortage of money. After all, this is just a single-engine medium-sized fighter.

At this time, such fighter jets in the international market generally do not exceed 100 million.

As for the poor hairy bears who make pants, when they sold their Su-30 heavy fighter jets, the price was only 45 million U.S. dollars!

"Yes!"

Although the price given was very expensive, Zhang Xingyang didn't feel ashamed at all, but felt that it should be the price.

In fact, judging from the technological level of J-10S, this price is not very expensive.

Whether it is a high-thrust engine with a thrust of more than 3 tons, or the advanced avionics system on it, and the stealth paint, it will be regarded as a first-class advanced level even in the next ten years.

"It's a bit expensive."

Although Salman has a lot of money, he is not being taken advantage of. The price is really beyond his psychological expectations.

He originally guessed that the price of this fighter might be between 50 million and 80 million, but now the price is almost twice as high as his boldest guess!

"My friend, he is not worth the price in my mind."

After thinking about it, Salman apologized to Zhang Xingyang.

"My friend, you may not be very aware of its performance."

Looking at more and more people around, Zhang Xingyang said:

"Let's find a place to have a good chat."

The air show has a special room to entertain these customers with high purchase intentions.

Zhang Xingyang personally poured Crown Prince Salman a glass of Mingqian Longjing produced by the West Lake:

"Longjing tea picked before the Qingming Festival, please taste it, my friend."

Although Salman didn't know much about tea before, but with the increase of military trade with Longguo in the past two years, he also knows how to evaluate the quality of a tea.

After taking a sip, he put down the cup and said:

"The tea leaves are good, but my friend, what is so special about your fighter jets that makes you charge such a sky-high price!"

"Before I say anything, I want to show you a video."

Zhang Xingyang did not answer Salman's question directly, but first turned on the projector in the reception room.

The first thing that catches the eye is the first perspective of the pilot of a fighter jet, and he is still flying leisurely at this time.

Airborne radar showed no other aircraft nearby.

However, suddenly, the radar showed that there was a target behind the plane, and it was less than a few kilometers away from him.

Just as the pilot was about to speed up to widen the distance between the two sides, the fighter jet flew past a J-10S.

The blue-painted J-10S was even thoughtful, shaking its wings in front of the opponent's fighter.

It's like being provocative!

Just when the pilot in the first-person perspective was angrily preparing to speed up to catch up, he found that the gap between himself and the opponent was getting wider and wider.

In the whole process, except for a short-lived target on the radar when the J-10S skipped, it seemed that nothing was found at other times.

Although Salman is not from a military background, he has been responsible for the procurement of military equipment for many years, and he still knows a lot of military common sense.

"You applied stealth technology to this aircraft?"

After reading it, Salman asked impatiently.

"On the J-10S, we have applied various technologies that are at the top level in the world."

At this time, Zhang Xingyang almost pointed at the projection cloth, explaining to the other party frame by frame:

"The first thing you see is the special stealth design, which allows the enemy to detect our fighter at a close enough distance."

"The second is the super powerful engine system. In fact, at this time, the J-10S is in a state of supersonic cruise!"

Salman was a little surprised at this time. After all, at this time, there is no fighter jet in the world that can achieve supersonic cruise.

Everyone's third-generation fighter jets basically need to turn on the afterburner before they can enter the supersonic state.

It is said that the fourth-generation aircraft that Yingjiang just made its first flight not long ago can do this.

But after all, the research and development work has not been completed, and it is incomparable with the fighter jet that has almost completed mass production in front of me.

"Your fighter jets are really capable of supersonic cruise?"

Salman, who felt a little unbelievable, confirmed it carefully.

"Yes, our J-10S can perform supersonic cruise at a speed of Mach 1.2 without turning on the afterburner."

Faced with Salman's question, Zhang Xingyang replied with a smile.

"As for the stealth performance, because of the stealth design and special coating, the radar reflection area of ​​the aircraft can be reduced to 10% of the original."

Hearing Zhang Xingyang's explanation, Salman, who originally thought it was a little expensive, felt that the price was simply the price of cabbage!

I couldn't help but gave a thumbs up and said:

"You guys are really amazing!"

At this time, it is the only fighter on the entire planet that can come up with such a fighter that is infinitely close to the performance of the fourth-generation aircraft.

No matter what the price is, it is not very expensive.

"What about the weapon system?"

"Can it be compatible with missiles from other countries?"

In the end, Salman asked about the most important part of the fighter.

"We have adopted a 3+3 layout weapon mounting scheme, which can carry four long-range air-to-air missiles and two short-range air-to-air fighting bombs."

After Zhang Xingyang explained, he added:

"If you need to be compatible with other countries' missiles, we can make some modifications for you, but you need to add a little money."

At this time, Salman already felt that the price was worth the money, so he waved his hand and said:

"Let's try 81 first, and if it works, we can continue to cooperate in depth!"

The people present were all good at mathematics, and quickly realized that this would be a huge arms sales project exceeding tens of billions of dollars!

And this is still the price of a fighter jet, as for the various supporting ground support equipment, it has not been included!

If you add various supporting missiles and ground radar systems, the entire military sales price may be close to 20 billion US dollars!
