Chapter 972 Abu's Gift Eleven
Remove the avionics equipment of the Tu-160 strategic bomber used for combat, leave the space for the bomb bay to be converted into a passenger cabin, and set up an openable entry and exit hatch under the belly of the aircraft, at least to the minimum extent, it can satisfy ten people Within business class flight needs. It is just that a supersonic strategic bomber like the Tu-160 is converted into a supersonic business jet. There is indeed no precedent in the world before.
Abu's words are not perfunctory, but very serious truth. Russia will never sell the Tu-160 strategic bomber, at least not for now. This is a strategic weapon, and Russia will never allow any neighboring country to own it.
Huaxia once tried to buy several Tu-160s from Ukraine, but in order to please the United States, Ukraine began to destroy these world's largest and most capable aircraft in 1998, leaving only a few and selling them back to Russia. Those scenes of operation made people feel heartbroken, the typical cub sells Ye Tian's heart doesn't hurt!
Even the state is not allowed to buy, so Guo Tailai can buy it privately, is it possible?
Uh! If Guo Tailai does not plan to come to Russia again in the future, nor does he plan to go abroad, but just stay in the country and relax, it may cost a very high price, and he may be able to get a Tu 160 privately, but the price is to become the mortal enemy of Emperor Pu, the Russian people. enemy, and may have to face death threats from the Russian side for the rest of his life.
"If it wasn't what the president meant, as a friend, to be honest, I would never suggest that you buy our country's products for your private jet." Abu suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Guo Tailai: "Just look at it and feel it." All right, don't worry about it."
Russian aircraft, under pressure from the United States and Europe, almost all civilian models cannot obtain the US FAA airworthiness certificate and the European EASA airworthiness certificate, which has caused a large part of the loss of customers. Another important feature of Russian aircraft is that the fuel economy of the engine is not good, and the flight cost is high. In addition, the scale effect brought about by the small number of orders cannot be increased, the price is high, and the maintenance cost is high, which is also a big problem.
Abramovich's proposal was actually considered on Guo Tailai's side, and to be honest, there is absolutely no need for such a large aircraft as the Il-96, 300 million US dollars is enough to buy a Yankee Air Force One, and it is more comfortable. isn't it?
Based on Abu's understanding of some of Guo Tailai's habits, would Guo Tailai be so high-profile?
That is obviously impossible. Everyone just took the opportunity to take the presidential plane. When they leave Russia, they can go to other places and buy a suitable small plane, such as a luxury business jet like Gulfstream. It is enough. , also cheap.
"I know it! Thank you!" Guo Tailai also appreciated Abu's reminder. It's not bad that I didn't use favors from the perspective of a friend to let myself buy a Russian plane.
However, Guo Tailai still underestimated Abu's gratitude to him. The next morning, Abu took Guo Tailai again to the military airport yesterday.
"Do you still want to take the presidential plane?" Guo Tailai asked puzzled, "Where are you going?"
"Haven't you ever flown in a supersonic plane?" Abu asked with a smile, "Today I'll take you to try the feeling of supersonic speed."
"Ugh!" Guo Tailai didn't expect Abu to be so caring. He was unexpected, and there were some surprises.
At the military airport, the bodyguards of the two stayed in the car, while Guo Tailai and Abu each boarded the back seat of a Su-30, and a pilot in front took them into the air to experience the extreme speed of the fighter jet.
"Hold these two small handles firmly, and don't touch anything!" The ground attendant who was in charge of fastening the seat belts on the two told Guo Tailai in Russian-style English: "If you want to come back alive, don't move around. anything!"
Guo Tailai, wearing a flying helmet, nodded frequently to the ground crew. He didn't come to die, he was just a passenger, and he would never do anything stupid.
The cockpit cover was closed, the ground crew was evacuated, and the plane began to slowly slide towards the runway, accelerate, and take off.
This is a completely different feeling. Guo Tailai of Civil Aviation has sat in it, but he has never seen the scenery from the perspective of the cockpit. Now it's a fighter jet, and it's another feeling.
"Woohoo!" After taking off, Guo Tailai cheered happily and laughed from time to time.
"G, let you feel the supersonic speed!" Abu's voice came from the earphone of the helmet, and then he heard the voice of Abu talking to the driver in Russian.
"Get ready!" The pilot in front of Guo Tailai reminded Guo Tailai in English, and then the plane suddenly started to accelerate.
A strong force pushed Guo Tailai on the backrest, Guo Tailai did not resist, feeling the huge acceleration, and then at a certain moment, the noisy noise was suddenly reduced by half, leaving only the roar of the engine, something very disturbing to the hearing The rustling sound seemed to disappear for the most part suddenly.
"It feels so wonderful!" Guo Tailai said loudly. There was a period of time when there was no way to communicate without the microphone of the helmet, but during this period, it seemed that the person in front of me could hear the speech without headphones.
"Indeed!" Abu's voice came over. He was on another plane and entered the supersonic state with afterburner: "This is more exciting than any supercar speed. I want to have something more Exciting?"
"Let the horse come here!" Guo Tailai agreed with a yell.
After the supersonic state lasted for a while, the speed slowly dropped again. Then, the pilot in front reminded: "Stop immediately if you can't hold it! Don't touch anything!"
Guo Tailai agreed, and the plane immediately began to maneuver more flexibly.
The pilot's driving skills are very skilled, and the skilled man is bold, diving and pulling up, circling sharply, barrel rolling, high-speed roundabout, immelman somersault, a series of maneuvers, done in a smooth manner.
"Yo Hoo!" Guo Tailai was also very enjoyable while sitting, every maneuver, Guo Tailai would shout excitedly, as if he was not enjoying the maneuvering of a fighter jet, but enjoying the thrilling roller coaster.
Guo Tailai's yelling made Abu very speechless. He couldn't bear so many high-gauge maneuvers, so he just let the pilot follow slowly.
"Try this!" The pilot was also stimulated. A big fat man didn't feel uncomfortable during this series of maneuvers, and he yelled happily all the way. Fortunately, both Abu and the tower commander had issued strict orders not to do dangerous maneuvers, so he didn't take Guo Tai to do more dangerous high-gauge maneuvers, but some maneuvers must be done.
"Pugachev Cobra Maneuver?" Guo Tailai exclaimed in great surprise as the body decelerated towards the sky.
