Before leaving, Kadal had done his homework and refused to not Shen Hoy, uh, the J-11b developed by Shen Fei.

The J-11b, a single-seat and twin-engine, is a heavy air combat fighter based on the Su-27sk "Flanker" model. It belongs to the latest improved model of the J-11 series. It is equipped with two Taihang engines, uses modern avionics and onboard pulse Doppler radar. The comprehensive performance and combat capability are the third generation, and cannot reach the level of third and a half generations.

The life of this heavy fighter is tragic. When it was born fourteen years ago, it was already behind and could not keep up with the trend development and technical requirements of the new era. Its true meaning is to achieve 100% domestic production of the Su-27sk's "Flanker" and the performance improvement is better than nothing.

Shen Fei Ying Shen Hoy's first iconic product!

Of course, it is undeniable that this heavy fighter with lagging performance and technical indicators is still younger and more advanced than the F-14a ‘Panda’ and MiG-29a ‘fulcrum’ of its own Air Force.

But this does not mean that you will be purchased. The J-11b is by no means a target for the Iranian Air Force.

"This production line is really advanced, the assembly equipment and instruments are complicated, and I have never seen some things."

"Please note that this J-11b looks pretty, but its performance is actually similar to that of the early days. Don't be fooled."

"It's really pretty. The flanker family looks like this. The central lift body layout is the most suitable aerodynamic layout for heavy machines. The classic flanker originates from this layout."

"It's an eye-opener. This production line is much more advanced than ours, which is something we don't have. Unfortunately, we can't visit the Chinese J-16 factory. I heard that they use advanced pulsating production lines. Of course, what I'm most interested in is the J-20."

"Hussein, don't think about the J-20. That is the highest secret between Cheng Fei and the Chinese Air Force. It is impossible for the J-16. If it weren't for Chen Fei's purpose of promoting the J-11b, we might not have come here to visit the production line."

The officers and experts who were searched and strictly inspected kept looking around, staring at the two yellow-painted J-11bs with burning eyes, and whispered.

Visiting the highly confidential fighter jet production workshop, even the J-11b, in order to ensure that there will be no leakage of secrets, visitors to the factory must undergo strict body searches and confirm that they will not carry any electronic equipment.

Hearing the whispers of these guys, Deputy Director Chen Huoyi Tan Qing observed secretly, carefully taking the reactions of Kadal and his accompanying members into his eyes, and the smile on his face remained, maintaining etiquette.

Facing the financial owner with a lot of money, Tan Qing silently looked forward to it, hoping that the other party would like to take a fancy to the J-11b and win a proud fighter jet arms sales order.

"Mr. Tan, can we have a close visit?" Kadal said without hesitation.

Deputy Director Tan Qing nodded and reminded: "Of course, General Kadal, but please do not touch it."

Close visits are allowed, and touching with your hands is prohibited because it may affect the fighter jets in production to a certain extent.

Your own products can only be touched by your own technicians. This is a matter of principle and you cannot make mistakes.

Kadar reached out to signal the accompanying pilot and technical expert, smiled unabated on his face, looked at Tan Qing, and said slowly: "Dear Mr. Tan, first of all, I have to admit that the J-11b is indeed a good fighter, but the comprehensive performance of this fighter does not meet our needs. The Iranian Air Force needs a high-performance heavy fighter with the same level as the world's mainstream."

The implication is that don’t use backward fighter jets like the J-11b to fool us. Can you get some real things?

"General Kadar, IMHO, the J-11b is the only fighter that our Shenfei can export. Its technological level and combat performance are far better than the F-14a's Panda. It can build a long-range attack system with the SD-10 medium-range missile."

Hearing Kadal's words, Tan Qing knew his intentions, his face was serious, his mind quickly ran through, and said seriously: "In addition, we can also provide you with a general data link port and hanger to launch all types of air-to-air missiles from our side, Russia, the United States and Iraq, including Immortal Missiles. Of course, you need to provide data support."

"Mr. Tan, this is still not what we need. The J-11b is not suitable for the Iranian Air Force. We want the J-16." Kadar showed disappointment on his face and did not continue to keep an eye on it. He bluntly emphasized the core goal of this trip.

After preliminary screening and investigation and pre-research, the Iranian Air Force only has two core targets for purchasing Russian Su-35 and medium-sized J-16, among which it is more inclined toward the advanced and intelligent J-16 of avionics, rather than the Su-35 equipped with 117s binary vector engine.

J-11b?

This performance lags behind and is derived from the Flanker family's heavy fighter jets and is far from meeting the requirements of the new century.

It is 2019 now, and it will be more than a month before entering 2020. It is not the era of cobra maneuvering that stunned the world in the late 1980s.

Even though we are behind, we are not fools.

What do you do when you buy the J-11b?

If you want to buy, you have to buy the best, high-end and sophisticated products, which meet the trend of the times and the future needs of the Iranian Air Force.

"Sorry, General Kadar, the J-16 is listed on the list of prohibited exports of Class I weapons in our army. We cannot sell the J-16 to you." Tan Qing shook his head slightly and refused without hesitation.

J-16, this is also the bottom line that Chen Fei cannot violate.

The J-11b can be sold casually, and it is a breakthrough in expectations. It is a skill to be able to sell dozens of aircraft, and it is a matter of waiting for meritorious service.

Unfortunately, the tricks against the Iranian Air Force delegation were basically failed.

"Is there really no way to be able to accommodate?" Kadal looked disappointed. This was the first time he could not buy what he wanted with money: "Mr. Tan, we will purchase at least 300 J-16s, or even 400!"

The number of 400 aircraft is amazing, but Tan Qing was not moved at all and gave the final answer: "Sorry."

Rules are rules, they cannot be trampled on.

The sales profit of 400 fighter jets is insignificant compared to the interests of the military and national security.

Hearing this answer that was not beyond expectations and disappointing, Kadal fell silent and stopped talking. As a general, he could not mess around like a shrew, nor would he pray for others like a beggar, and he had his own dignity and pride.

The atmosphere fell into dullness and depression, slightly solemn.

The visit is still going on. After a close visit by technical experts and pilots, the entire visit officially ended. Accompanied by Tan Qing, the Iranian Air Force delegation left the J-11b confidential production workshop after a second and strict inspection and confirmation.

After a polite and polite manner, Kadar and Tan Qing led the entire team away. The expected goals and goals were not achieved in their hearts. They were extremely disappointed and prepared to return to the base guesthouse to discuss the next round of countermeasures.
