Can the Tomcat fighter be exported to Iraq? Not to mention that Pakistan’s current production is insufficient, even if the production is sufficient, this fighter will definitely not be exported to Iraq!

Because Mhamad knew that it would not take long for Iraq to fight against Kuwait for its own interests, and Kuwait supported Iraq during the entire Iran-Iraq War.

Iraq's counter-intentional actions will offend the entire Arab world and provide an excuse for the United States to interfere in the Gulf affairs. If Pakistan sells Tomcat fighter jets to the other party now, it may have to face new threats on the battlefield. You must know that Tomcat fighter jets are the best fighter jets of this era! The results of shooting down rank first among the third-generation aircraft!

"Mr. President Saddam," said Mhamad. "We are very honored that this fighter can satisfy you, but I personally think that this fighter is not the most suitable choice for you."

Not the most suitable choice? Saddam was stunned: "Why? On the battlefield between Iran and Iran, this fighter jet poses the greatest threat to us."

"Yes, it's because of this." Mhamad said: "Think about it, even if you are equipped with this fighter, you will definitely not be as skilled as the Iranian Air Force that has been operating for more than ten years. The most taboo thing about air combat is that the performance of your fighter is well known to the other side."

When Mhamad said this, Saddam agreed that the Tomcat is very powerful and exerted its power in the hands of the Iranians. Iraq is also equipped with such fighter jets, so it is probably impossible for the Iranians to compete on the battlefield.

"And, the strength of the Tomcat fighter is reflected in its long-range interception capability." Mhamad said: "The combination of Tomcat fighter and Immortal Missile is the multiplier of air combat power. Now, we can only produce Tomcat fighter, and Immortal Missile can only be ordered from the United States. The United States will not allow us to transfer it by third parties."

Immortal Missile! Rather than saying that Iraqi pilots are afraid of Tomcat fighter jets on the battlefield between Iraq and Iraq, it is better to say that they are afraid of Immortal Missile! This missile with a range of more than 100 kilometers puts too much psychological pressure on Iraqi pilots. Their farthest missiles are less than 40 kilometers away, and it feels very uncomfortable to only be beaten and not fight back.

"Yes," Saddam said: "It seems that we are going to be in vain this time."

Saddam's face was disappointed, and he originally planned to sign a huge order. Now that Mhamad said this, he came too hastily this time.

"We can buy a few as imaginary enemy squadrons to fight against our other fighter jets." At this moment, Air Force Commander-in-Chief Hamid said.

This guy really has an idea! Mhamad had a smile on his face: "Of course this is possible. We can export a few aircraft to you in small quantities. In this way, 50 million US dollars per aircraft, export one squadron and four fighter jets to you, paying all the training costs. What do you think?"

A Tomcat worth 50 million US dollars per aircraft is definitely not cheap, but it is not expensive. This is the most advanced fighter jet that Iraq can buy, and the price is similar to that of the Su-27.

"Okay, we can buy it." Saddam said: "If we had been able to get in touch with this kind of fighter jet ten years earlier, the abominable Iranians would have been defeated by us."

When Saddam spoke, his beards on both sides were slanting, his eyebrows were dancing, and his words were very contagious.

Until now, when the Iran-Iraq War ended, both sides believed that they had won. No one admitted that they were losers. In fact, the Iran-Iraq War was a war of both losses, and both sides lost a large amount of population. The country's economy was regressing and it was carrying huge foreign debts. There was no winner in this battle.

"In order to fight against the export revolution of the Iranians, Iraq has made outstanding contributions to our world peace." Mhamad said: "If we hadn't fought too hard with the Soviets, we really wanted to form a volunteer army and beat the Iranians with our Iraqi compatriots."

Anyway, the war has ended, and Mhamad is not afraid of anything, and these people in Iraq sound very kind-hearted.

"Yes, Pakistan has also fought arduous battles in order to fight against the Soviet invasion. Our army has become stronger in battle." Saddam said with emotion. Now, Iraq's army has doubled its expansion from before the war! Saddam is very confident that his army is the most powerful military force in the entire Middle East!

"It's a pity that we want to order a large number of Tomcat fighters this time to make our air force more elite. It seems that this wish is about to fail." Hamid said on the side.

"We have another plan for a fighter jet," said Mhamad. "If you want, I can introduce it to you."

Another fighter! Old Arslan next to him was stunned. Does his fourth-generation aircraft plan still require Iraqis to get involved? Unlike Saudi Arabia, Iraq is quite warlike!

"We believe that Pakistan's defense industry will definitely have advanced fighter jets!" Saddam said: "I am very happy to see your new fighter jets."

The group came to the conference room, and an engineer from Pakistan Aeronautics Corporation picked up a model.

When he saw that model, Old Alslan felt relieved and thought it was a fourth-generation aircraft. It turned out to be a JF-1 fighter jet jointly developed with China!

Last time Mhamad visited China, he signed a foreign trade aircraft contract with Cheng Fei. Pakistan invested half of the funds to develop this light fighter. Due to Pakistan's capital injection and mature models to rely on, namely the F-16 fighter, the project is going on very quickly. Now, Cheng Fei has a full-size wooden prototype model. It is estimated that in another year, metal prototypes can be created for test flights.

The whole body is similar to the f-16, and adopts a layout of large edge strip wings and cut-point triangular wings. It has a normal aerodynamic layout and a full-move flat tail. Moreover, unlike the later Xiaolong, it uses air intake for the machine belly.

When Cheng Fei was developing the No. 10 aircraft, he had already adopted the f-16 nose. The air intake method of the belly air intake can give the aircraft excellent maneuverability of large angle of attack. In the third generation aircraft, this is a very important parameter. Moreover, the air intake on both sides will block the air intake port on one side when steering, which is low intake, but the air intake will not be there. As for the disadvantage, the air intake on the belly air intake has high requirements for the airport and is easy to suck in the airport sand and gravel and other things. Anyway, Iraq is economically developed, and the air bases are all concrete runways, so it will not be a simple field airport, so these are not problems.

This foreign trade aircraft was originally a light aircraft developed for the Third World, mainly used to replace the J-7 fighter jet. But now, since Iraq has come to the door on its own initiative, Mhamad will of course fool them.

Although Iraq has a lot of foreign debt, its arms expenditure has always been very large. Frauding Iraq to equip this fighter jet can make Pakistan and Chengfei make another big profit.

"Is this an F-16?" asked Hamid, the commander-in-chief of Iraqi Air Force who is familiar with air force equipment: "Your side not only imitates the Tomcat fighter jet, but also imitates the F-16 fighter jet?"

The main force of the Pakistan Air Force are the Tomcat fighter jets and the F-16 fighter jets. Now, seeing that the model of this fighter jet looks very similar to the F-16, Hamid immediately raised questions.

"This is a new fighter we developed by ourselves." The engineer introduced to them: "The aerodynamic layout of this fighter was carefully developed by ourselves and determined after more than a year of wind tunnels. The air intake on the belly will give the fighter excellent high-angle-of-attack fighting ability. At the same time, the advanced turbofan engine can effectively reduce fuel consumption. The air-optimal loading of this fighter has a combat radius of more than 800 kilometers, and its instant hovering ability is also among the third-generation aircraft."

"Is it your own development?" asked Ibrahim, Chief of Staff of the Iraqi Armed Forces, suspiciously.

"It's not entirely self-developed. We have referred to some advanced fighter design concepts. At the same time, we cooperated with China's companies to jointly develop." Mhamad explained on the side, complaining in his heart that the engineer he found misunderstood his meaning and was a bit too much.

"Can you produce now?" Hamid asked.

"It is still in the R&D stage." The engineer continued: "Next year we will freeze all designs, manufacture metal prototypes, and conduct test flights. If the project goes well, the first batch of pre-production models will be delivered within four years."

An advanced third-generation machine will be developed for several years, and the highest will be even more than ten years. However, Cheng Fei has developed the No. 10 machine and has completed the entire process of developing a model. At the same time, it is a copy based on surveying and mapping the F-16, and various technical difficulties have been overcome, so the project is progressing very quickly. Of course, four years are also optimistic estimates, and the final progress may be delayed by one or two years.

Hearing that the fighter jet had not been developed yet, Saddam couldn't help but frown. He was here to buy the fighter jet, and he needed a fighter jet that could immediately equip the troops, rather than the model being developed!

"Mr. President Saddam, do you know what we can win in the air battle with the Soviet Union?" said Mhamad.

When Saddam heard Mhamad suddenly raised such a question, he couldn't help but be curious. He had studied the war in South Asia. Every time the Pakistan Air Force relied on powerful Tomcat fighters to gain an advantage in air combat.
