Arms order, a super arms order. A US$52.2 billion arms order. This order shocked the whole world after it was revealed.
Such a large arms order is very rare. In addition to the relatively large amount, the items purchased are also many. Countries suddenly took a breath of cold air.
What I bought was not ordinary guns and artillery, but the most advanced things. For example, the advanced fifth-generation stealth fighter J-31.
The positioning of this fighter has been very clear since it was developed. It is a foreign trade stealth fighter. Although its performance is not as good as the F22 and J-20, compared with the American F35, its performance is even much higher.
Except that it cannot take off and land vertically, its other performances are stronger than those of the F35. The price of each fighter is as high as 350 million U.S. dollars.
Saudi Arabia ordered 24 aircraft at one time, and this order alone was worth US$8.4 billion.
This order is of great significance, and it is not just a matter of money. If the relationship was not particularly good, how could China possibly sell stealth fighters to Saudi Arabia?
Even if it is a foreign trade model, you must know that this fighter jet is currently the most advanced fighter jet. Even Pakistan Railways does not have one now, but Saudi Arabia has become the first country to own this aircraft.
In addition to stealth fighter jets, Saudi Arabia has also ordered China's J-10 fighter jet, which is the latest model. This fighter jet is China's own model, not a cheap, simplified version.
The technical level and performance have surpassed the F15, and the price is much cheaper than the F15. Each fighter only costs 80 million US dollars.
Saudi Arabia has ordered 60 such fighter jets at one time. At the same time, there are also early warning aircraft, aerial tankers, electronic jammers, drones, training aircraft, etc.
The order for aircraft alone is as high as 20 billion U.S. dollars. This is a huge success for China's arms industry.
China not only sells fighter jets, but also helps Saudi Arabia train a series of personnel, including pilots, maintenance personnel, ground support personnel, etc.
At the same time, it will also help Saudi Arabia establish two aircraft production lines, and a batch of aircraft will be assembled in Saudi Arabia. This is crucial to Saudi Arabia and can bring real benefits to Saudi Arabia.
Unlike the United States' arms business, China's arms business is full of sincerity. Not only is the price low, but it also provides a series of package services, so that the weapons you purchase can form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
Once the order for this batch of aircraft is delivered, Saudi Arabia will once again consolidate its dominance in the Middle East. By that time, even Israel, which has a relatively strong military strength, will not dare to challenge Saudi Arabia.
In addition to aircraft, Saudi Arabia also ordered a large number of missiles. Twelve sets of anti-aircraft missile systems alone were ordered, as well as road-based anti-ship missiles, long-range surface-to-surface missiles, etc.
What makes neighboring countries feel most desperate is that Saudi Arabia has ordered a large number of rocket launchers. However, the performance of this rocket launcher has made many countries scold them.
Even European and American military experts scolded me. Is this a fucking rocket launcher? Which country has a rocket launcher with a range of up to 650 kilometers?
Which country's rocket launcher shells are equipped with precision guidance chips? Which country's rocket launchers are accurate within ten meters?
Yes, an extremely shameless rocket launcher. This rocket launcher has a range of up to 650 kilometers, and a launch vehicle can fire six rocket launchers at once.
Moreover, there are many types of artillery shells, which can not only launch ordinary rocket launchers. They can also launch rocket launchers with precision guidance functions, and the accuracy is within ten meters.
At the same time, the warhead can also be equipped with cloud bombs and so on. If you have the technology, even nuclear bombs can be installed. Not only that, through the advanced control system, six rockets can also attack six targets at the same time.
The most crazy thing is that some rockets also have tracking functions. Through smart chips, they can track moving targets. In emergencies, they can be used as anti-aircraft weapons and anti-armor weapons.
What kind of rockets are there and what functions they have. They can launch anti-radiation rockets specifically to hit enemy radars.
It can be loaded with anti-tank rockets and launched to chase enemy tanks. This is not a rocket, it is more missile than a missile.
But in China's export catalog, this is a rocket. Have you ever seen that missile that can launch six missiles at a time?
As for the long range and high accuracy, that's because our technology is relatively advanced. As for why the prices of some rockets are so high, this is not a problem that other countries need to worry about.
With a range of 650 kilometers, it can easily cover the entire territory of Israel from Saudi Arabia. At the same time, equipped with anti-ship rockets, it can easily block the entire Red Sea.
As for such launch vehicles, Saudi Arabia has ordered 120 vehicles. If they are all activated, they can launch 720 rockets at a time.
As for how many rockets Saudi Arabia has ordered, each launch vehicle has a radar, and each launch vehicle can act independently.
120 launch vehicles can be separated at will and hidden in the huge desert of Saudi Arabia. The deterrence of this thing is more terrifying than those fighter jets.
In addition to these, Saudi Arabia also purchased naval weapons. The quantity was not large, there were only four orders. But these four orders made many people salivate.
China's new generation Qin-class conventionally powered submarine. It is currently China's most advanced conventionally powered submarine and one of the most advanced conventionally powered submarines in the world.
The latest generation of Qin-class conventionally powered submarines has a displacement of up to 3,500 tons, has an AIP system, and the submarine battery uses Tesla's all-solid-state battery.
Such a submarine can stay underwater for 100 days without needing to surface for recharging. At the same time, its silent performance is very good. The weapon system on it is torpedoes and anti-ship missiles.
This is the biggest killer weapon. Apart from nuclear-powered submarines, this is probably the most advanced conventionally-powered submarine. Although it is not equipped with intercontinental missiles.
But the torpedoes and anti-ship missiles above will make many ships frightened. The technical level of China's anti-ship missiles is still very powerful.
With four conventionally powered submarines here, even if the US aircraft carrier battle group is careful when approaching, they will definitely suffer heavy losses if they are attacked by these things.
The huge order was exchanged for a series of high-tech weapons. The weapons are not complicated, but each weapon has a deterrent effect.
With such weapons, even if the United States wants to take any action in Saudi Arabia, it must carefully consider it. Even if the United States now has many military bases in Saudi Arabia, it still has to consider it.
These orders have made the United States a little wary. Now the United States has to make careful decisions even if it wants to take action. In an era when oil is becoming less and less valuable, Saudi Arabia's psychological status in the United States is declining.
Now that Saudi Arabia and China are so close, this has sent a signal. Although the United States knows that Saudi Arabia has no choice but to do so, it is still psychologically uncomfortable, but it does not dare to act recklessly because it seems to them that it will use force with Saudi Arabia for this.
