Chapter 1740 It’s hard to do with a gun, ask for a monthly pass

"Wait, you mean, there are also hunting suits of 'super toucan' in the United States?"

Yang Cheng swears to the lamp that he really didn't think about this. Yes, how could the United States have no "super toucans"? If there is no demand in this regard, why would Nevada company produce it?

I wish I could slap myself in the mouth, but I really got back to life. Why didn’t my brain come out?

Leiden was not sure, thinking that Yang Cheng really didn't know, and he explained seriously, "I heard that some MPs submitted a proposal to Congress that a new light attack aircraft project, once it was reached, the Super Toucan might usher in a blowout order."

Hansen also heard about this and immediately said, "Indeed, this light attack aircraft project is a solution for the US Air Force to improve pilot shortages and reduce usage costs.

The US Air Force believes that the old A-10 is not suitable for frequent dispatch to perform close-range air support missions, while the new F-35 is too low to perform low-intensity missions.

Therefore, some professionals proposed a light attack project, namely LAS, to provide a light and low-cost frontline aircraft that performs tasks in low-intensity conflicts."

Leiden nodded and agreed, "That's right, in fact, in 1965, the US military equipped OV-10 reconnaissance bombers using turboprop engines. In the Yuenan War, it brought great help to the Marines. Later, it was retired from the United States, and this aircraft still played a role in the combat sequences of some countries.

Some requirements for the bidding of LAS light attack aircraft are basically the same as that of the "Super Toucan". They can carry air-to-air missiles, and can also install ground-guided missiles, including a 12.7mm cannon and night vision system.

So the US military purchased a total of 120 super toucans, with order contracts of up to US$350 million.

But Nevada Shan only delivered six ‘super toucans’ in total, and the project was stopped and the order was cancelled.”

Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, "The project was stopped? This is a bit intriguing~"

Leiden agreed deeply, "Yes, logically speaking, with the super-toothie's super-low maintenance costs and the low requirements for pilots, all troops should fight for it, but they didn't expect it to be stopped."

Hansen shook his head and said, "It is not difficult to understand. In order to adapt to low-level combat, the requirements are definitely not low. The advantages and disadvantages of the 'Super Toucan' are also obvious.

The purchase price is low, and as a turboprop aircraft, its flight cost is only US$430-530 per hour; its transition range is as high as 2,800 kilometers, its stay time is as long as 8 hours, and its stall speed is only 180 kilometers per hour, which shows that it has excellent low-speed performance. In ground attacks, excellent low-speed performance brings more abundant attack windows and higher accuracy when using unguided weapons;

At the same time, it has short-distance take-off and landing capabilities, which has lower requirements for airports, making its use and deployment more flexible and has lower requirements for pilots.

The disadvantages are more obvious. Its too small size leads to its relatively fragile structure and insufficient protection, poor survival, and low speed means it is easier to be attacked by enemy air defense weapons. However, there is basically no possibility of survival under the hunting of enemy jet fighters. In other words, the 'Super Toucan' can only bully aircraft that are worse than it. It can only be used when its own side guarantees absolute air supremacy and the enemy's ground does not have advanced and reliable air defense weapons. To put it bluntly, it is used for public security at most, which is not enough to meet the US light attack combat mission."

After explaining this, Yang Cheng immediately understood, "So, the six 'super toucans' that have been equipped to service have become dispensable?"

Hansen shook his head, "I'm not sure~"

But Leiden said, "I think yes, for the United States, this is a waste of money, it's better to sell it for money.

But in Lebanon, these 6 ‘super toucans’ are enough to ensure urban security. As for air defense, I guess they don’t have much hope. After all, the F-35 with the SE column flew over with one push, and no super toucans can set off fireworks.”

Yang Cheng changed into a face of a prodigal businessman, "How much should I pay for this second-hand plane? 2 million per plane?"

Hansen and Leiden looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Boss, don't joke, it's their virtue that is accumulated without a premium~"

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Don't worry, what did you say, there is someone who can do anything in vain~"

With Demien taking action, he can't get 2 million, but 5 million is OK? Is it considered bad if he sells 20 million at that time? It should not count as a 4-fold profit.

"Okay, don't worry about this. Just kill Aota and we will make sure to make the money."

At this time, Hansen's cell phone rang, and he answered in front of Yang Cheng and said a few words. His face became gloomy. Then he covered the microphone and said to Yang Cheng, "Boss, stared at the brother of the salesman of Aiota to call, saying that he might have been discovered, and the salesman was trying to get rid of the tracking~"

Yang Cheng, who was originally a little happy, instantly turned from sunny to dark, "How could he be discovered? Didn't the salesperson stay in the hotel honestly?"

"The other party suddenly went out, and our brother was not ready in time. He got up in a hurry and was discovered immediately."

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "Forget it, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Since it has been discovered, don't hide it. Just catch people directly. Are we enough people? Not enough for Andrew to go~"

Without his command, Andrew had already rushed out of the door.

Hansen gave a few instructions to the phone before hanging up, lowered his head to apologize, "It was my negligence~"

Yang Cheng was not so angry, and accidents could happen at any time. "It's not your fault. The salesperson actually had the ability to detect reconnaissance or even counter-tracking. It seems that he is not an ordinary salesperson~"

Leiden has a deep understanding of this, "Eiota's salesmen have either been on the battlefield or have rich intelligence work experience, are not weak, and at least have the ability to protect themselves."

Yang Cheng nodded, "That Gavin Glington is a bit powerful. No wonder Xingde said he was difficult to deal with. He actually wanted to find a group of soldiers and Spy as salesmen."

Leiden worried, "Will that salesman notify Gavin?"

Yang Cheng nodded with a serious expression, "It's hard to say, what if it's you?"

Hansen affirmed, "Yes, you have to warn me like a superior when you are discovered. Of course, if he has other thoughts, he might choose to hide it."

Yang Cheng shook his head, "You can't pin your hopes on assumptions. I hope our brothers can do things quickly enough and don't give each other too much time to prepare."

After saying that, he smashed the handrail of the sofa hard, and a dull sound of "Damn~"
