Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qi Yiming has always thought that doing business with the Saudis is very pleasant. The saying "if people are stupid, money will come quickly" basically refers to this kind of thing.  Qi Yiming originally sent a large number of military instructors to Saudi Arabia to guide them in their flight, and then became familiar with the Leopard B and Xiaolong fighter jets. Who knew that not long after, many Saudi nobles came to Saudi Arabia?  Go to flight school and find Chinese instructors to take them to fly fighter jets.

    It took a year to deliver 100 Leopard Bs. They have been training for some time now, but it may take some time to form combat effectiveness.  As for the 20 Xiaolongs that Prince Bandar took away from China, they are basically in a state of storage. The Saudi Air Force has no plans to form a flying force of Xiaolongs, but parts, engines, etc. will continue to be purchased according to demand.

    This puzzled Qi Yiming, but the Saudis took it for granted. Their King Fatah has always been the vanguard of the struggle in the Arab world, and he would provide assistance at every turn. In the past, he only provided assistance with light weapons, mostly tanks and armored vehicles.  , Later, King Fatah found that the Chinese Xiaolong fighter jets were cheap enough, and determined to provide other people's aircraft when needed in the future to show his righteousness and wealth.

    The Xiaolong is cheap, low in flight costs, easy to train, and has multiple capabilities. In fact, those who are really knowledgeable in the Saudi military believe that Saudi Arabia does not need to pursue an aircraft that is too heavy. The Xiaolong is a very good aircraft.  A small amount of the budget was used to allow Xiaolong to undertake the airspace patrol mission of the Saudi Air Force, and also carried anti-ship missiles for anti-ship training.

    There are fighter mafia and heavy-duty factions in the U.S. Air Force, while the Saudi Air Force has gradually formed an American-made faction and a Chinese-made faction. When Saudi Arabia decided to purchase a new batch of fighter jets, two voices emerged in the Saudi Air Force. One requested the purchase of B15  , one requirement is that the prices for purchasing the two Leopard B fighters are actually about the same. The Saudis have also tried to compete in the air. Without using the pL-2, the exchange ratio of the two fighters is almost the same.  When it comes to ground attack capabilities, the B15 cannot keep up with the Leopard B, a heavy fighter based on veteran bombers.

    In fact, considering the subsequent maintenance and repair costs, the hidden costs of US-made fighters are higher, and the after-sales service is not as good as that of Chinese fighters. Therefore, those who are not financially knowledgeable about military affairs think that it is better to buy Chinese fighters.

    Of course, if you consider it politically, buying American fighter jets is also a good political investment.  In the same way, those who want to refute can point out that China is also a major country with significant influence, and it thinks more highly of Saudi Arabia.

    China and Saudi Arabia have already established diplomatic relations. After the base was upgraded, Qi Yiming also stationed red alert spies here specifically for arms purchases, oil and other matters. Although Qi Yiming could not understand for a while that the Saudis had just purchased from him three years ago.  30 fighter planes, why do you want to buy them again at this time? In short, you would be a fool not to make money if you have money.

    The design and test flight of F9 Shadow Leopard have been mostly completed, and it will not take long to obtain domestic certification, so Qi Yiming immediately passed the news of "China's Leopard B follow-up model specially designed to serve Saudi Arabia" to the previous  partners, Prince Sultan and his son.  The last time the Sultans took away nearly 1 billion US dollars in commission from Qi Yiming, this time they heard that there was another business, and they quickly began to win allies in the DPRK, and suggested to King Fatah not to buy B15  Buy F

    "My brother, my king, I understand that the original intention of purchasing the B15 this time is to strengthen relations with the United States, but our military purchases from the United States are already very large. In recent years, we have purchased helicopters, anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft missiles from them.  We have spent more than billions on various weapons such as tanks, missiles, and early warning aircraft. Moreover, there is more than just arms purchase to enhance relations. If we habitually give money to the Americans, it will make them see us clearly.  "Prince Sultan is sincere.

    King Fatah couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°What do you think?¡±

    "As the Minister of Defense and Aviation and the Director-General of the Army, I have the obligation to reflect the voice within the army to you. The warriors are all wise to your previous decision to purchase Chinese fighter jets, because they have thus obtained a decisive weapon that can encircle the Holy Land and defeat the enemy.  The performance of Chinese fighter jets is obvious to all. Chinese fighter jets have fought in many battlefields over the years, and their performance is absolutely amazing. Not only that, China's service is more considerate and the price is more reasonable. China is also an influential country.  A big country worthy of our win." Sultan opened his mouth and did not mention that there are people in the military who like the B15. Instead, he said it like the Saudi soldiers calling in unison, eager to fly Chinese fighter jets.

    "Well, is that so?"

    "Of course, Your Majesty the King, you may have heard that the United States is interested in a Chinese fighter jet and is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. The final purchase volume may be thousands. This shows that American man-made aircraft are actually not as good as Chinese ones.  "

    King Fatah asked hesitantly: "But China has also bought American aircraft before."

    Sultan continued to talk nonsense: "That is China's practice of willing to pay to form an alliance with the United States. Well, maybe China is not as good as the United States in carrier-based aircraft, but in terms of conventional fighter jets, the United States is not as good as China, that's for sure.  "

    Sultan continued his bewitchmentSaid: "Your Majesty the King, the Chinese respect us and are willing to serve us. The F9 they developed this time is a product specifically designed to meet our needs, which is evident from this. And their quotation is also lower than that of the Americans, with a unit price of only  260,000 US dollars, the same as last time, buys aircraft and provides missiles and other weapons, and there are a large number of military instructors who can teach us tactics and even fight for us."

    Fatah nodded and said: "Indeed, the Chinese are very conscientious in doing things. The people they sent to build our missile bases were able to work in the desert for more than ten hours without any entertainment and kept asking questions.  Are we satisfied? We are much cuter than Americans with their nostrils turned upward.¡±

    Sultan persuaded the king at the first sight and encouraged him again: "Your Majesty the King, the sources of procurement of our national defense weapons need to be slowly balanced. Europe, the United States and China should be roughly equal. Our fighter jets use Chinese sources.  , the helicopters are European, and the early warning aircraft, transport aircraft, etc. are American. This benefits everyone, and there is nothing to say.

    From a practical point of view, fighter jets are the most urgent weapon, and their quality is directly related to national defense security, so we must try our best to choose higher quality weapons.  There are more than a hundred old aircraft like BU in service in our army, but only dozens of advanced Fl are in use, and many more are idle. This is an unreasonable allocation of resources.  The Leopard B can fight in the air and bomb enemy lines, but the B150B can only fight in the air, and it is not better than the Leopard B, let alone China's improved and upgraded F9. This is also an unreasonable allocation of resources.

    Therefore, Your Majesty, I boldly suggest that those B6B15 and other fighters in our military that are not in use and cannot be used should be resold to other countries. Even before selling the US-made military aircraft, we can go back to buy Chinese military aircraft. We can still buy a lot, and  The combat effectiveness is increased several times.  Although we in Saudi Arabia are a rich country, we cannot spend money indiscriminately, don¡¯t you think?  "

    What the prince said was reasonable and well-founded, and the king agreed with it, but no one knew that he secretly wanted to make gray income through the Chinese trading zone. If he did it with the Americans, the United States would keep a close eye on it.  Definitely limited.  But China is very proud and willing to pay more to buy him off.  What's more, Sultan felt that what he said was true. If Chinese weapons were not powerful, how could they have won so many battles?

    King Fatah nodded and said: "What you said is very good. It shows that you are very considerate of the country. I am proud to have such a loyal and capable minister and brother as you."

    Prince Sultan had an expression on his face as if he had seen the death of his confidant, and he seemed very moved.

    King Fatah also held his hand with kindness and said: "I leave this matter to you, I trust you. Since the American fighter planes are not good, then we don't want them. We use B15s."  It has only been around for a few years. Since it is not useful, I will sell it and I guess I can make some money. The B6 is relatively old, so whoever wants it can take it. The Air Force has 20 Fl Xiaolong, which is more than enough to replace the B6.  , and it must be stronger, so that¡¯s it. I¡¯m afraid the money you get from selling these aircraft will not be enough to meet our needs. I will give you another 4 billion US dollars, which must be used properly so that our Saudi Air Force can operate in the Middle East.  rule the roost"

    Sultan was overjoyed, but King Fatah thought for a while and said: "We originally planned to sign a contract with Brazil to purchase their multiple rocket launcher systems last year, but the Army believed that the systems of the United States and China were more powerful, so the plan was canceled  It¡¯s been delayed. You can go to China this time and take a look. If it¡¯s suitable, buy it back. The budget is 600 million US dollars.¡±

    Sultan was even more surprised. He quickly said: "The last transaction with China included some self-propelled rocket launchers. The army used them relatively well and the price was not expensive. We will definitely be able to buy better ones this time."  "Bazooka."

    In terms of rocket launcher systems, China has a relatively large advantage, not to mention the abnormal-level Guardian series of this era, -0-20A100AR- and E-, which have become popular due to the improvement of the base, because the models are too complex.  , Qi Yiming unified the foreign trade rocket launchers except the Guardian series as the E (1aec) series. The more popular crawler chassis self-propelled 2mR Spoon-0 is now the E-I with an extended range of 20 kilometers as the SP2, and the 2m Longya rocket launcher Type 8  The export models are E-4, 3Umm self-propelled multiple rocket launcher A100, and 6mm rocket launchers of different calibers that can be loaded with 2E port.

    Currently, the main users of China¡¯s export rocket launchers are the Nanyang National Defense Forces, mainly E-port B2 Qi Yiming, and Qi Yiming also plans to equip them with certain E-uses.  It is also reported that South Korea is more interested in Chinese rocket launchers, but Qi Yiming does not plan to sell South Korea's advanced army equipment for the time being because of North Korea's considerations.

    By the way, Saudi Arabia won 10RlØ­-0 last time and felt the power of the rocket launcher firsthand, so I wanted to buy a better one.  Brazil's T61 is a relatively well-designed model. One launch unit can fire rockets of different calibers. Saudi Arabia is very interested, but because the price has not been negotiated, it has been postponed until today, and China is once again trying to make it cheaper.
