Ten million dollars, forty planes, that's two hundred and fifty thousand.
For Gao Yang, buying arms in Ukraine is not based on the number of piles, but on a single price. He will definitely turn around and leave. In this place, what he wants is the effect of clearing inventory.
Gao Yang is really strange to an-32 aircraft. He can't know all the aircraft in the world like the back of his hand. However, since it is a medium and short-range transport aircraft, it can't be too small. The price of 140 million aircraft is really OK, but the premise is to find out what's going on at the end of these aircraft, because things are cheap, But what's the matter with spending $10 million to buy back 40 pieces of flightless garbage.
After pondering for a moment, Gao Yang nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "it sounds good, but please tell me carefully what kind of aircraft an-32 aircraft is, and the key is the condition of these aircraft."
Celin nodded and whispered: "An-32 is the development type of an-26 aircraft, which can be used in high-altitude airports. The engine power is larger than that of an-26. The fuselage is almost the same as that of an-26. Only the outer chord of the wing is lengthened and enlarged, the flat tail is equipped with leading edge slats, and the ventral fins are enlarged and low-pressure tires are adopted, which can take off and land on a simple runway. In addition, everything is the same as that of an-26."
Gao Yang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "what's the load? Where's the pilot?"
"The chief and co pilot, pilot, radio communicator and flight engineer are all members of a crew. There is a movable electric winch in the cabin, which can lift up to two tons of cargo at a time. Folding chairs are installed along both sides of the bulkhead, which can carry 39 fully armed paratroopers, or place 24 stretchers and a medical staff."
After that, sailin took the initiative to explain without waiting for Gao Yang's question: "the maximum load of an-32 is 6.7 tons and the normal load is 5.5 tons. If it flies according to the maximum load and maximum fuel load, the maximum range will be 860 kilometers. If it flies with the maximum fuel load and 5.5 tons, the range can reach 2000 kilometers. If it is empty, the maximum range can reach 3000 kilometers."
Gao Yang touched his chin, pondered carefully for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "the key question is, which countries have equipped this type of aircraft, and how long has the history of these aircraft?"
Selin hesitated for a moment and said, "well, only India is equipped with an-32. India placed an order in 1982, began to deliver the aircraft in 1984 and ended the delivery in 1992."
Gao Yang said with a smile, "the earliest planes were 84? Oh, these planes are old enough."
Celin immediately said, "but these aircraft are in good condition. They have always been used as the main medium-range transport aircraft in India."
It is normal for large aircraft such as transport aircraft and bombers to have been in service for decades. Even for aircraft of 82 years, as long as the maintenance work can be done, even if they lag behind, there will be no problem in more than ten years.
Gao Yang patted the table with his fingers. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Why are Indian planes here and can you sell them?"
Celin swallowed his mouth and whispered, "why is the plane here? That's because India and Ukraine signed a contract. A total of 104 an-32 transport planes were sent to Ukraine, of which 40 were maintained and upgraded by Antonov aircraft manufacturing company. The remaining 64 were in India and maintained and upgraded by Ukrainian experts."
After that, Celin raised his head, looked up and whispered, "in addition, I didn't sell the plane alone, which involved a lot of people, so the price of 10 million can't be changed."
Gao Yang raised his hand, frowned and said, "wait a minute, I suddenly remembered a problem, that is, these aircraft have been maintained in India for decades, and only Hal family can do this in India, right?"
Celin smiled bitterly and whispered, "yes."
Gao Yang waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "sorry, Hal passed the plane. I don't dare or want it."
Hal is the abbreviation of Hindustan Airlines Limited, which is the famous widow manufacturer and manufacturer of flying coffins.
What's the power of Hal? The Indian air force is the most crashed air force in the world, and the vast majority of the crashed aircraft of the Indian Air Force fell through the hands of Hal.
From 1992 to 2004, Hal company assembled two MiG-21, overhauled eight, and eight of them crashed.
One mig-21bison was assembled and one was overhauled, and one of them crashed.
Three pumas were assembled and five were overhauled, six of which crashed.
Overhaul phantom-2000 four, all crashed.
Three MiG-27 were assembled and three were overhauled, of which four crashed.
Three MiG-29 aircraft were overhauled and all crashed.
In recent years, 26 of the 29 planes crashed by the Indian army were manufactured, overhauled or upgraded by Hal. However, this is nothing. These planes only fell immediately or soon after Hal's hand, not the number of planes dropped by the whole India. There are more planes dropped by the whole Indian air force than this list. This must be made clear.
If you want to say the number of crashes of the entire Indian air force, 52 planes fell in 2003 alone. Of course, these planes basically have to go through the hands of Hal, but it's a matter of time, because Hal is India's largest defense contractor.
In 2002, India had an upgrade plan for MiG-21 fighters, and then the Indian Ministry of defense was very bold. They gave the contract to Hal. Therefore, Hal dared to accept the contract if the Ministry of defense dared to give the contract. It was just that those pilots who dared to fly the upgraded MiG-21 were suffering. After the plane was delivered, they fell and broke until the Ministry of defense couldn't carry it, Then he quickly cancelled the remaining contract with Hal and handed it to Russia for upgrading. Of course, handing the contract to Russia means that India is ready to be slaughtered.
By the way, in 2009, the Indian air force dropped an an-32, and that an-32 was also overhauled by Hal.
Widow maker, that's it!
Gao Yang was originally very interested in an-32, because although he didn't know where to monopolize an-32 aircraft, it was good to use it himself. This medium and short-range transport aircraft was also suitable for their company, but just because he wanted to use it himself, the aircraft handled by Hal company couldn't really want it, although it was cheap and almost free.
Looking at Gao Yang's regretful expression, Celin was a little worried. He said anxiously: "The aircraft handled by Hal company really can't be taken, but these aircraft have not been sent to Ukraine. Antonov manufacturing plant will thoroughly overhaul and transform these aircraft, and there is no need to worry about safety! In addition, these aircraft have been upgraded, and some equipment has been replaced and upgraded. This is not the aircraft just sent from India."
Gao Yang rubbed his hands, then said with a tangled face: "generally speaking, Indian aircraft still make people have to worry. In addition, an-32 aircraft are only available in India, and these aircraft really belong to India. If I buy them, who can I sell them to? Who dares to want such a large number of owned aircraft? Man, your business is not easy to do."
Selin said in a deep voice: "it's not a problem at all. An-32 is very similar to an-26, and there are many users of an-26. Poland, Hungary, Romania, Iraq, Somalia and Syria all have them. These aircraft must change the coating. Who can recognize them if they change the coating."
Gao Yang shook his head and said with great interest, "you just said there was an-26 in Somalia?"
Selin nodded and said, "yes, there are still a small number of an-26 in Somalia with the assistance of the Soviet Union, but only in Mogadishu and Berbera airports. They are used as passenger planes. Of course, they are passenger and cargo planes."
Gao Yang is excited. Berbera has an airport. He knows that Berbera's airport is very rudimentary and doesn't even have a paved runway, but Berbera still has an-26 taking off and landing frequently. He really doesn't know.
We have already talked with the skeleton gang. Berbera is jointly managed by the solar system company and the skeleton gang. It's really capable to get a batch of disguised an-32 for our own use.
It's unreasonable not to get these planes. Gao Yang immediately made up his mind. Even if these planes were Indian, he would make up his mind.
Gao Yang kept his face unchanged, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "well, now I want to know how likely it is to operate specifically. You can't take the money, and then tell me that the plane in the airport is yours. Drive yourself. You must have a specific plan. I want to know how to deliver the plane now?"
Celin smiled: "as long as you pay the money, you can drive away the plane at any time. Antonov aircraft factory has its own test pilots, but if they help you drive away the plane, you have to pay some money. Of course, you can find your own pilot."
Gao Yang shook his head and said in a deep voice, "you mean, as long as the plane leaves the ground, even if the transaction is successful, right?"
Celin nodded, "yes."
Gao Yang sighed and said in a deep voice, "do you think it's possible for all forty planes to leave at one time?"
After thinking for a moment, Selin shook his head and said, "this is really impossible, but where is the plane? You can drive away slowly. Anyway, the plane will not be delivered to India until next year. During this time, you can drive away slowly."
Gao Yang shook his head and said with a smile, "man, business is not like this. I don't agree with your plan. Now I have a business plan. Do you want to hear it?"
