Chapter 1210 The Cruelty of Industry
After the South Asian War, Pakistan also seized the time to restore its military strength.
The air force is naturally a key recovery aspect for Pakistan.
After all, when a war breaks out between the two sides, the air force is often the first to engage in combat to seize air supremacy.
In modern warfare, whoever controls the air has the advantage!
The most advanced fighter jets currently equipped by Pakistan are the J-11E and J-11F. Both models are export models of the J-11. The J-11E is a single-seat twin-engine export model, and the J-11F is a two-seat twin-engine export model. , this model can not only carry out long-distance flight missions, but also function as a training aircraft.
Secondly, there are the J-10E and J-10F. These two models are the export models of the J-10 fighter. The former is a single-engine, single-seat model, and the latter is a single-engine, two-seat model.
These two fighter jets are the only third-generation fighter jets equipped by Pakistan and are among the top combat capabilities.
But whether it is a J-11 fighter or a J-10 fighter, they are not cheap, and they are cheaper than similar types of fighters in Europe and the United States.
Pakistan is not a rich country, but just a developing country. After all, Pakistan is not rich in oil and natural gas, so it cannot easily make money. Pakistan’s economy is mainly based on agriculture, with agricultural output accounting for 22% of GDP. Its industrial base is It is relatively weak, with some industries, but not many and not strong.
Today's Pakistan can only be regarded as a primary industrial country.
If Pakistan could not obtain some funds from the Islamic world, as well as tolls paid by the Americans, military base rents, dividends from cooperation with China in developing ports, and road and railway tolls, Pakistan would not even be able to maintain its current huge army.
Therefore, the cost-effective FC-1 ‘Fierce Dragon’ fighter jet is perfect for Pakistan!
Although Pakistan wants to purchase 50 FC-1 'Fierce Dragon' fighter jets, and the cost of this part is higher, the price of FC-1 'Fierce Dragon' is still a bit lower than that of the J-10 fighter jets.
The leaders of Pakistan have bright smiles on their faces. At present, Pakistan is still a developing country, but since the issue of Kashmir was solved, Pakistan has developed much faster. Its GDP is still not as good as that of India, but its per capita GDP is higher than that of India. much higher.
Moreover, relying on the relationship with China, China-Pakistan Railway and China-Pakistan Expressway were built, and the cotton textile industry, wool textile, sugar refining, paper making, tobacco, tanning, machine manufacturing, fertilizer, cement, electricity, natural gas, etc. Oil, etc.
Among them, the cotton textile industry is Pakistan's largest industrial sector. Last year, Pakistan's cotton yarn output reached 2.578 million tons and cotton cloth output was 786 million square meters.
Pakistan's current GDP is US$356.1 billion, with per capita GDP of US$2,100, an increase of nearly 9 times compared with US$40 billion in 1990, and per capita GDP increased by nearly 7 times.
Now as long as India is defeated again, Pakistan will inevitably usher in a long period of peaceful development again.
Pakistan's biggest rival is India, whether in terms of religion or hatred accumulated over a long period of time. As for Afghanistan, it is far inferior to India.
Although the FC-1 "Fierce Dragon" fighter jet will not start building a production line in Pakistan until 2010, and the engine and other core parts cannot be manufactured in Pakistan and have to be imported from China, Pakistan is already very satisfied.
The more advanced a fighter jet is, the higher its industrial level will be.
Aviation engines are known as the "Flower of Industry" and cannot be manufactured by all countries. Even if Chengfei gives Pakistan the aero-engine design drawings of the FC-1 ‘Fierce Dragon’ fighter jet, Pakistan will not be able to build it.
The world is so cruel!
The more advanced weapons are, the fewer countries can produce them.
This is especially true for fighter jets!
So far, there are only a few countries that can develop third-generation fighter jets. They can be counted on one hand. Currently, the only countries that can develop fourth-generation fighter jets are the United States and China. Even Russia has not reported any news in this regard.
Pakistan is struggling to even manufacture second-generation fighter jets, let alone third-generation fighter jets.
Chengdu Aircraft is even more happy. With the FC-1 ‘Fierce Dragon’ fighter jet, Chengdu Aircraft has a main export force. It would be an absolute lie to say that Chengdu Aircraft is not eyeing the international arms market.
But because many J-10 fighter jets were helped by Panshan Group to overcome technical difficulties, according to the agreement that year, the export rights of J-10 fighter jets belonged to Guifei Group. Chengdu Aircraft could only watch the money earned from the export of J-10 fighter jets. , jealous and helpless.
The current FC-1 'Fierce Dragon' fighter jet is Chengdu Aircraft's model targeting the international market. According to Chengdu Aircraft, this aircraft has reached the level of third-generation fighter jets, which is unmatched by the J-7 and J-8 modifications. . Among the third-generation fighter jets, the FC-1 ‘Fierce Dragon’ fighter jet is the cheapest!
The delta-wing layout, single engine, top speed of Mach 1.6 and low price are all the advantages of FC-1. The FC-1 ‘Fierce Dragon’ fighter will be very attractive to developing countries.
Even at next year's Zhuhai Air Show, Chengdu Aircraft will launch the FC-1 'Fierce Dragon' fighter jet, allowing the FC-1 'Fierce Dragon' fighter jet to join the international fighter aircraft market.
The President of Pakistan visited Chengfei. Looking at Chengfei, the President of Pakistan was full of envy, because Chengfei can produce J-7 series fighters and J-10 series fighters, which Pakistan does not have.
Think about the city of Chengdu. It is not even in the top five in China, but it is far beyond the largest city in Pakistan.
The GDP of Chengdu is almost catching up with Pakistan's GDP. As for the industrial output value of Chengdu, it is far higher than Pakistan's industrial output value. Moreover, Pakistan has no mid-end manufacturing and high-end manufacturing, but Chengdu has a large number of mid-end manufacturing and high-end manufacturing.
The more you come to China, the more you understand the development of China, and the more you can feel awe for this behemoth.
In recent years, the pro-European and American faction has been declining and has lost its market in Pakistan because Pakistan has seen the development of China with its own eyes and can feel it the most.
After Pakistan sends students to China, they often become elites in Pakistan. They have a clear judgment on the international community. They know better than anyone where to lean towards and who to lean towards.
The President of Pakistan did not leave Sichuan directly, but visited Sichuan University and University of Electronic Science and Technology, where he was warmly welcomed by students, especially Pakistani students.
Sichuan University and University of Electronic Science and Technology are the two best universities in Sichuan, with very strong comprehensive strength.
Pakistani students are studying in Sichuan University and University of Electronic Science and Technology.
China has given great support to Pakistan in this regard. If the students are particularly outstanding, Chinese universities will give full scholarships, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees of other students are often just a little higher than those of Chinese students. (End of this chapter)
