"Hello, Your Excellency Salman, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Pinkov, the most famous military reporter in the world." Pinkov looked at the people opposite with excitement on his face.
There were a lot of people at this air show, so he was lucky to meet Salman. People in the Middle East are very rich, and he could earn a good salary by helping introduce them here.
Although he is a famous military reporter, Pingkov is not yet prosperous and is often worried about his wallet.
"A famous military reporter?" Salman's subordinate said: "What articles have you written?"
"A few years ago, I predicted that Dongfang would purchase the Varyag for military purposes. Now the facts have proven my prediction. I have made many predictions, and in the end, the facts have proved that my prediction was correct.
!”
This is what Pingkov is most proud of, he is a great prophet!
"Okay, Mr. Pinkov, can you predict what the first J-31A fighter will do in the flight demonstration?" Salman became interested.
J-31A fighter?
Pingkov cleared his throat and introduced seriously: "Everyone, the aviation industry cannot be established in a day. Whether it is the United States or Europe, they all have a profound foundation and have developed step by step until now. Before Mingzhou Group
It has never been involved in the aviation industry, and even the entire eastern aviation industry is the worst, so the fighters they develop are just appearance-worthy products, with a deceptive appearance, but in fact they do not have very strong performance."
Salman's face slowly darkened.
They have already set their sights on the J-31A and have signed a contract. Of course they want to hear good things about this fighter. The person in front of them actually belittles this fighter in such a way, which is very disappointing.
"Just a few years ago, Dongfang was still in the era of J-7 and J-8. In order to improve the level of their aviation industry, they specially imported Su-27 fighters and production lines from Damao. This aircraft is the most advanced in Dongfang. Of course.
, restricted by the contract they signed at the time, they could only use it for their own use and could not export it, so they created a low-end product to occupy the market."
Low-end goods?
"Isn't the stealth machine the most high-end?"
"Yes, the stealth aircraft is the most high-end, but the Eastern one is not." Pingkov continued: "Everyone, the US Air Force has formulated the standard for the fourth generation aircraft, which is four S, supersonic cruise, super maneuverability, low
Detectability and over-the-horizon combat capabilities. Look at the J-31A again. Except for its unproven stealth capability, there is nothing else. This aircraft just fools those who don’t understand.
people…"
Salman's face became even more ugly, and his assistant quickly took out a gold watch: "Mr. Pinkov, your analysis is very good, but we have other things to do, let's stop here!"
Pingkov looked at the gold watch in surprise, then looked at the figures of several people who had left. He rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and followed behind.
There were many people, and Pingkov followed them from a distance without arousing any alertness from the other party. When he saw those people actually walking to the J-31A booth, he suddenly thought of something and was secretly happy.
News, this is definitely big news! He finally found valuable news. If this report is published, it will definitely cause a sensation around the world, and he, a military reporter, will become famous because of it.
When Salman and others walked to the J-31A booth, Qin Tao had just finished chatting with his father-in-law and planned to wander around again. Seeing that Salman and others looked unhappy, Qin Tao also felt a little bit
Puzzled.
"Guys, what happened?"
"Qin, does this fighter of yours have the characteristics of a fourth-generation fighter? How much can this fighter of yours satisfy the performance of a fourth-generation fighter?"
Are you actually dissatisfied with the performance of the aircraft?
Qin Tao looked at these guests with some surprise: "Everyone, haven't we clearly introduced the specific performance of the aircraft to you? Since you want to compare with the performance of the Four S, let's talk about it.
, for example, the most outrageously boasted supersonic cruise capability, in our eyes, is completely useless."
Is supersonic cruise useless?
Salman and others opened their eyes wide.
"Ordinary fighter jets need to turn on afterburner to achieve supersonic flight, but Americans rely on their powerful engine performance to achieve supersonic speeds without turning on afterburner, and then use this indicator as the basic standard for fourth-generation aircraft.
"Qin Tao said: "It sounds very powerful, allowing the fighter plane to reach the battlefield in a shorter time. However, this comes at the expense of the fighter plane's range. Even if the afterburner is not turned on, its fuel consumption is still higher than that of an ordinary Asian fighter jet.
The fuel consumption of flying at the speed of sound is much greater. According to American standards, their F-22 fighter jet can fly at a speed of Mach 1.5 for half an hour. You can do a simple calculation. It can usually fly two to three thousand kilometers on fuel, which is exceeded.
The sonic cruise was burned out at a thousand kilometers!”
Both Android and Apple are available.]
Supersonic cruise is certainly awesome, but it requires a powerful engine to support it. In fact, no other aircraft in the world can do it except the F-22. As for some aircraft proudly claiming that they can supersonic cruise
The capability is actually pseudo-supercruise, because it can only exceed Mach 1.3, because this speed is the speed with the greatest supersonic resistance. Only when it reaches 1.4 or above can it be called true supersonic cruise.
Even without afterburner, the fuel consumption rate will be very high.
When these data were laid out, Salman and others reacted. Looking at it this way, it was indeed useless.
"Supersonic cruise can only be achieved by a twin-engine fighter. Our J-31A does not have this capability, nor does the JSF developed by the Americans. They have also realized that this performance is useless.
So I don’t insist anymore. Compared with supersonic cruise, it is more important for a fighter jet to fly farther.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Originally, they felt that they were fooled by Pingkov, but after Qin Tao's explanation, everyone came to their senses.
"Who are you listening to bragging about supersonic cruise?"
Our own fighters are not bad in other capabilities, but they are not capable of supersonic cruise. Qin Tao is very surprised. He doesn't know who instilled such a theory into them.
"There is a military strategist named Pinkov," Salman's aide said.
Pingkov? It is indeed this guy!
"You probably don't know that Pingkov had some conflicts when we were having dinner last night." Qin Tao said, "So, Pingkov started to slander us everywhere."
Is there still this problem? That Pingkov went too far? He has such a strong sense of revenge that he actually deceived his own side?
Salman and others all looked ugly.
"At that time, when we heard Pingkov boasting about the IDF fighter jets, we made a fair evaluation. As a result, Pingkov and others couldn't argue with us, so they left angrily. At that time, they even made harsh words to slander our aircraft.
, I didn’t expect that they would actually go to you and slander me.”
IDF fighter jet? Of course Salman doesn’t know what kind of aircraft it is, but the cause and effect relationship between these things is pretty clear.
"I'm very sorry that we listened to Pinkov's lies. We are very satisfied with your fighter aircraft. We look forward to equipping such fighters as soon as possible in the future!" Salman was very embarrassed: "If the research and development funds for the fighter aircraft are not enough
If it is not enough, we can continue to invest funds.”
The day's visit was over and after returning to the hotel, Salman began to get to know the IDF fighter jets.
"i don't fly?" Salman was very curious after listening to the introduction of his subordinates: "No wonder they are so dissatisfied, Mr. Qin's evaluation is too high!"
Salman had a smile on his face. This Mr. Qin is so powerful. If you say this to others, no wonder they will slander them everywhere. However, considering the relationship between the two parties, no amount of evaluation can be overestimated.
"How they evaluate it is their business, but that Pinkov actually found us and slandered international fighter jets in front of us. This is very excessive," the assistant said.
"Yes, we will not make friends with this kind of person in the future, and we will not welcome him to our country!" Salman said.
"Report!" At this moment, another subordinate ran over: "We have just received news that Pingkov is disclosing to the media our purchase of J-31A fighters!"
"What?" Salman's expression suddenly changed.
They have indeed invested in the J-31A fighter jets and even plan to introduce production lines in the future. However, for now, this project is still secret and is not convenient for public announcement, so as not to cause serious dissatisfaction in the United States and maintain a superficial peace.
Unexpectedly, Pingkov actually disclosed it. How did he know?
"Damn, this guy is really full of bad ideas. How can there be such a person in the world!" Salman was very annoyed.
Following Pinkov's disclosure, the news spread rapidly. It spread to the entire group participating in the air show that night, and the next day, it spread all over the world!
Big dog investors have invested huge sums of money to support the J-31A project!
Their final purchase quantity will exceed 300 aircraft!
These news began to fly all over the sky. Although most of them were speculations and rumors, they had a huge impact on the big dogs.
Just after Salman and others hurriedly took a special plane to return home, they encountered pressure from all aspects.
"Mr. Salman, it is very foolish for you to purchase Eastern fighter jets." Witcher-Fowler immediately made serious criticism when he met Salman for the first time.
"Currently, your fighter planes are all made by us in the United States and have formed a complete system. If you purchase Eastern fighter planes, then the data links, missiles, etc. will not be compatible. For you, these fighters are
Even though they have been purchased, they do not have any combat capabilities, and they cannot be integrated into your existing system."
To be fair, these words are correct. Individual fighter planes do not have very high combat capabilities. Big companies even have good things like early warning aircraft, but they are all made in the United States. It is destined that aircraft from the East cannot be integrated into them.
"Really? Can we get the first batch of your JSF fighter jets?" Salman had a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, judging from the current situation here, there is no need for you to obtain this kind of stealth fighter. You can already obtain sufficient air superiority by relying on the existing aircraft." Fowler said confidently.
"Really? Then why is David's country qualified to obtain this kind of aircraft? Isn't their current air superiority strong enough?"
Salman's words were full of anger. Why can the Kingdom of David have it but we can't purchase it?
"Sorry, this is a major matter related to global strategy."
"I'm not sorry. This is because you don't want us to be stronger than David. Since you don't provide it, why can't we buy it through a third party?" Salman said: "It's like when we asked you to buy it.
Same as ballistic missiles, but you don’t agree, so we can only find countries that are willing to export to us. We are not your puppets yet, we have the right to decide our own national defense policy! We purchase from outside parties, and it is not your turn yet.
Point your fingers!"
In the 1990s, the relationship between the two parties was actually not good, so now, Salman's tone was rude. After speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Fowler in a mess.
What's going on? The other party actually doesn't care about his own attitude at all?
Back in the splendid office, Salman was still angry.
As a sovereign country, the procurement of fighter jets is their own business, and it is not anyone else's turn to make irresponsible remarks. What makes them most angry is that they are treated differently by so-called allies.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This kind of pressure only strengthened his belief: they must purchase advanced Eastern fighters. They have no other motive, just that this kind of aircraft is
The fourth generation machine can be invisible!
"Your Excellency Salman, Morris, the sales representative of Dassault, would like to see you." The assistant said to him.
Dassault?
Salman frowned: "What are they here for? But let's invite them in."
In fact, he could already vaguely guess Morris's purpose.
Morris, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, walked in with a smile: "Sir Salman, I heard that you are looking for fighters other than American-made fighters all over the world. Our Dassault Rafale fighter is your best.
choose!"
Sure enough, his guess was correct! Salman looked at Morris: "Does your fighter plane have stealth capabilities?"
"Of course." Morris agreed: "Of course our fighter jets have low detectability. We took this need into consideration when designing. For example, our air inlet is designed in an S shape, and the inside cannot be seen.
The engine blades, for example, our cockpit cover is coated with a gold film, and through various means, the radar reflection area of our Rafale fighter jets is only one-tenth of that of the Mirage 2000."
Salman said this without any guilt. Their aircraft did take this need into consideration, but they did not make large-scale modifications for stealth. Their Rafale fighter jets are still far from full stealth, but
In their eyes, it's enough.
"Really?" Salman was interested: "What about the weapon system? Is it built in?"
"We believe that built-in weapons will reduce the amount of missiles that can be carried, so we use traditional pylons. Our Rafale fighter jets have fourteen pylons and can carry a large number of weapons. This is something Eastern aircraft do not have at all."
East.
Although the air show was still going on, Qin Tao had been at the air show for three days and there was nothing to see, so he returned to the north with his father-in-law.
On the plane, Xu Zhengyang introduced the recent situation to Qin Tao.
"Witcher-Fowler began to put pressure on the big players." Xu Zhengyang said: "But Salman did not buy his account at all. Later, the French went to sell Rafale fighter jets to them, but the result is unknown."
Qin Tao nodded: "As for those who know how to do business, of course they are French. The opportunity they chose is very good."
French arms are expensive, but they can still be sold. This is what surprises many people.
How expensive is it? Take Dassault's best-selling Rafale fighter jet, for example. The unit price is often hundreds of millions of dollars, which is more expensive than the F-22, but there are still people who take advantage of it.
Why?
There are many reasons. For example, they were caught between the United States and the Soviet Union in arms sales. Generally, those who purchased French goods were unable to buy large Mao or American fighter jets. Just like Ah San, they wanted to buy French goods from the United States.
Purchasing jsf is just a dream. Therefore, holding your nose and buying French goods at high prices, trying to reach the level of the United States and the Soviet Union, is the way to go.
For another example, although French products are expensive, the rebates are high! Many people on the purchasing side can eat it with their mouths watering, even if the price is high, they will admit it.
However, the popularity of the Rafale fighter only happened after the 21st century. Specifically, it would not start to gain market recognition until after 2015. In the 1990s, the Rafale fighter was still in an embarrassing situation.
This fighter jet was developed by the French in the 1980s. Although it first flew in 1986, due to the French's slow approach, so far, the Rafale fighter jet is only the initial model and can only meet the needs of
When it comes to seizing air superiority, it doesn't have the ability to be multi-functional at all. The radar is also very primitive, and the engine is still the original M88-2. In short, the performance is the kind of thing that is less than better than the worst.
Of course, in later generations, many people also claimed that the Rafale was a heavy fighter. The most interesting thing was to claim that this fighter was a heavy fighter.
Even with the M88-3, the maximum thrust is only 75 kilonewtons, and the thrust of two engines is only 150 kilonewtons. Can this kind of engine push a heavy fighter? Our J-10C is equipped with a turbofan-10c, which is a single engine.
The thrust is more than 14 tons. The old Dassault's lifelong dream was to build a twin-engine heavy fighter, and it came true in the east.
At this time, hearing what Qin Tao said, Wu Shengli was a little worried: "Then shall we make some preparations to avoid such a large loss of customers?"
The big dog is a big financial owner, and we must not let the big dog be fooled away.
"The money has been given to us, it doesn't matter even if we leave." Qin Tao said: "Besides, although the big dogs are rich, they are not like people who are stupid and have too much money. The French can't fool them."
If it is after 2015, maybe the French can really fool the big money, but now, the Rafale fighter jet is still an empty shell. Do you really think that they are stupid if they want to use this kind of aircraft to fool the big money?
Wu Shengli nodded, he deeply agreed with Qin Tao's judgment.
"However, that Pingkov is so abominable! He actually wants to step on our bodies. We need to show him how powerful he is." Qin Tao said.
"Let Zhang Zhong go up." Wu Shengli said, "Zhang Zhong is the best at doing this kind of thing."
"That's right, let Zhang Zhong go up and completely expose Pingkov's ugly face. After we go back, I have to make a careful calculation with Zhang Zhong. Although Pingkov's background was exposed last time, it is obvious that this guy
He is so thick-skinned that he is not ashamed even if he is called a traitor. We must defeat him professionally."
Pingkov's old background has long been exposed, but just like you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, it is meaningless to scold a hard-core traitor like Pingkov. This guy doesn't care at all.
.
You have to discredit this guy in what he does best!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After getting off the plane, Qin Tao ran to find Zhang Zhong. That night, a new episode of Zhang Zhong said the program started.
"At our air show, a pseudo-military expert appeared. He once compared himself to Zhukov and called him Pingkov. However, this was completely imitating others and made people laugh. He once liked to call himself a military expert the most, but now
, let us reveal the true face of this military mastermind."
Zhang Zhong had never been afraid of anyone when fighting in the media. This time he vented his anger on Mr. Qin, and he was even more motivated to fight.
"Let's look at it first. What Pingkov is most proud of is predicting the military use of the Varyag. When the Mingzhou Group purchased the Varyag, he categorically said that this warship was for military use.
After various incidents, this warship really became a military purpose, which made him a magic stick." Zhang Zhong introduced enthusiastically: "Later, we looked through a lot of information and found what Zhang Zhong wrote.
There are other reports, one of which is completely contrary to this statement!"
This issue of the newspaper, which is also a mainstream international military media, appeared on the TV screen.
"In this issue, Pinkov compared the Varyag to a piece of scrap metal that no one wants, claiming that the warship will sink at any time and has no military value at all. From this report, we can see
Looking at Pingkov's poor performance, he predicted various situations, and then waited until things evolved before looking for the propaganda that was most consistent with the facts. This kind of prediction game is a common scam!"
"As an unprofessional military reporter, Pinkov has also made many shocking remarks. Today we have found them all. For example, in this article, he publicly declared that the IDF fighter jets are so powerful that even the J-30
No one is an opponent." Zhang Zhong held this report in his hand and said with ridicule in his tone: "We would like to know, can a propeller aircraft from the World War II era still play a role in modern warfare?
How much did the other party charge for this report by Pingkov?"
Completely defeat the other party in the field they are best at and ruin the other party's reputation! What a mastermind, he is just a clown!
