Dominate South Asia

Spey engine!

The Atar 9K-50 engine has a thrust of only 60 kilonewtons, and even after modification, it has only been increased to 70 kilonewtons. The Spey engine has a thrust of more than 90 kilonewtons! Moreover, the Spey is a turbofan engine with a very low fuel consumption rate and has a good reputation internationally.

If such an engine is used to equip the Sculptor fighter, the performance of the fighter will be greatly improved! Suddenly, sparks of joy appeared in Lieutenant General Dennis's eyes.

If it were not for international sanctions, they would very much like to introduce this engine to equip their fighters.

By the way, how can Pakistan have such an engine? They use it on the A-7 attack aircraft at most, and it is a model without afterburner.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask, how can you have such an engine?" Lieutenant General Dennis asked.

"I can answer, but before I answer, I also hope you can answer me a question." Rick said: "What kind of fighter do you want this engine to be equipped with?"

"We have no secrets for our friends." Dennis said: "We are going to develop an advanced fighter by ourselves, code-named the Sculptor Project."

This is not a big secret. After all, it is no longer a secret that so many French and Israeli experts have been invited here.

"It is not only the UK that can produce the Spey engine. The UK has sold patents to many countries." Rick said: "No matter how many engines you need, I can get them for you."

Selling engines! This is also a task that President Muhammad gave to Rick. He came to South Africa mainly to make money.

Whether it is Pakistan or China, they all need to modify the Spey. Increase the thrust and become a high thrust, and there is nothing to keep secret about the medium thrust Spey. Simply take it out and sell it for money.

South Africa has diamonds, gold, and plenty of money. They hire employees from France and Israel. But they spent a lot of money to buy some advanced engines, and they are definitely willing to pay for it.

When Rick said this, Dennis was prepared. He immediately thought of the country in Asia that also introduced patents. This country has a strategic ally relationship with Pakistan. The two sides are also building a plateau railway recently. It is said to be called the New Silk Road.

"If you can really get it. We are willing to buy 50 units at a time." Dennis said.

Buy 50 units at a time! This is a considerable investment. In the South African Air Force's plan, it is planned to equip 30 to 40 of these self-developed Sculptor fighters. And these 50 units can just be used and provide a certain backup.

"Well, if that's the case, we can lower the price a bit." Rick said: "50 units, a total price of 500 million US dollars, what do you think?"

In terms of asking for a high price, Rick has completely learned Muhammad's tactics. Now, South Africa needs these engines very much, and they have enough funds. The price of 500 million US dollars is only 10 million US dollars per unit, which is really not high. Now Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation can completely produce this engine independently. The cost should be around three million US dollars, and it only made twice as much.

With this money, it is enough to pay for the full development cost of Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation, and it can mass-produce the modified Spey engine. Moreover, it is also a considerable financial support for Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation's new project.

After Muhammad's visit, after the approval of the Chinese top leaders, it was finally decided to abandon the West's own JH-7 project, comprehensively survey the Tomcat fighter, and work with a group of Chengfei technicians to prepare to produce a replica of the Tomcat fighter.

At the same time, Pakistan also sent a large number of technicians to work together.

Sure enough, after Rick proposed the price, Lieutenant General Dennis just frowned and said, "I hope you can provide two for us to test first. As long as we can reach the various data of Spey, we will order it in full."

Obviously, Dennis is still a little worried about the performance of these Chinese-made Speys and needs to test them first.

"Of course, no problem." Rick said, "I can guarantee that these engines are exactly the same as those produced in the UK, but you should also know that this matter must be kept confidential."

"Of course." Lieutenant General Dennis said. He had a premonition that after purchasing this batch of engines, the progress of their self-developed fighter jets would be accelerated.

"Not only provide engines, if you need technical support, we can also provide it." Rick continued.

Now, Pakistan has intervened in China's No. 10 aircraft project and jointly developed it. Although Pakistani researchers are supporting roles, they can also gain a lot of experience.

If Pakistan sends some more technicians to the South African project, it will learn more experience. Moreover, after South Africa becomes black-ruled, it will be too easy to pull these white technicians to Pakistan through relationships.

"Let's talk about this later." Dennis didn't feel much about the technical support proposed by Pakistan. Pakistan itself doesn't have a complete aviation industry. What technology can it have?

Rick also smiled. If the other party doesn't want to, then forget it. He has other ways. When those engines are shipped over, they will definitely need the cooperation of Pakistani technicians.

"On the current battlefield, your tank's combat effectiveness is quite good." Rick said: "Our president originally planned to bring the Leopard 2 tanks we had just equipped our troops to the Angolan battlefield. Now it seems that there is no need. Our Leopard 2 tanks, your Clarion tanks, have sounded the clarion call to attack.”

Leopard 2 tank? Although he is from the Air Force, Dennis also knows that this is a world-famous tank. It has always been ranked first in the rankings of many magazines. South Africa has no chance to observe the Air Force's fighter jets up close, and this kind of tank is... It would be of great help to Pakistan's own if they could come over and have a look and broaden their horizons for South Africa's military industrial personnel.

"For our ground attack, we also need advanced tanks." Dennis said: "We are willing to pay enough commission to let your tanks come to our battlefield in Angola to help us fight and win victory."

Anyway, the Leopard 2 is idle in China. It is also a good choice to transfer a company to train Pakistani tank troops on the battlefield in Angola, and someone will provide money. Moreover, exchanges with South Africa's military industry can be opened up. In South Africa's military industry, many things of the Army are relatively powerful.

"Okay, I can ask for instructions from China." Rick said.

Islamabad.

"Rick did a good job in South Africa." Mhamad said to the old Arslan on the side: "The battle over Angola brought us more than a billion dollars in commissions, and now we use our Spey The engine successfully attracted the South African military industry, and they asked us to export 50 engines to them for a price of US$500 million.”

"Rick is still a bit young and energetic. It would be better if he was more mature." Old Arslan said: "Those engines cost one billion, and South Africans have to buy them."

"Yes, but there is no need to open our mouths here. There are many things in South Africa that we are very interested in." Mhamad said.

Rick sold fifty engines. Although it was US$500 million, the harvest was already considerable. Now, Pakistan has introduced an overhaul line for TF30 engines. This overhaul line has been transformed and can also be produced based on technology from Eastern countries. The blanks for this kind of engine can also be provided by Eastern countries, and the factory can build it in a year if the horsepower is turned on.

"The Cubans will never be willing to fail after suffering a loss. The Soviet Union will definitely send new fighter planes there." Old Arslan said: "Their next battle will be even more difficult."

"Yes." Mhamad said: "We have received accurate information. The Soviets dismantled four MiG-25s, turned them into parts, loaded them into a Soviet cargo ship, and are transporting them to Angola."

The only one that can pose a threat to the Tomcat fighter is the MiG-31. The powerful phased array radar and long-range missiles can restrain the Tomcat fighter. However, the disadvantage of this fighter is that it is too expensive. According to the Soviet Union's consistent style, This kind of fighter plane will not be exported. When analyzing these two battles, they found that in order to prevent the escalation of the conflict, these Tomcat fighters were not equipped with long-range Phoenix missiles. All air battles were conducted at medium-range and short-range. Completed in the process. Therefore, they secretly transported four MiG-25s to Angola.

In addition to the MiG-25, there are also a group of MiG-23 fighters. These fighters flew directly over. This is a confusing method.

"Mig-25?" Old Arslan frowned when he heard Mhammad's words. When the Tomcats did not have the Phoenix, the MiG-25 could still pose a threat to them.

Hammad also knew that in the later Gulf War, the Iraqi MiG-25 successfully entered the F-15's visual range by relying on four snake-like maneuvers. Unfortunately, their missiles were too backward and none of them could hit.

"So, we must get rid of these four MiG-25 fighters." Mhammad said: "The best way is to eliminate them at sea before they reach Angola!"

"Well, and it has to be on the high seas." Old Arslan said: "We can't let the Soviets know that we did it."

After all, the MiG-25s transported are civilian ships, and attacking civilian ships is a very bad behavior.

"Yeah, leave it to Rick, Rick knows what to do." (To be continued ~^~)
