The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

Marin's request seemed very normal to the Crown Prince.

After all, David's competitor is located at another helipad not far away, and confidentiality is definitely required even for business reasons.

Moreover, before this, China had asked the Crown Prince to control the scope of knowledge of the Falcon 8Z test schedule for the same reason.

That's why the David Kingdom didn't hear any related news.

Before the formal test, the UAE also arranged a week-long design information verification phase.

It sounds very high-sounding, but in fact it is just to see whether the boasts you made in the early stage can be backed up to avoid the situation where the goods are not the same as described.

The entire process is naturally handled by the UAE Air Force, and the staff at Al Batin Palace Airport cannot directly access the aircraft.

However, based on the excellent matching mechanism in the Middle East region, if intelligence agencies such as Mossad really want to corrupt a military position in a country like the GCC, it is basically just a matter of time.

This is also one of the main reasons why Chang Haonan and Liang Shaoxiu hope to complete the actual machine test as soon as possible.

If only some of the airport staff were bribed, they could still turn the situation around with their superb performance.

But if I let them operate for another half a year, then by then all the referees, referees, witnesses, organizers and co-organizers will be from David Country. How can I play against them?

So it’s better to finish the work as soon as possible…

As the person in charge of the selection, Crown Prince Mohammed needed to maintain a close but not overly intimate relationship with each bidder. Therefore, after the welcome ceremony, he only left another deputy to be in charge of the reception, and he left quickly to arrange several additional tests that were specifically requested by China and France.

Before reaching the terminal hall, Marin suddenly paused, then turned around and reminded Casore to arrange for someone to be on duty on the plane 24 hours a day in the next few days to ensure that they would not leave.

On the other side of the airport, Shaul Mavita found an angle and quietly watched the early warning aircraft in the distance that was completely beyond his expectations. He secretly decided not to return to David after the test, but to stay in the UAE to track the opponent's situation.

Elan Cops had quietly left the airport, preparing to activate some old hidden agents to deal with one of the targets that was easy to control in the shortest possible time.

Although the UAE is known as a dog-rich country, its actual per capita GDP is similar to that of normal developed countries such as Germany, France, and Canada, and is far from truly rich countries such as Liechtenstein or Monaco.

Even so, Dubai still takes advantage of its status as the financial center of the Middle East.

Under such a basic situation, the more exaggerated the luxury of the upper-class princes and nobles is, the more it shows that the living standards of the lower-class common people simply cannot reach the level corresponding to the per capita GDP.

Therefore, as long as you find a brother who is living in poverty due to bad habits or family reasons, it is not difficult to bribe him directly through a silver bullet offensive.

After all, it's just a jammer, not a bomb, and it's not a risky thing.

And those hidden agents won't even have any contact with the people who actually do the work, and there's no risk of being implicated.

Unless you are caught in the act, there will be no evidence to prove your guilt afterwards...

In short, almost all the forces related to this matter began to revolve around the Falcon 8Z early warning aircraft not far away.

Except the Swedes.

Ericsson participated in the bidding with the idea of ​​trying its best. At this time, it was completely kept in the dark, thinking that Dassault would do the same as itself and wait until early 2005 to participate in the test.

Of course, there's nothing they can do even if they know.

The Global 5000 business jet itself has not yet been put into commercial operation, and unlike Aero Engine Corporation of China, they are not deeply involved in the research and development of Falcon 8Z, so they can obtain key data during trial operation or even the prototype stage.

Bombardier cannot risk its reputation by delivering an immature flying platform to its customers.

In fact, when Dassault and IAI's bidding products appeared at the Albatin Palace Airport at the same time, the probability of GlobalEye winning the bid was infinitely close to zero...

……

The following days were full of undercurrents.

Under the urging of the two permanent members of the UN Security Council, France and China, the oilmen still showed extraordinary work efficiency.

It’s just money anyway.

flower!

So, in just seven days, except for the repeater jammer pods required for anti-interference testing, all other relevant hardware were concentrated at the Albatin Palace Airport.

The reason why the jamming pod did not appear was, firstly, because of Marin's confidentiality requirements, and secondly, because of the restrictions of the US agreement.

The UAE itself does not have the ability to develop electronic warfare systems, so it can only use F16s carrying AN/ALQ-131 and AN/ALQ-184 electronic jamming pods to carry out the operation.

This model is prohibited for third countries to have access to.

In fact, even participating in this test is considered to be skirting the law.

Fortunately, the people openly participating in the bidding were French, so there wouldn't be too many problems.

Of course, Casore and Marin did not come here to gather intelligence, so they did not care about these details.

It is only after all ground preparations are completed that flight testing is required to begin as soon as possible.

2004 6 Month 15 Day.

Sunny, light breeze 2-3.

The early warning aircraft numbered 8-001 has started its engine and is parked at the end of the runway in idle mode, waiting for the take-off order from the tower.

The aircraft during the testing phase still belongs to Party B, so the two test pilots from Dassault are still sitting in the cockpit.

But in the command module at the back were testers and technicians from France, China and the UAE.

Fortunately, the cabin cross-sectional area of ​​the Falcon 8Z is slightly larger than that of the G550, so it is not particularly crowded.

In fact, the UAE originally wanted to send a few more people on board.

But Chang Haonan learned the lesson from the plane crash in his previous life and repeatedly emphasized that overloading and no reckless behavior are allowed.

So the only Party A representatives who boarded the plane in the end were Abu Sabah and another early warning engineer from the Air Force who had been trained on Saudi Arabia's E3 early warning aircraft.

At the same time, on the apron far away from the airport, two large unmanned target aircraft were ready on the launch tower, waiting for the early warning aircraft to take off and then launch into the test airspace.

They will routinely serve as targets to test the performance of the radar in the Gao Ming system.

Everything seemed to be no different from what happened half a month ago.

however.

Just when almost everyone's attention was focused on the plane that began to slowly accelerate at the end of the runway.

An inconspicuous staff member wearing a ground crew uniform came to a blind spot that was not easily noticed, carrying a toolbox.

He pretended to check the launch system, took out a screwdriver from the toolbox, bent down and reached under one of the drone launch towers. After making sure that there was no one around, he aimed the screwdriver tip at an inconspicuous screw on the mission payload module and turned it a quarter of a turn.

Then he took out a small device from his pocket and stuck it on. After confirming that the three sets of green lights on the device were all on, he left with satisfaction.

Then he arrived at the terminal hall at the speed of light and found a pay phone.

Insert the card and dial.

After the ringback speaker rings three times, hang up the phone.

Then, as if all his strength had been drained away, he leaned against the wall dejectedly and slowly sat down on the ground...

In the VIP reception room less than 100 meters away, Mavita was holding a cell phone that rang three times and then stopped abruptly, with a relaxed expression on his face that had not been seen for many days.

As a senior representative of Party B, it is very easy for me to find a reason to stay.

Although you are prohibited from entering the inner field area, it is still okay to stand here and watch from a distance.

Mavita raised his head again and saw the Falcon Z early warning aircraft roaring across the runway in front of him.

A few seconds later, the plane lifted its nose as lightly as a swan and flew towards the test airspace.

"Just wait and see..."

He muttered to himself.
