Take Off My Aviation Era - Chapter 1701
Fortunately, this group of princes and nobles collapsed quickly, and they were reshaping quickly.
The things in Europe can’t work, isn’t there something that China can take off to fill, anyway, none of these things can be done here in the Gulf. Since there are better options, then what else to say, just use money.
“Mr. Zhuang, I think we can have a good talk…” Prince Atez reacted the fastest. Almost when Zhuang Jianye’s voice faded, he asked for a detailed discussion: “The price of the’loyal wingman’ is 35 million US dollars. Kuwait is completely acceptable. We will not be less than 60 in the specific quantity. As for the specific payment method, Mr. Zhuang can choose by himself, physical exchange, international transfer, and even cash transactions are all possible…”
“Wait… Your Royal Highness Prince Atez…”
Before Prince Atez finished speaking, Zhuang Jianye interrupted the other party. Prince Atez thought that the price he had quoted was lower, so he waved his hand nonchalantly: “The price is the issue. Kuwait is still very flexible, so let me tell you Mr. Zhuang, as long as the product is good enough, the price has never been something we consider in Kuwait!”
Look how hard it is to say, the price is never something you consider!
In other words, Prince Artez only needs to look at the products that are right, and just take the money and it’s done.
It’s because Zhuang Jianye is now in the position. If it was placed a few years ago, he might be able to hold Prince Atez’s thigh and shouted: “Big brother, brother doesn’t want to fight~~~~”
Even now, Zhuang Jianye almost couldn’t hold back, pulling Prince Atez’s arm, and said: “Brother, let’s make friends!”
Fortunately, Zhuang Jianye has seen a lot of strong winds and waves over the years, and he is still living in Hold, so he explained with a smile: “It is not a problem of price, Prince Atez, it is mainly a problem of the control system.
At present, there are two types of TNB-31 “loyal wingman” control platforms developed by Ascendas China. One is the JNB-17C advanced trainer aircraft just shown to you, which can control up to 3 aircraft at the same time in a single flight; the other is It is the ZNB-12F helicopter that China took off. It can control 5 TNB-31’loyal wingmen’ at one time.
Of course, due to the different models of the two platforms, the combat methods are also slightly different. When the JNB-17C advanced trainer is used as the control platform, the TNB-31 can have all the elements of a ‘loyal wingman’.
When the ZNB-12F helicopter is used as the main control platform, the TNB-31 only has some of the functions of a “loyal wingman”, the most prominent of which are remote reconnaissance, fire damage assessment, out-of-zone warning, electronic interference, and some ground attacks. , In general, it is an enhanced version of the inspection and shooting integrated UAV.
Therefore, the prices of the two platforms are not the same. Because the JNB-17C advanced trainer has the attributes of an advanced trainer and a TNB-31 “loyal wingman” control platform, the unit price is 55 million US dollars; as for the ZNB-12F helicopter Because of the single function, it’s a little cheaper, only 42 million US dollars. Because of this, Prince Artez…”
“Ha ha…”
Before Zhuang Jianye finished speaking, Prince Atez interrupted him with a hearty laugh: “I thought it was a big deal. It turned out to be a problem with the control platform. Mr. Zhuang wouldn’t think I Art I’m always confused, don’t even know a little bit of common sense, right?
Since we are going to purchase TNB-31 ‘loyal wingman’, naturally there will be no less control platform. Otherwise, why should we buy it back? Keep it as a toy?
Besides, is the unit price of the JNB-17C advanced trainer at USD 55 million expensive? Ah~~ The big guys are talking about it, is it expensive? ”
Prince Atez said that he looked at the other princes and nobles around him. Those kingdoms and nobles in traditional Arabic robes all showed a rather indifferent smile. Obviously, he didn’t feel the need for the JNB-17C advanced trainer. What’s the big deal at a unit price of $55 million.
When Prince Atez saw this, he spread his hands: “Just say yes. Through two actual combat exercises, we have seen the future development direction of air combat, and also seen the amazing value of the JNB-17C advanced trainer. As a result, Such an excellent advanced trainer only sells for 55 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the unit price of over 100 million U.S. dollars for the defeated opponent, the Typhoon fighter jet, this price is so low that it is distressing. Mr. Zhuang, thank you for your generosity. A conscientious defense supplier is our true friend in the Gulf!”
After hearing this, Zhuang Jianye almost hummed comfortably. It’s too late now, otherwise Zhuang Jianye will definitely find a way to transport the leaders of the domestic air force by chartered flights, and let this group of leaders see what it means to be generous!
55 million US dollars is called cheap by Prince Atez.
But in China, the same JNB-17C advanced trainer, Zhuang Jianye reported 55 million yuan, the air force is too expensive!
It should be known that the domestic JNB-17C advanced trainer can control 5 TNB-31 “loyal wingmen” at the same time, and each “loyal wingman” has very powerful functions. It can not only assist the JNB-17C advanced trainer in remote reconnaissance, Electronic jamming, back-to-back guns, and more importantly, two medium-range air-to-air missiles and two short-range combat missiles are also equipped in the belly bomb bay set inside.
Therefore, when necessary, the TNB-31 “loyal wingman” can completely replace the JNB-17C advanced trainer to attack suspicious aerial targets.
That’s not to mention, the domestic JNB-17B-31 “loyal wingman” is also equipped with a complete ground attack system, especially the TNB-31 “loyal wingman”, which can be hung in the belly bomb bay with two 250 kg precision Guided bomb, or a DZB-150C air-to-surface missile with a range of 150 kilometers.
More importantly, the TNB-31 “loyal wingman” has also been handled by China Ascendas for the convenience of radar stealth. UU reading www.uukanshu.com makes the TNB-31 “loyal wingman” have excellent low detectability, and cooperate with it. With its own electronic interference capability, it can completely touch the opponent’s nest without knowing it, and launch a fatal blow.
Such a combination, one is 55 million yuan, and one is 35 million yuan. Is it expensive?
It’s cheap to go to grandma’s house, okay!
But the Air Force not only thinks it is expensive, but more importantly, it believes that this model is not in line with the future development direction of air combat. Based on this judgment, the Air Force has never bought this product.
If it was expensive, Zhuang Jianye would be fine, but the Air Force actually said that this combination was not what they wanted and criticized China’s take-off for not grasping the main points of future air combat, which made Zhuang Jianye intolerable.
We must know that China has taken so many years to concentrate on studying the future of air combat. It is not a year or two. Otherwise, how could it come up with such a combination of drones and manned aircraft?
So the unconvinced Zhuang Jianye directly approached the chief of the Air Force, but not long after he broke into the office, he was pushed back by the chief of the Air Force with a sentence: “In the future, what I want is unmanned, completely unmanned, you know. ?”
