"How many to purchase? Thank you, don't we have technical cooperation?" Dastram bowed his head to a young man like Xie Kai, wasn't it just for technology?

What's the point if it's just purchasing?

Only with the manufacturing technology, the Chinese help them build production lines, and then cultivate their own scientific research system, they can improve these fighters without having to buy them all the time.

National defense cannot be bought.

"There is indeed technical cooperation. Technology research and development are shared by both of us. Of course, only part of the technology belongs to the common ownership. When the contract was signed, we had already successfully developed..." Xie Kai unceremoniously reported the original situation to this person. The deputy minister gave a brief introduction.

Dastram looked embarrassed, even embarrassed to propose something.

I had no choice but to go back and find Mubara, Altat and others, "China seems unwilling to let us have production capacity."

Mubara understands Xie Kai and people who understand 404. It was originally their mistake. It is impossible for others to say nothing. "Two people, how much do our Air Force need to purchase? If there is an order for more than 150 aircraft, For them, everything is easy to talk about."

Mubara, who knows the Chinese, knows that as long as the amount is high enough, there will be no problems with China.

150, even if all of them are Super-7A, this will cost nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars. If you include the production line and the total amount is more than two billion US dollars, the boy Xie Kai estimates that they will sell everything except mushroom bombs.

I don't know if this kid can get mushroom bomb technology.

"You know the current defense budget. We don't have much funds to equip new fighters." Dastram looked at Mubara helplessly.

If Pakistan can be as rich as Saudi Arabia, there is no need to consider these issues.

Directly drop hundreds of orders and replace all the backward fighters in the country. Both the Mirage III and the J-6 in the 1950s were seriously behind and could not keep up with the construction of the Air Force.

"What we need is an integrated fighter with a larger combat radius and a stronger ground attack capability. Although the mobility of the Super-7A is good, it cannot meet all the needs of our national defense." Alentar looked at Mubara. , Very embarrassing.

The Air Force needs not only light fighters for close combat missions, but also long-range use to strike enemy missile launch positions and nuclear weapons facilities.

Beginning in the 1970s, the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, further subdivided the combat functions of fighter aircraft required by the Air Force. Offensive, air defense, and interdiction tasks for short range were assigned to light aircraft, while long-range tasks were assigned to heavy aircraft. . The Soviet Union uses the heavy-duty SU-27+light MiG-29; the United States uses the heavy-duty F15+light F-16. This is also the idea of ​​collocation of light and heavy that must be followed in the development of the air force of the world's major powers.

It is not who wants to maintain two types of equipment at the same time, hoping that logistics maintenance and maintenance will be more complicated, but such a combination will lower the cost of air force maintenance and use.

In terms of combat, it is no longer necessary to let short-legged light fighters carry out long-distance attacks, or allow long-legged twin-engine heavy fighters to perform close-range missions, so as to improve combat efficiency and reduce the cost of using fighters.

It was a very obvious example in the Anglo-Mara Islands War.

Because Britain abandoned the research and development of heavy bombers, after the outbreak of the war, Britain launched the "Black Bull Operation" operation. Vulcan bombers performed combat missions. It was completely laborious, because two Vulcan bombers performed missions and flew back and forth for more than 10,000 kilometers. , Need the support of 11 victory tankers to complete the task.

Similarly, because of the long distance, the British only participated in the operations of the Sea Harrier fighters on the aircraft carriers. For the fighters equipped by the Argentine Air Force, they did not have much advantage at all.

If compared with the two air forces, the British completely crushed the Argentine air force, but the air force did not achieve much.

Switching to the Soviet Union and the United States, the outcome of the war would never be the same.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

The development of military equipment in these two countries has always influenced the development direction of military equipment technology in the entire world.

Just as the steel torrent of the Soviet Union once flooded the powerful German advanced tank force, and then the Soviet Union went further and further in the direction of the construction of the steel torrent team. The world, even superpowers such as the United States, followed to build their steel torrent...

Pakistan does not have the ability to equip fighters with such a combination of light and heavy. It can only find a way to equip an advanced fighter with a long range, and equip a batch of fighters with a short range to make up for the lack of a combination of light and heavy.

If equipped with too many super-7A, short-legged tactical fighters with insufficient range and small combat radius, the future will be difficult.

"We can use the Super-7A and Super-7B models as bargaining chips." Mubara reminded, "The Super-7B is originally a dual-engine version of the Super-7A, and the performance will definitely be greatly improved. upgrade……"

For Mubara, investing in scientific research projects in China requires that the Chinese side invest in them when they have not researched it out, in order to obtain greater benefits at a lower cost.

"The 50 million US dollars invested by the 359 tank in the early stage have been fully recovered, and we have even obtained a lot of technology, even if these technologies are a little behind in the world, only when a complete foundation is established can we achieve greater development. With this opportunity, we will establish our fighter R&D and production system. We can slowly research on the more advanced ones in the future. We always rely on buying, and we can’t buy a stable national defense.” Mubara clearly expressed his views, this is not the first time. once.

In Pakistan, he is not alone.

Countries that have suffered big losses in the war have such an idea.

The Soviet Union was only established during World War I. At that time, their country did not even complete industrialization, but in just a few decades, technology developed to the limit of mankind. All this was due to the world economy on the eve of World War II. In the crisis, a large number of factories in the United States went bankrupt and the Soviet Union moved back from the United States to the entire industrial infrastructure system. This resulted in the Soviet Union that now stomped the earth.

European countries were originally industrial powers. Eventually, because of the United States, they abolished martial arts and believed in the integration of the United States. As a result, their industrial system is now abolished and they can only follow the United States and brag and shout...

China is far more farsighted than any other country. They will not only buy equipment, but a full set of technologies. Without technology, I would rather give up advanced equipment. As long as the whole set of technology is provided, even if the technology is backward, it is not a problem.

In this way, China's industrial system has gradually improved.

The basic industrial system originally aided by the Soviet Union has been digested by the Chinese, but what the Soviet Union does not provide is now being obtained from Western countries that have become friendly with them.

Mubara can even be sure that as long as the Chinese continue to study, in the end, China, which combines the two technological systems of the Soviet Union and Western countries, will lead the world's technological development with technology.

Pakistan needs to learn from China and introduce from China various basic technologies that integrate the Soviet and Western technological systems, so that it will remain invincible in the future.

"But the Chinese are not willing to provide us with technology. If they are willing to provide technology, our total number of Super-7A and Super-7B can even be equipped with 300, and China provides core components, and we will produce some simple components first. , And then gradually produce core components.” Dastram thought about it, and after adding up with Alenthal, he said cautiously.

"Among them, about 180 super-7A and 120 super 0-7B. A few are imported from China, a part of the quantity is provided by China to provide parts and we assemble, and the rest are produced by us, and China provides materials and technical guidance for us. Domestic production..." Alenthal said his thoughts.

The price of Super-7A is several million dollars more expensive than J-7, and the price of Super-7B will be higher. The quantity of 300 aircraft is almost the limit that the Pakistan Air Force can support.

Introducing technology to manufacture and produce by oneself, for Pakistan, can reduce a lot of costs.

This is basically the process of China's import of technology and equipment. Only in this way can the entire Pakistani defense industry be gradually established and improved.

Mubara looked shocked, "We don't have such a large amount of funding. Congress will not approve such a large procurement agreement."

Pakistan’s domestic economy is inherently poor, and it still relies on US military assistance every year.

According to the number of 180 Super-7A, even if it only costs 10 million U.S. dollars each, this is 1.8 billion; the Super-7B is 20 million U.S. dollars per one, 120, which will be 2.4 billion U.S. dollars, with a total of more than 4.2 billion U.S. dollars. Including interest, the price will be higher, which is simply not what the Pakistani military can afford.

"To develop comprehensive economic cooperation with China, aren't they great for making money? Let them help us make money..." Dastram said.

Mubara is not too optimistic about such a plan.

What Xie Kai needs are all kinds of mineral resources, but Pakistan does not have the rich mineral resources that 404 needs. The most abundant resource in Pakistan is coal, but China's coal is even more abundant. The freight cost of transporting coal from Pakistan to China is uncomfortable.

"Order for 300? General, isn't this a joke?" Xie Kai looked at Mubara in shock, hoping to see that it was a joke from his face.

However, it did not.

"General, does your air force really need so much?" Bai Yanjun's voice was a little dry.

Originally, they expected the Pakistan Air Force to order up to 150 aircraft, which is still the largest case.

Pakistan's domestic fighters are old and backward, and it is not easy to replace them all.

With the development of science and technology, the cost of equipment such as fighters is getting higher and higher because of its technical performance.

"Yes, 300. We need a full set of manufacturing technology, including production lines!" Mubara nodded affirmatively, "Just like you imported technology from the world..."

Xie Kai somewhat doubted the other party's purpose.

Even if Pakistan wants to introduce technology, it will not be able to support such a huge procurement expenditure.
