However, then the British imposed sanctions on Iraq in accordance with the requirements of the United States. At this time, Iraq had already invested 500 million US dollars, and it was in vain. Even Saudi Arabia suffered a loss. Sarah's relationship, but when it is a national policy, no matter how big a company is, it can't do anything about it.

Therefore, this time, we must slap the British guys and let them vomit blood by themselves!

Chapter 695 Selling What You Need

"This project is a joint project between us and British Aerospace Corporation. If you want to participate, then you need to negotiate with British Aerospace Corporation." Scheler said.

Nonsense, of course I know that it is a joint project between you, Hikmat said: "We have investigated, British Aerospace Corporation, has been at a loss now, and there is no way to spend enough funds to develop this missile project , British Aerospace Corporation's funds have been broken, and it is simply impossible for you to wait for British Aerospace Corporation to continue investing in accordance with the original contract."

British Aerospace Corporation's funds are already on the verge of being very dangerous. At this time, the British government cannot provide enough funds to maintain it. Otherwise, it would not be eager to sell the company's shares and turn the company into a private company. .

If you want to rely on British investment, don’t dream, we in Iraq have enough funds, especially, behind us, there is a very wealthy Saudi Arabia to help pay for it!

After saying this, Tobias felt a little uneasy on his face. It was as if he was sarcasm at them. Why did you go wrong when you chose a partner, and found someone who didn't have the strength at all?

"However, in this way, it is equivalent to violating our contract with British Aerospace Corporation. Our doing so is not conducive to maintaining the reputation of our company, and will have a certain impact on our future international cooperation projects." Scheler Said.

"Doing this will have no reputational impact on your company at all." Hikmat said: "Because the reason why your company did this is that British Aerospace Corporation violated the terms of the contract first, and they did not follow the terms of the contract. According to the stipulated terms, provide financial support to your company on time, according to your contract, since British Aerospace Corporation is no longer able to provide financial support, then you have sufficient reasons to choose a new partner."

Hikmat made it very clear, because this contract has been studied by him, Sarah is one of the important shareholders of British Aerospace Corporation, and, on this project, Sarah helped the company do a lot of work, For example, two sponsors from Saudi Arabia and Iraq were brought in, so Sarah also came into contact with many documents of this project, such as the cooperation documents with Saab.

Saab has been looking for reasons to excuse it. This is because British Aerospace Corporation is a partner of Saab in many aspects. They just don't want to offend British Aerospace Corporation. Therefore, it depends on whether Saab can make up its mind How high are the conditions offered by the Iraqi side?

"Our Iraqi side will invest [-] million U.S. dollars in R&D expenses on the active sky flash." Hikmat said, after saying this, the effect was obvious, and the other party was shocked.

Originally, Iraq and Saudi Arabia each invested 5000 million US dollars in this project in British Aerospace, but after they each paid 500 million US dollars, there was nothing to do.Now, Hikmat said that the Iraqi side will pay [-] million US dollars, which is enough for Saab to carry out the missile development project smoothly until it is finally put into production.

20 million U.S. dollars, of course the other party will be shocked. Now Sweden’s annual defense expenditure is less than [-] billion U.S. dollars. Iraq is willing to spend [-] million U.S. dollars. It is an absolute must for this missile project that has no air force equipped at all. Big deal.

Coming from a country where black gold is buried underground, one must be rich!Scheler and Tobias exchanged a look.

[-] million US dollars is definitely not a small amount for Iraq, but Iraq and Saudi Arabia have reached an agreement, and each side will pay half of it, and Saudi Arabia has already helped Iraq share half of the investment.

Moreover, Qusay must get the active sky flash missile, because this is related to the main equipment of the Iraqi Air Force within ten years!

Looking at the other party's expression, Hikmat knew that he had already impressed the other party, and then it was time to raise his own conditions: "For this kind of missiles, we will order [-] missiles in advance, and at the same time, there will be Saudi Arabia We also ordered [-] pieces in the same batch. After that, we still need [-] pieces each. However, this requires the establishment of a production line for this kind of missile in Iraq for local production. We do not rule out that other countries in the Middle East will continue to order in the future. This missile."

Iraq spent so much money, of course, because it wanted to fully obtain the technology of this missile. In addition to helping Saab develop missiles, the other aspect of the money is naturally equivalent to investing in shares.

The British paid for it at the time, so that after Saab successfully developed the active seeker, both parties would benefit together. Now that the partner has been replaced by Iraq, it is naturally the same reason.

After this kind of missile is developed, it will definitely occupy a large part of the world's air-to-air missile market. The investment of Iraqi funds is simply a timely help.Although the Middle East has only ordered a hundred pieces in total, the rest will be self-produced, which is definitely a good deal.Export production lines can also make a fortune again.

"We will hold a company meeting to discuss, and will report to the Defense Materials Administration, so as to facilitate the conclusion of this agreement as soon as possible." Tobias said.

Hikmat knew that Sweden, which maintains national defense neutrality, will definitely agree to these demands made by Iraq, because this is definitely of great benefit to Sweden and to Saab.

"We hope that this missile will be able to enter service next year." Hikmat continued.

next year?Do you think this is a model?This kind of active medium-range bomb, so far, even the Americans have not mastered the technology!There are still many technical problems that need to be overcome.

However, Tobias can say that their technology research and development capabilities are not enough. Is it possible that this kind of missile will not be available until a few years later?

Absolutely can't say that, but, what reason is it good to shirk?

"In the process of missile development, we in Iraq will have a lot of experience to learn from. Moreover, in order to match our fighter planes, we need to learn and master this missile in advance. Therefore, if an agreement is reached, I hope you can accommodate me. Some of the technical experts in our technical team have worked in famous foreign companies, such as the French aerospace company, hoping to speed up the development of this missile." Hikmat said very euphemistically.

Iraq has invested so much money, of course it has to acquire the technology of this missile, invest its own personnel, and intervene in the development work in advance. In the name of learning, Hikmat put forward his own conditions, hoping that the other party can agree.Free labor, do you want it?Do you want the same experienced developers?Among them, there are even people poached from British Aerospace Corporation, who can develop it as soon as possible and occupy the international market as soon as possible. Isn't this condition very attractive?

"These will be finalized at the company meeting. Thank you for your support." This time, Tobias is not completely sure. Although Saab will jointly develop with foreign companies, they are all developed countries in the West. A developing country, for a country that does not have a complete industry, wants to jointly develop, they need to carefully consider.

We have almost finished talking about this issue, but the cooperation on other projects in Sweden has just begun!

"Mr. Hikmat, we understand that you are introducing the red-star missile boat made by Dongfangda. This is a very correct choice for your use in the Persian Gulf. Moreover, it can compete with your self-made Ship missiles." Tobias said: "However, I wonder if you are satisfied with the electronic equipment on the missile boats of the eastern powers? If not, our company has an advanced sea and air defense system. Search radar, just right for a missile boat."

Saab can be said to be able to develop all kinds of weapons, from the sky, to the land, and then to the sea.They have already studied that the new president of Iraq is very eager for new technologies. The radar produced by Saab can just be installed on this missile boat. Each radar system costs 80 US dollars, ten sets That's $800 million.

Your own missile boat?It seems that the other party is really thinking about his own property. Hikmat remembered that when he accompanied the president to inspect the shipyard, the president once said that he had introduced a shipyard and could manufacture this kind of missile boat, and will continue to manufacture it in the future For other ships, at the same time, the supporting subsystems, such as marine engines, such as marine electronic equipment, also need to start, especially the electronic equipment for military ships, which will be a very large supporting project. The electronic equipment of the eastern power, Still very behind.

Saab keenly discovered this business opportunity?However, this will benefit both sides, and it can be introduced. Iraq needs advanced air/sea search radars, which are installed on ten red-star missile boats.

"We can consider introducing it, if the xìng performance can meet our needs." Hikmat said.

"When you produced the T-72 main battle tank, you replaced the Soviet fire control equipment with German fire control equipment. However, Germany did not agree to export the production line of these equipment, such as your most urgently needed infrared tank. Night vision equipment, if you need it, we can export our equipment together with the production line to your country, so that your tank production can be completely localized." Tobias said.

A thought came to Hikmat's mind: this time, the funds allocated by His Excellency Qusay may not be enough.

"We also have advanced portable anti-aircraft missiles, RBS-70, and dual 35mm anti-aircraft guns..." Seizing this opportunity, Tobias began to sell.

Chapter 696 The next target, Israel's air defense

McFarlane came to Israel and just told the top Israeli leaders the first two conditions proposed by Iraq. They have already stated that they are determined not to agree.

Because it took decades for Israel to finally make progress in nuclear technology and possess its own deterrent force. Now, asking Israel to give up nuclear weapons is like breaking the wings of an eagle. Absolutely will not agree.Sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, allowing UN nuclear experts to enter at any time. If the Israeli bases are not destroyed, they can transfer their locations at any time. A lot.

And when McFarlane finally threw out the third clause, the top Israeli leaders, including Defense Minister Rabin, were almost out of anger. What does the Iraqi side mean?Israel is not yet a defeated country!Just one or two air raids!The Israeli army still has ground troops that have not been dispatched, how could the Israeli army admit defeat like this!

McFarlane knew that there would be such a result. The differences between the two sides were too great. He had to persuade both sides to make concessions before they could reach an agreement.

After Perez heard these conditions proposed by Iraq, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Could it be that a ground war is really going to start?Once the ground war starts, the two sides will be the result of endless death. With Israel having lost its air force, can the ground war be won?

Even if they win the battle, how many casualties would the Israeli army have to pay!

Amman.

Qusay is discussing the next move with several deputy commanders and senior officers of the exercise force in the newly formed command structure of the United Arab Army.

"We have almost reached the goal of the first stage. We have destroyed the Israeli air force base and almost killed all the Israeli fighter planes. However, until now, there is still no sign of Israeli surrender. Therefore, we still need to give Yi Selie some new blows!"

"Is it launching a ground war? We should break into Israel's mainland." Abdullah II said.

Qusay shook his head and said: "All our goals now are to exert maximum pressure and force the Israelis to make concessions. We cannot easily launch a ground attack."

"Commander, the establishment of a no-fly zone over Israel that you proposed earlier is very representative, but even though we have defeated the Israeli air force, the Israeli air defense force still exists, so , when our fighter planes fly over Israel, they will still face threats," said Prince Sultan.

Prince Sultan is the Minister of Defense and Minister of Air Defense, so he raised the issue that he is most concerned about. So far, only three Saudi fighter planes have been lost, including mechanical failures. He can still accept that if they fly over Israel , then, it will face a great threat from the ground.

"Prince, what you said is very correct, so our next goal is to destroy the Israeli anti-aircraft missiles, and let them know that their sky is ours!" Qu Sai's eyes flashed an unbelievable look. Thinking eyes.

To force the Israelis to make greater concessions in the peace talks is to let the Israelis know that they cannot gain any advantage at all!

Occupying the airspace of Israel and declaring it a no-fly zone can even stop the United States' attempt to transport new fighter planes to Israel. The Israeli Air Force has no way to recover its vitality!

The sky listed above is ours!These words made everyone's faces full of joy, they knew what it meant.

"How do we attack Israel's anti-aircraft missiles?" Prince Sultan said: "Anti-aircraft missiles are also a great threat to our fighter planes."

Anti-aircraft missiles and fighter planes have always been enemies. The Sam-6 missile once defeated the Israeli fighter planes, and later, the Israeli Air Force flattened the Sam-6 missile position.
