Dragoon fighter

Chapter 490 - Super Toucan

He personally controlled a company and developed it into a small consortium with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets. Although it is inconspicuous among many powerful consortiums in the world, it is like a behemoth in northern Afghanistan.

Sally was also full of confidence, and was even sure of unifying Afghanistan and bringing happiness and stable life to all Afghan civilians.

In order to find a paradise for survival in troubled times, and for the dragoon consortium to protect itself, Sally can be said to have taken great pains and spared no effort to enhance the strength of Gem Valley.

Although the Dragoon military base stationed in the valley bears the same sign as the Dragoon Consortium, as allies, their authority is only responsible for providing some weapons and military training, and even security and defense work is limited to the Gem Valley area. Even if Sally pays more It is difficult to persuade the Chinese to send troops even if the price is high.

Once the Chinese garrison at the military base is launched, it will obviously break the military and political balance in Afghanistan and surrounding countries. Even now, almost no force in the outside world knows that the Chinese have successfully garrisoned troops in Afghanistan. This is consistent with the Gemstone Valley. It has nothing to do with the unreserved trust and support of the local people. In addition, the dragoon consortium's signboard also serves as a good cover.

Once the outside world knows that the Chinese have sent troops to Afghanistan, it is definitely not a small matter.

Therefore, premature exposure will trigger a series of serious consequences, which China is not willing to see.

China's principle is to enter the village quietly and not to shoot.

Only at a critical moment, when enough benefits can be obtained to outweigh the adverse effects, will China fully highlight the role of this military base.

The Chinese only provide limited help. In fact, since the white-eyed wolf incidents in North Korea, Albania, and Vietnam, China's assistance and support to foreign countries have been quite limited, and it is not as sparing no effort as before.

Towering trees cannot be raised in a greenhouse. Most of the time, you can only rely on yourself. Sally also knows this very well. Therefore, the development of the dragoon consortium relies largely on her own solid steps one step at a time. Everyone has contributed to this. It cost a lot of sweat, blood, and even lives, but a powerful consortium is a reliable home for everyone, and they have no regrets about this.

Due to the rise of the dragoon consortium in the mountains of northern Afghanistan, it has attracted the attention and actions of many greedy guys. These people and organizations are not good at management and development. They only plunder and destroy, causing long-term poverty and chaos in Afghanistan. This time, they Set your sights on the Gem Valley located in the Hindu Kush Mountains.

According to the latest intelligence obtained by the Dragoon Consortium, agents of international forces will not allow the emergence of powerful progressive organizations in Afghanistan that can reunify the country, and will soon launch a new round of armed attacks against the Dragoon Consortium. The scale is likely to be Reaching nearly 10,000 people.

For these agents and the organizations behind them, a chaotic and divided Afghanistan can extract as much illegal benefits as possible according to their chaotic order.

In order to protect herself and have enough armed force, Sally can obtain a large number of advanced weapons from China, but she cannot obtain fighter jets.

As an open power organization, the consortium's fighter jets of unknown origin are too eye-catching and can easily expose the existence of the Chinese side.

Therefore, the dragoon consortium can only raise a large amount of funds and build its own aerial weapons through public purchases.

Sally personally led the team to Paris, France, hoping to use this aerospace exhibition to purchase a batch of fighter jets for Gem Valley, protect and maintain the interests of the dragoon consortium, and make up for the current lack of military strength.

Afghanistan has been a land of hundreds of battles since ancient times. The Soviets, the Germans, and the Americans have been here. Although they are backward and poor, it does not affect the vision of the Afghans at all. They know what kind of weapons are the best and the best. Suitable for them.

Before coming to France, Sally and her men did their homework, researched the prices and performance of fighter jets from various countries, and made a list of fighter jet models suitable for Gem Valley.

With an armed air force, the dragoon consortium can effectively deter those young people who sneak into northern Afghanistan. Relatively speaking, it can also reduce some unnecessary disturbances and use its strength to warn those who are ready to make trouble that they are not so easy to mess with.

Sally and others stayed outside the defense star exhibition area for a while, but she didn't realize that her figure fell into the eyes of the man she cared about in just a short moment.

Sally and Lin Mo passed each other again.

Destiny is like a wavy line. No one knows whether it will cross with another wavy line or never touch it.

Sometimes, fate is so wonderful.

"Aibike, we don't need to look at the jet fighter anymore. Its maintenance cost is too high. If the seller restricts the sale of parts to us, it will most likely affect our combat capabilities."

As long as she has a little free time, Sally will spend a lot of time studying. Business is essential, and she will not let go of knowledge in politics, law, history and international situations.

She knew very well that although those countries in the world that purchased other countries' fighter jets had a temporary advantage in weapons, this would not last long. There was really no friendship between countries, only interests, and they were blocked at critical moments. Therefore, A significant loss of combat effectiveness occurred.

Just like Iran, although it purchased the F-14 "Tomcat", a quite classic fighter jet, it once had the upper hand in the Iran-Iraq war. If there was a lack of spare parts supply, many "Tomcats" would become "sick cats" and " "Disabled Cat", the advantages of advanced weapons were not brought into full play, and they were often beaten to a pulp by Iraq. In the end, this war that lasted 7 years and 11 months was turned into a "low-level war with advanced weapons." A classic example, second only to the Vietnam War and the Korean War, it is one of the most casualty wars since World War II.

"Do you have the model you saw?"

Although he supplemented his knowledge of fighter jets for a while, Aibike mostly stayed at civilian-modified armed helicopters and the P-51 "Mustang" that was once discovered in Gem Valley.

"I am very optimistic about the A-29 Super Tucano. We can customize a modified version."

Sally reported a model name that was beyond Aibik's expectation, and she walked towards a certain direction of the exhibition area, where there was what she wanted.

They did not miss Embraer Security's booth at the Aerospace Exhibition.

"A-29? What model is that? Why haven't I heard of it? How can I choose this one? Even if it is a J-7, it will do." Aibike touched his head. He only knew about F-15 and J-7. 10 or so well-known fighter jets, but they know nothing about non-mainstream models.

"'Super Tucano' is a light propeller fighter. Although it is only a primary trainer aircraft, in the mountains of Afghanistan, we do not need too high speed, and we do not have pilots who can control jet fighters. 'Super Tucano' It has low requirements for pilots, a wide combat radius, and great flexibility in the use of weapons. It can be loaded with rocket nests, ordinary bombs, cluster bombs, laser-guided bombs, anti-tank missiles, and even infrared combat missiles. Many countries have purchased it as an air force. Supplement, for us, is enough.”

Perhaps because of her love for the house and the bird, Sally had done enough homework, but her next words made everyone's faces uncontrollably moved.

"Next, I plan to invest in the aviation industry and have fighter jets designed and produced by ourselves. We cannot always rely on others and purchase them."

In addition, Aibik does not know another hidden reason. The production partner of Embraer Security, the manufacturer of Super Tucano, Sierra Nevada Corporation (ion-SNC) is also the leading female-controlled federal contractor in the United States. .

With the Dragoon Consortium, which is also controlled by women, they seem to have more in common in the business war between men.

After visiting several fighter jet exhibitors, she and Aibik collected promotional catalogs and quotations after careful consultation and quotation, and put the final schedule on the production of the A-29 "Super Tucano" business, the exhibition area of ​​Embraer Security Company.

Although China's defense star stole the main limelight at the exhibition, many customers, like the dragoon consortium, are not in demand for jet fighters worth about US$30 to 40 million. Many of them come to buy business jets and space launch vehicles. Tools and light aircraft customers, and civilian customers accounted for almost half of the exhibition.

There are also many customers in the exhibition area of ​​Embraer Security Company. As Sally said, the A-29 "Super Tucano" is indeed a low-end and cost-effective aircraft, although it is only a junior trainer aircraft. , but its performance is comparable to the pinnacle P-51 "Mustang" during World War II. It was once exported to countries such as Colombia, Venezuela, and Indonesia.

Under the same weight, the Pratt \u0026 Whitney PT6A-68C turboprop engine used by the "Super Tucano" is more powerful than the piston propeller engine, and the bomb load is 72% higher than that of the "Mustang". It can strike with modern precision. In terms of attack mode, its 1550 kilogram bomb load is more than enough.

Not only does the "Super Tucano" cost less than $500 per hour to fly, but it can also be adapted to operate in extremely complex terrain and extremely harsh conditions. This is why Sally did not choose other brands of fighter jets, but chose to " Super Toucan" comes.

The arrival of the consortium was immediately warmly received by Embraer Security Company.
