Chapter 782 Who Can't Brag
For the Shire people who urgently need the most advanced fighter jets to form air superiority at this time, unless they intend to use F4 Phantom fighter jets, this kind of Americans had a good record during the Vietnam War, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are already weak fighter.
Otherwise, at the beginning of the research and development of the F14 and F15, they would choose between aircraft dedicated to air combat.
In fact, the people of Yiselie don't have much choice.
Compared with the F15, which is still in the testing stage, the F14 is the first choice for the fact that it can be mass-produced at any time after three years of test flight and use.
Let F14 occupy an absolute advantage.
Of course, based on the intelligence and relationship network of the Jews in the United States, it is easy to know that the F15 engine is more advanced.
This makes the take-off weight of this aircraft large, and there is a lot of room for improvement in subsequent improvements.
But no matter it is the people from McDonnell Douglas, Grumman, Boyin, and Israel, they all understand.
No matter how you brag about the F15, a very real problem is the prototype that McDonnell Douglas produced.
During the time period of October 1973, compared with the F14 in various test performances, let alone the advantages.
On the contrary, because of the F14's radar and Flamingo air-to-air missiles, the F14 occupies the world's number one position in air combat.
Because of the population, any pilot is more valuable to them than other countries.
In the 1970s, although the actual combat effect of beyond visual range combat was not good, this is the future development trend, and it is unanimously recognized by the United States and the red polar bear.
The two bosses affirmed that the whole world would basically have no opinion.
This allowed F14 to win another game.
Moreover, as soon as Boyin and Grumman cooperated, and with Li Changheng's reminder, it only took two days to show up in front of Yiselie with the improved model of Boyin's engine.
Once the take-off weight became larger, only 4 Flamingo air-to-air missiles could be mounted, but it suddenly became 8.
The weakness of the F14's lack of firepower and the fact that it has no aircraft guns in close combat has become less prominent in an instant.
As for the range of only 2560 kilometers, it may be a big problem for other users.
But for Israel, or even the aircraft carrier of the US Navy, a combat radius of 1,200 kilometers is definitely sufficient.
Even, when they were lobbying the Yiselites, Boyin and Grumman shamelessly learned about it from Li Changheng.
In the future, the functions of multi-purpose fighters like F16 and F18 that can target both air and ground will be used to fool people.
All of a sudden, the Yiseleans, who have a small country and elite fighters but a small reserve, are more interested.
As a weakened version of F15, F16 has not sold well for 7 or 8 years after GM copied McDonnell Douglas.
He was really famous because he used the F16 in Shilie to attack the desert tyrants and became famous in the first battle.
Since in another world, Yi Selie would like F16, then in this world, there is a high probability that he will also like it.
Boyin and Grumman's design that plagiarized General Dynamics and was still in the research and development stage immediately made McDonnell Douglas' improved F15 a bit tasteless.
If it weren't for the two fighter jets, one would be 10 million more expensive than the US military's purchase price, making the F15 quotation reach 55 million US dollars.
After getting the information, Li Changheng made the decision, and then only increased the price by 10 million to reach 70 million US dollars. F15 didn't even have a chance to compete.
As for the reason for such an offer, because Li Changheng knew very well that he had a hole card in his hand.
As long as the Israelis are unwilling to see the desert area, any country that has fighter jets as advanced as them will definitely win all orders for F14 in the next few years before the Iranians.
Then use the Jewish relationship and public opinion to disturb Huang Grumman's plan to sell the F14 contract to Iran.
To be honest, the F14 does have a lot of problems, but after the improvement, the function has been improved, but it is still a big reason why it has not been taken seriously.
In addition to the progress of the times and technology, there is also the advantage of the Cold War tilted towards the United States, and the F14 with a single function has no opponents.
To a large extent, it has something to do with the 80 F14s in the hands of Iran, which broke out the revolution and began to oppose the United States.
So in the long run, Li Changheng is of course unwilling to sell F14 to Yilang.
However, if the U.S. government is willing to endorse and sell the old version of the F14 without a new engine, he will not stop it.
After all, the unit price of F14 is indeed too expensive, and there are not many countries that can afford it.
The example of selling weakened versions of fighter jets to allies is not only done by Americans, but also by red polar bears.
At this time, Iran is an important ally in the desert area in the eyes of the Americans.
Moreover, Boyin does not rely on fighter jets to make a fortune, Minghang aircraft is the key project, and Grumman is not Li Changheng's company.
On the contrary, he was more interested in trying to annex McDonnell Douglas and obtain the F15 by the way.
After Grumman and Boyin cooperated, although they were unwilling to give up the order of 80 planes, they hadn't decided on any of them after almost a year of negotiation.
But one is in a hurry, and the price directly reaches 70 million U.S. dollars.
How to choose is very simple.
Moreover, if a fighter jet wants to sell well, you must first let people see the actual combat performance of the aircraft.
In the desert, even if there is no major war, small-scale aerial combat will basically occur once or twice a month.
With the urination of red polar bears, it is impossible for them to sell the most advanced fighter jets to the local tyrants like the American people treat Israel preferentially.
As long as the F14 is equipped with a string, it can easily suppress the polar bear fighters that are a generation or a half generation lower than the F14.
At that time, maybe Europe, kangaroos and Maple Leaf countries will buy the F14 with a weakened foreign trade version in small quantities.
According to the nature of capital, of course, the money that can be seen and touched is first earned.
Moreover, Boyin is the largest bomber manufacturer, and Grumman has the F14 in his hands, and is currently using a large number of F4 Phantom fighter jets.
With the cooperation of these two companies, it is easy for Yiselie to obtain bombers, which can be matched with F14 and F4 fighter jets.
Immediately, Yi Shilie could only choose Boyin and Grumman.
The final news is only uncertain because the Jews wanted to meet Li Changheng first.
Boyin only took one day and one night to obtain the production license of F14, join forces, replace the engine, and even keep half of the ownership secret.
Bo Yin and Grumman didn't want to keep it secret, but showed it off, it has long been shown that Li Changheng's gaze is farther than ordinary people.
Moreover, the dozens of congressmen who first initiated the financial aid bill were all from New York, New Jersey and Virginia, and there was also South Carolina Congressman Francis Wood, who had been rumored to be favored by Li Changheng.
Let the Jews eagerly want to meet Li Changheng and ask about the situation in the desert area face to face.
On October 19th, Li Changheng brought Annie and his guards to a banquet held by a New York Jewish rich man.
Behind the scenes are the U.S. military, Israel, and the military-industrial complex, which are used for face-to-face negotiations.
As soon as the two appeared, they immediately detonated the entire venue.
