Chapter 1135 Tit for tat

Even though Mavita had said the same thing just a minute ago.

But the meanings of these two "how is it possible" are completely opposite.

The former is the confidence that everything is under control.

As for the latter, it was the disbelief caused by the shock in one's heart...

All the plans previously made by IAI, from collecting intelligence, to buying off personnel, to interference testing... were based on the prediction that the two competitors were "not making fast progress."

Therefore, the main focus is on a few months later.

According to the plan, the performance will really begin after the test of G550 "Sea Eagle" is completed.

But now, the sudden appearance of the early warning aircraft in front of them disrupted all their deployments...

For a moment, Mavita's mind was a mess and she couldn't make any sense of it.

Until Elan Copes's voice woke him from his daze:

"So...what's going on now?"

In fact, the former was also in a completely confused state at this moment.

But the bidding for early warning aircraft was not, after all, Mossad's own business. It was just cleaning up IAI's mess at the request of its leaders.

So it is hard to say that there is no mentality of watching the joke.

Sure enough, after hearing Cops's sarcastic question, Mavita's expression changed drastically.

However, the latter also knew that now was not the time to get angry with his own people.

He just replied sarcastically:

"The basis of all our speculation is that Dassault delivered the first Falcon 12Z for commercial trial operation to China in December last year, but this aircraft did not appear in several major airports in China..."

Hearing this, the expression on Cops's face changed slightly, and his attitude softened significantly.

Because the above message was provided by Mossad to IAI.

But now it seems that there is clearly a problem with accuracy.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then almost simultaneously chose to look away.

Internal conflicts can be discussed later.

Now they are still grasshoppers on the same rope.

"So...Dassault should have delivered a modified flight platform to China in advance during the test flight phase..."

Mavita spoke first and took the initiative to give the other party a way out.

The latter also followed suit:

"Yeah...it's impossible for them to modify an early warning aircraft in just six months. They must have used some method to avoid our detection..."

In fact, if we look into this matter in depth, there are still many problems.

For example, early warning aircraft always have to undergo test flights after production, but there have been no eyewitness reports, and no satellite images of the aircraft parked on the tarmac.

Even the UAE did not disclose any relevant information in advance.

It’s not that a short test flight can’t be kept confidential.

But as a model jointly developed by two countries and aimed at foreign trade, the normal operation should be to publicize every major time node to ensure user confidence.

Anyway, after you sell it, others will always know the information they need to know.

There is no reason to go to so much trouble to hide it.

unless……

After calming down, Mavita suddenly thought of a possibility -

Unless the other party anticipated that someone wanted to cheat during the test and deliberately launched a surprise attack.

"Elan, what do you think..."

He originally wanted to discuss this possibility with the other party, but gave up when the words came to his lips.

On the one hand, only a very small number of people, including himself, were involved in this matter, so it was impossible for it to be leaked, and the other party would never have known about it in advance.

On the other hand, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.

Thinking too much can do harm.

"Uh…what did you say?"

Copps thought he hadn't heard it clearly.

"I mean, maybe there's still hope."

Mavita replied:

"According to our process during this period, after the aircraft arrives in the UAE, it will take another 7-10 days to verify the design information before it can enter the testing process."

"Didn't you just say that the people at the Alba Palace Airport are easy to deal with? Then we should take action as soon as possible during this period. It would be best if we can bribe the minor personnel in core positions such as ground staff or drone operators..."

Copps frowned slightly:

"That's not a problem. In fact, I've already selected a few targets in the past few days... but what happens after I bribe them?"

"I mean... didn't you just say that the jamming equipment still needs some modifications?"

Mavita sighed softly and replied:

"It's definitely too late to modify the original plan. Now we can only simply reduce the power... Fortunately, the power required for forwarding coherent interference is not large, and we don't need to completely disable the opponent's radar, which would seem too fake. We just need to make their reaction speed to the target significantly slower..."

"Even if the UAE Air Force intends to continue the tradition of using French equipment, it is unlikely to accept a product with obvious technical defects."

"..."

After deploying the mission, Mavita returned to the celebrating crowd in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

But his mind had already flown thousands of miles away.

He went over the timeline of the Falcon 8Z business jet project in his mind.

But no matter what, there is no way to deal with the situation in front of me...

"Why is it so fast?"

He muttered to himself helplessly.

……

"We improved the original aircraft production process and more than doubled the efficiency."

On another apron at the Albatin Palace Airport, Casore and Marin were discussing the situation of the early warning aircraft not far behind them with Crown Prince Mohammed who had come to greet them:

"So, if your country can choose our model, we can guarantee that we will deliver the first aircraft within six months after receiving the deposit, and send a group of technicians to provide on-site guidance!"

When Cassore was in mid-air just now, he had already seen the G550 early warning aircraft parked on the ground.

He knew very well that the biggest advantage of David Country was its short delivery cycle, which enabled it to quickly form combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the issue of delivery cycle was emphasized right from the start.

Sure enough, after hearing "six months", the Crown Prince's expression did not change, but the pace of his steps slowed down slightly.

Although David State has previously said that it can deliver spot goods, the prerequisite is that a decision will be made by the end of this year or early next year.

It’s not much different from the time guaranteed by the Frenchman in front of me.

And if the delivery cycle of all four aircraft is taken into account, the Falcon Z will be faster.

Although the UAE is not in a hurry to go to war with anyone, it is eager to use new equipment to enhance its voice within the GCC and to bridge the relationship between the Abu Dhabi and Dubai factions.

Seeing that the previously agreed upon rhetoric had worked, Marin also took advantage of the situation to strike while the iron was hot:

"In addition, Your Excellency, the Crown Prince, in addition to the basic early warning and command functions, the 'Gaoming' early warning system has also specially enhanced the capabilities of wide-bandwidth angle detection and anti-electromagnetic interference... The former allows the early warning aircraft to fly a freer route, and as for the latter... I believe that as a fighter pilot, you should have a direct understanding of the power of electronic warfare..."

"Therefore, we hope to add relevant items to this actual machine test to more intuitively demonstrate the product performance..."

This move is called turning the tables on the opponent.

Based on the movements of the David Country, Liang Shaoxiu and Chang Haonan have basically determined that the other party will create obstacles for them during the test.

Instead of responding completely passively, it is better to take the initiative.

Don't you want to interfere?

Then I will directly ask Party A to add an anti-interference capability test.

Not only can it promote product performance.

If handled well, it is possible that the UAE will "accidentally" discover the Davidic Empire's small moves, thereby creating some rifts between the two sides.

Faced with this request, even Crown Prince Mohammed could not help but show some surprise.

As a big dealer in Middle Eastern products, he has handled the purchase of equipment too many times.

From tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to fighter jets and helicopters, and then to patrol boats and frigates...

In other words, it is really difficult to buy medium-range ballistic missiles these days, otherwise we would have to acquire dozens of them to match Saudi Arabia.

But even though he was so experienced, it was the first time he saw the other party take the initiative to add burden to himself during the test.

"If you add subjects at short notice, it may take a little extra time to arrange them."

The Crown Prince replied with interest.

"Of course that's no problem..."

Marin was prepared for this:

"But we have a small request."

"please say."

“Before the test is officially launched, do not disclose the specific subjects to the outside world, including airport staff, too early…”
