Chapter 1136 Just wait and see!
Marin's request seemed very normal to the crown prince.
After all, David's competitors are staying on another tarmac not far away, and they definitely need to be kept secret even for business reasons.
And before that, China used the same reason to ask the crown prince to control the scope of the Falcon 8Z test schedule.
That’s why the Kingdom of David didn’t hear any relevant news.
Before the official test, the UAE also arranged a week-long verification of design information.
It sounds very lofty, but in fact it is to see if the bullshit you boasted in the early stage can be contained to avoid the situation of incorrect goods.
The entire process is naturally the responsibility of the UAE Air Force, and the staff at Al Batin Palace Airport cannot have direct contact with the aircraft.
But judging from the excellent matching mechanism in the Middle East, if intelligence agencies such as Mossad really want to corrupt a certain military position in a country like the GCC, it is basically 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 airport staff are bribed, they can still make a comeback with superb performance.
But if the other party is allowed to operate for the first half of the year, then all the referees, referees, witnesses, organizers, and co-organizers will be from the Kingdom of David. How can I play with him?
So it is better to get things done early and quickly...
As the general person in charge of selection, Crown Prince Mohammed needs to maintain a close but not too close relationship with each bidder, so he welcomes After the ceremony, only one other deputy was left to handle the reception, while he left quickly to prepare for several new tests specially requested by China and France.
Before arriving at the departure hall, Marin suddenly paused, then turned around and told Casore that manpower must be on duty 24 hours a day in the past few days to ensure that he never leaves.
On the other side of the airport, Shaul Mavita found an angle and quietly stared at the early warning aircraft in the distance that was completely beyond his expectation. He secretly decided not to return to the Kingdom of David for the time being after the test, but instead Stay in the UAE to keep track of your opponents.
Elan Copus has quietly left the airport, preparing to use some old hidden stakes to take down one of the easily controlled targets in the shortest possible time——
Although the United Arab Emirates is known as a big country, its per capita GDP is actually about the same as that of normal developed countries such as Germany, France, and Canada, and a far cry from truly rich countries such as Liechtenstein or Monaco.
This is how it takes advantage of Dubai as the financial center of the Middle East.
Under such a basic situation, the more the upper class princes and nobles show exaggerated luxury, it shows that the life of the lower class civilians cannot reach the level corresponding to the per capita GDP.
Therefore, as long as you find an old man who is living in hardship due to bad habits or family reasons, it is not difficult to bribe him directly through a silver bullet offensive.
After all, it is just a jammer, not a bomb, nor is it anything risky.
And those hidden stakes will not even interact with the people who actually do it, and there is no risk of being involved by following the clues.
Unless you are caught, there will be no evidence afterwards...
In short, almost all the forces related to this are surrounding the Falcon 8Z early warning aircraft not far away. stand up.
Except the Swedes.
Ericsson participated in the bidding this time with the idea of hitting the three poles with a date but not a date. It was completely kept in the dark, thinking that Dassault would be like itself and wait until early 2005. Take part in testing.
Of course, even if they knew it, there was nothing they could do.
The Global 5000 business jet itself has not yet been put into commercial operation, and unlike Aerospace Power Group, they are deeply involved in the research and development of the Falcon 8Z. They can obtain key data during the trial operation and even the prototype stage. .
Bombardier cannot take a huge reputational risk and deliver an immature flight platform to customers.
In fact, when the bidding products of Dassault and IAI appeared at the Albatin Palace Airport at the same time, the probability of the Global Eye program winning the bid was infinitely close to 0...
...
The following days were full of undercurrents.
Under the urging of France and China, the two five permanent bosses, the oil guys still showed extraordinary work efficiency.
It’s just money anyway.
flower!
So, in just seven days, except for the forwarding jamming pod required for the anti-jamming test, all other related hardware was concentrated at Albatin Palace Airport.
The jamming pod did not appear, firstly because of Marin’s confidentiality requirements, and secondly because of restrictions imposed by the US agreement——
The UAE itself does not have an electronic warfare system Research and development capabilities, so it can only be performed by the F16 carrying the AN/ALQ-131 and AN/ALQ-184 electronic jamming pods. This model is prohibited from contact with third countries.
In fact, even participating in this test is considered a side ball.
Fortunately, the people participating in the bidding are French, so there won’t be too much of a problem.
Of course, Kasore and Marin's trip was not originally to investigate intelligence, so they did not care about these details.
Just after all ground preparations are completed, the flight test is required to start as soon as possible.
June 15, 2004.
Sunny, breeze level 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, just waiting for the takeoff command from the tower.
The aircraft in the test 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, there were test and technical personnel from France, China and the United Arab Emirates.
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, originally, the UAE wanted to send a few more people to board the plane.
But Chang Haonan learned the lesson from the air crash in his previous life and repeatedly emphasized that he should not overload or act recklessly.
So the last representatives of Party A to board the plane were Abu Sabah and another early warning engineer from the Air Force who had received training on Saudi E3 early warning aircraft.
At the same time, on the tarmac far away from the airport, two large unmanned target drones were also prepared on the launch tower, just waiting for the early warning aircraft to take off before launching into the test airspace.
They will, as usual, be used as targets for testing the performance of radars in "gaoming" systems.
Everything seems to be no different from the time half a month ago.
However.
Just when almost everyone's attention was focused on the plane at the end of the runway that began to accelerate slowly.
An inconspicuous-looking staff member wearing a ground service uniform carried a tool box and came to a visual blind spot that was not easily noticed.
He pretended to check the launch system, took out a screwdriver from the tool box, bent down and got under the launch tower of one of the drones. After confirming again that no one was around, he took out the screwdriver. He aimed his head at an inconspicuous screw somewhere on the mission payload module and turned it 1/4 turn.
Then he took out a small device from his pocket and put it on it. After confirming that all three sets of green lights on the device were on, he left with satisfaction.
Then the speed of light came to the waiting hall and found a public phone.
Insert card and dial.
Wait until the ringback speaker rings three times, then hang up.
Then, as if all his strength had been drained away, he leaned slumped against the wall and slowly sat on the ground...
In the VIP reception room less than 100 meters away, Mavita was holding a mobile phone in his hand that stopped ringing three times, with a relaxed expression on his face that he had not seen for many days.
As a senior representative of Party B, it is really easy to find a reason to stay.
Although it is forbidden to enter the infield area, it is still okay to stand here and watch from a distance.
Mavita raised his head again, just in time to see the Falcon Z early warning aircraft roaring across the runway in front of him.
A few seconds later, the aircraft raised its nose as lightly as a swan and flew towards the test airspace.
"We'll see..."
He muttered to himself.
