Chapter 1135 Tit for Tat
Although Mavita had just said the same thing just a minute ago.
But the meanings of these two "how is it possible" are completely opposite.
The former is the confidence that everything is under control.
The latter is the disbelief caused by the shock in the heart...
All the layouts previously formulated by IAI, from gathering intelligence, to buying people, to interfering with testing... were all based on the prediction that the two competitors would "not progress quickly".
Therefore, the main target is a few months later.
According to the plan, the performance really begins after the test of the G550 "Sea Eagle" is over.
But now, the sudden appearance of the early warning aircraft in front of them disrupted all their arrangements...
For a moment, Mavita's mind was like a mess, and he couldn't figure it out. clue.
Until Elan Copus's voice woke him up from his daze:
"So...what is the situation now?"
In fact, the former was also in a complete daze at the moment. status.
But in the final analysis, the bidding for early warning aircraft is not Mossad's own business. It is just wiping the IAI's butt at the request of the leader.
So it’s hard to say that I don’t have the mentality to see jokes.
Sure enough, after hearing Copus's sinister question, Mavita's expression suddenly changed.
However, the latter also knows that now is not the time to vent his anger on his own people.
He just replied with a gun and a stick:
“The basis of all our speculations is that in December last year, Dassault delivered the first aircraft to China for commercial trial operation. Falcon 8Z, but this aircraft did not appear in several major airports in China..."
Hearing this, the expression on Copus's face changed slightly, and his whole attitude was also obvious. Soften down.
Because the above information was provided by Mossad to IAI.
But now it seems that there is obviously a problem with accuracy.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and then chose to look away almost at the same time.
Internal conflicts can be discussed later.
Now they are still grasshoppers on a rope.
"So...Dassault should have delivered a flying platform for modification to China in advance during the test flight phase..."
Mavita spoke first and took the initiative to hand it over to the other party.
The latter also followed suit:
"Yes...it's impossible for them to modify an early warning aircraft in six months. They must have used something to avoid it. Our reconnaissance method..."
Actually, if we dig into this matter, there are still many problems.
For example, early warning aircraft always undergo test flights after they are produced, but there are no eyewitness reports, and no satellites have photographed the aircraft parked on the apron.
Even the UAE did not disclose any relevant information in advance.
That’s not to say that a short test flight cannot be kept secret.
But as a model jointly developed by two countries and oriented to foreign trade, normal operation should be to publicize every major time node to ensure the confidence of users.
Anyway, after you sell it, others will know the information that needs to be known.
There is no reason to go to such great lengths to hide it.
Unless...
Calm down, Mavita suddenly thought of a possibility——
Unless the other party predicts in advance that someone wants to cheat during the test , just carried out a surprise attack.
"Elan, what do you think..."
He originally wanted to discuss this possibility with the other party, but gave up when the words came to his lips.
On the one hand, only a very few people, including myself, were involved in this matter, so it was impossible to leak it, and there was absolutely no way the other party knew about it in advance.
On the other hand, now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.
Thinking too much can lead to bad things.
"Uh...what did you say?"
Copus thought he didn't hear clearly.
“I mean, the situation may turn around.”
Mavita replied:
“According to our process during this period, the plane is arriving After the United Arab Emirates, it will take 7-10 days to verify the design information before entering the test process. "
"Didn't you just say that the personnel at Al Batin Palace Airport are easy to deal with... Then take advantage of this. We should start as soon as possible, preferably by recruiting secondary personnel in core positions such as ground crews or drone operators..." Copus frowned slightly:
"There is no problem with this. In fact, I have selected several targets in recent days...but what about after the bribery?"
"I mean...you weren't just Said, the jamming equipment still needs some modifications?"
Mavita sighed and replied:
"It is definitely too late to modify according to the original plan, now we can only make simple and crude changes. Reduced power operation... Fortunately, the power required for forwarding coherent interference is not large in the first place, and we do not need to completely disable the opponent's radar. That would appear too false. We only need to make their reaction speed to detect the target significantly slower... …”
"Even if the UAE Air Force intends to continue the tradition of using French equipment, it will not be able to accept a product with obvious technical flaws."
"..."
After the deployment of the mission , in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Mavita returned to the celebrating crowd.
But my mind has already flown thousands of miles away.
He reorganized the schedule of the Falcon 8Z business jet project in his mind.
But no matter what, he couldn't face the situation in front of him...
"Why did it happen so fast?"
He said to himself helplessly.
……
“We have improved the original aircraft production process and more than doubled the efficiency.”
On another tarmac at the Al-Batin Palace Airport, Kasore and Marin were communicating with Crown Prince Mohammed who came to greet him about the situation of the early warning aircraft not far behind him:
“So, If your country can choose our model, then we can guarantee that we will deliver the first aircraft within six months after receiving the deposit, and send a group of technical personnel to provide on-site guidance!”
When Kasore was in mid-air just now, he had already seen the G550 early warning aircraft parked on the ground.
He knows very well that the biggest advantage of the David Kingdom is that the delivery cycle is short and combat effectiveness can be quickly formed.
So the issue of delivery cycle was directly emphasized from the beginning.
Sure enough, after the Crown Prince heard "six months", although the expression on his face did not change much, the frequency of his steps slowed down slightly.
Although David Guo said before that spot goods can be delivered, the premise is that a decision will be made at the end of this year or early next year.
It’s not much different from the time promised by the Frenchman in front of me.
Furthermore, if the delivery cycle of all four aircraft is considered, the Falcon Z will be faster.
Although the UAE is not in a hurry to fight anyone, it is eager to use new equipment to increase its voice in the GCC and bridge the relationship between the Abu Dhabi faction and the Dubai faction.
Seeing that the previously agreed words were working, Marin also took advantage of the situation and struck while the iron was hot:
"In addition, Your Excellency, the Crown Prince, in addition to the basic early warning command function, the 'Gaoming' early warning system has also specially enhanced wide-bandwidth angle detection. And the ability to resist electromagnetic interference... The former allows the early warning aircraft to fly on a freer route. As for the latter... I believe that as a fighter pilot, you should have an intuitive understanding of the power of electronic warfare..."
“So, we hope to add relevant items to this actual machine test to more intuitively demonstrate product performance...”
This trick is called taking advantage of the situation.
Based on the trends in the Kingdom of Wei, Liang Shaoxiu and Chang Haonan have basically determined that the other party will cause some obstacles for them during the test.
Rather than reacting completely passively, it is better to take the initiative.
Don’t you want to interfere?
Then I will directly ask Party A to add an anti-interference ability test.
Not only can you promote product performance.
If done well, it is possible for the UAE to "accidentally" discover David's small moves, thereby creating some rifts between the two sides.
Faced with this request, even Crown Prince Mohammed would inevitably show some surprise -
As a big business owner in the Middle East, he has dealt with buying equipment too many times.
From tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, to fighter jets and helicopters, to patrol boats and frigates...
That is to say, it is really impossible to buy medium-range ballistic missiles these days, otherwise they have to compete with Saudi Arabia. Dozens of pieces are not enough.
But even though he is experienced in many battles, this is the first time he has seen Party B take the initiative to put more burdens on him during the test.
"If you add subjects temporarily, it may take a little extra time to arrange."
The crown prince replied with interest.
"Of course there is no problem..."
Marin has been prepared for this:
"It's just that we have a small request."
"Please speak."
"Before the test is officially launched, do not disclose the specific subjects to the outside world, including airport staff, prematurely..."
