As soon as these words came out, many people around looked at the helicopter that was about to be moved out of the Qiongzhou Airlines cargo plane in a different way.
Some are relieved, some are relaxed, some are as expected, and some are gloating
In short, the fear I felt just now when I saw the helicopter carrying the cargo plane was gone, and there was only relief and happiness like relief.
It turns out that a large country in the East uses a helicopter called the Z-12. It turns out that this helicopter is very unreliable. It turns out that the biggest feature of the Z-12 is that it can lie down
¡°I thought that a big country in the East would attract a tiger no matter what this time, and even if it didn¡¯t work, it would be okay to get a dog to scare people, but in the end, it got a sick cat. Is this to intimidate or conspicuous?
Chen Fang is such a sensitive person. He has always noticed the attitudes of the people around him. He was originally in awe but now he doesn't care, just because of the words of the United Nations official from New Zealand.
Now that he knows the root cause, his rebuttal can naturally be well-targeted. However, what makes Chen Fang helpless is that he doesn't know how to rebut at all, because the New Zealand-born United Nations official named Andrews was an internationally renowned helicopter before joining the United Nations. A technical expert who has worked for many internationally renowned helicopter giants.
After leaving the workplace, he entered the university to engage in helicopter research and teaching. Later, he was employed by the New Zealand diplomatic system. As a technical expert in the helicopter field, he was engaged in New Zealand's foreign technical assistance work. Because of his outstanding work, he was favored by the United Nations and accepted. Invitation to join the United Nations.
This UN peacekeeping operation in East Timor is the first time that Andrews has coordinated such a major operation since he became a senior UN official, so he is quite diligent in his usual work.
But sometimes we are inevitably subject to external interference of one kind or another.
¡°For example, his prejudice against New Delhi people caused him to turn a blind eye when Australia expelled refugees from New Delhi.
For another example, Australia used a comparison with a large country in East Asia on the issue of refugee rescue to improve its international status, and made all kinds of nonsense about it. Andrews not only pretended not to see it, but even said it when facing the media. The reason for all kinds of bias towards Australia is not that the people of New Zealand want Australia to rescue them, so they are telling lies with their eyes wide open.
Because of this, Andrews¡¯ reputation in the small system of the United Nations in East Timor can only be said to be average, and no one takes his words seriously.
However, in the real professional field, no one ignores it. After all, Andrews was a senior expert in the field of helicopters before joining the United Nations. Not to mention that the evaluation of a certain helicopter can make the difference between life and death, but at least it is good or bad. Can tell the difference.
At least Andrews was telling the truth when it came to the Z-12, because as soon as Andrews said these words, the Pakistani peacekeeping force officer who had previously praised the Qiongzhou Airlines cargo plane nodded pertinently: "Mr. Andrews is right. , Zhi-12 does have many problems.¡±
If Andrews¡¯s pointed words are definitive, then the Pakistani peacekeeping officer¡¯s pertinent words without any fancy words are the final word.
The reason is very simple. A few years ago, Pakistan introduced two Z-12 naval carrier-based helicopters from Ascendas Group and prepared to jointly produce civilian models of this type with the United Arab Emirates, which caused quite a stir in the international aviation market.
So much so that at that time, many aviation giants regarded this matter as the focus of their attention and continued to track it for a long time. There was nothing they could do about it. These two incidents were like dropping a bombshell on the lifeless international helicopter market, because it showed that it was not big in the first place. There is another disruptor in the helicopter market.
Not only do you want to steal the business of various giants, but you also want to directly overturn the table. Even if you sell Pakistani helicopters, why do you engage in joint production with the United Arab Emirates? Do you think the international helicopter market is not chaotic enough?
So Sikorsky and Bell from the United States; Airbus and AgustaWestland from Europe; Kamov and Mili from Russia joined together to form a so-called International Helicopter Technical Committee and re-formulated a so-called "21st Century Helicopter" The technical guidance document "New Technical Standards" has raised the technical threshold of helicopters by a large margin.
Immediately, the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Council and the Russian Federal Aviation Administration cited this technical guidance document and re-formulated aviation approval standards in the helicopter field.
Under this standard, Ascendas Group¡¯s Z-12 failed in almost all indicators, almost like a living coffin with a propeller installed. It was criticized by the authorities in the three helicopter fields of the United States, Europe and Russia.Put on the unqualified hat.
This is tantamount to a global ban on the Z-12.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even if the UAE produces its own Z-12, it cannot sell it without obtaining an airworthiness certificate. If it cannot sell it, it cannot make money, then what is the point of talking about industrial transformation?
Coupled with the fact that major helicopter giants used various means to put pressure on the UAE, the UAE was forced to abandon Ascendas Group¡¯s joint production plan.
For this reason, the UAE paid a huge liquidated damages of US$1.8 billion to Ascendas Group, and the two Z-12 assembly lines purchased for US$2.2 billion were completely scrapped.
Total losses reached $4 billion.
So many people say that the United Arab Emirates has been cheated by Ascendas Group. Since production cooperation has been stopped, the final assembly line should be returned to recover losses.
For this reason, many European and American lawyers and legal professionals came forward to help the UAE seek justice from Ascendas Group, but the UAE spared no effort to suppress them one by one.
Suffering a loss?
What¡¯s wrong with it? Some people want to suffer a loss, but they can't. So what about US$4 billion? If we can get the next generation combat aircraft, let alone 4 billion US dollars, it will be worth another 4 billion US dollars!
What? Can Ascendas Group develop the next generation of combat aircraft? Couldn't he be a liar?
His Highness Abdullah, who is in charge of this work in the United Arab Emirates, smiled mysteriously. Anyway, he has seen everything. In short, it is worth it!
The United Arab Emirates is willing to be taken advantage of, and the international helicopter giants are too lazy to sympathize with it. Anyway, they are accustomed to being rich. They spend all their money and just dig for oil. Anyway, there is plenty of that stuff.
The key is to prevent Ascendas Group from disrupting the helicopter field. This is enough. After all, the six major international helicopter giants are already in chaos. It would be so sad to create a seventh largest helicopter company that cannot even achieve symmetry. thing.
And Andrews was one of the participants in this sad incident. In other words, Andrews did his best to kill the Z-12 back then.
Now that he has seen the model that he has banned come out to show off, not to mention that he actually rejected the request of the Australian peacekeeping force, which he has always liked ?
Seeing the change in the attitude of the people around him, Andrews stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose and prepared to continue to make some professional remarks to completely kill and discredit the Z-12. But at this moment, the helicopter completely disappeared from the cabin. Andrews came out and was about to speak. When he saw the complete rescue helicopter, he was immediately stunned when he saw the complete rescue helicopter. Then he opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Thisthisthis is not a straight-12!"
"Yes!" The Pakistani peacekeeping force officer on the side crossed his hands on his chest and slowly said with appreciation: "His name is Z-13!"
