Actual combat is the only criterion for testing weapons!

After returning all the way to Bogota Airport, everyone re-entered the conference room. Sean smiled and looked at the top brass of the Colombian military, "How are you? Are you satisfied with the firepower of the Devil Bird?"

A group of people from the military looked at the Air Force Minister. The Air Force Minister looked at the President and then nodded affirmatively, "Not bad. Compared with armed helicopters, it has a larger bomb load, more powerful firepower, longer cruising time, and a combat radius

It's bigger, faster and safer, but not as flexible as a helicopter."

"However, compared with fixed-wing fighter jets, it is indeed a very backward product. It has no advantages in air combat and cannot defeat even second-generation fighter jets."

Sean is a sensible person and has rich experience in umbrella operations. They have not thought about what they can do by belittling the devil bird.

Our identities are here, so it is impossible for us to do such a dishonorable thing.

Besides, when it comes to the level of a country, even if it’s business behavior, it’s not just about business itself.

What?

Isn’t the protective umbrella a national force?

However, the protective umbrella is stronger than the power of the country!

"It's a very positive review." Sean asked with a smile: "Then the question is, second-generation fighter jets are no longer available. How much does a third-generation fighter jet cost?"

"What's the damage to the ground?"

“How much does each sortie cost?”

“How much time and money does it take to train each pilot?”

"Do drug traffickers or rebels have third-generation fighter jets that can pose a threat to the Devil Bird?"

After a series of questions were raised, the Colombian military personnel fell silent. Their responsibility was to objectively evaluate combat effectiveness and whether it was necessary.

Whether to buy it, how much to buy, and at what price is the president's business.

Sean also introduced several other models of the Devil Bird aircraft, including trainer aircraft, early warning aircraft, patrol aircraft, and reconnaissance aircraft, including many civilian models.

Overall, for the current situation in Colombia, this turboprop aircraft is more practical and useful than a jet fighter.

No matter how good a jet is, it's useless if you can't use it.

Uh... I can't even afford it.

After completing their mission, the military personnel took their leave, leaving Sean and Gustavo at the scene.

…

While Sean and Gustavo were discussing the new aircraft deal, on the other side, in a mountainous area southeast of Medellin, Pablo received a message from his subordinates.

A drug manufacturing stronghold near the capital Bogota was attacked. All equipment and goods were burned and half of the people were killed.

Normally, there is no need to send a message directly to Pablo for such a 'little matter'. After all, he is the world's largest drug lord, controlling 80% of the world's coke production, and the real underground emperor of Colombia.

More than 70% of Colombia's important judges and administrative councilors secretly serve Pablo, as well as the police, middle- and low-level government administrators, etc.

In more than ten years, thousands of police officers, judges and government workers were openly killed, including three presidential candidates.

So, it's really a small thing.

"The military took action?" Pablo frowned and looked at his men with burning eyes. "The military took action. Why didn't we get the news?"

Pablo also has connections with the military. He has been able to run rampant in Colombia for so many years and kill so many high-ranking government officials with no fuss, not only because of the 40,000 armed men in his hands.

The men shook their heads.

"Then how can you be sure that someone from the military did it?" Pablo asked again.

"First there were armed helicopters, then fighter jets bombed, there were incendiary bombs, and there were machine guns."

Pablo said nothing and squinted his eyes and thought for a while. It was true that there was no news from the military, but the only one who could dispatch air power near the Colombian capital was the military.

so……

"Ask me, I need the military to give me an explanation!" Pablo's face was covered with frost, and his tone was calm with murderous intent.

If the military or government cannot give him a reasonable explanation, then he will definitely take revenge.

He must not let others think that he is weak.

Once he becomes weak, he is completely finished.

"This...is!" The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and walked out.

Two hours later, news came through their secret channels that this was really not a military operation.

Someone from an American company came to promote a new aircraft and test its combat effectiveness in actual combat.

Pablo's expression was stiff and his lips trembled slightly, which was because he was angry.

The president of the government is so arrogant that he dares to use his people to test the combat effectiveness of aircraft.

Is there any royal law?

Is there any law?

Don't think it's strange for a drug dealer to have such thoughts, not at all.

This is Colombia. Drug traffickers are so rampant, killing police officers, judges, senior government officials, congressmen, and the president...

Choose money or bullets?

This is a multiple-choice question before every Colombian official, and they must choose one.

Revenge, must be revenge!

Not only to retaliate against the government, but also to retaliate against this American company!

As for which American company it was, Pablo didn't care at all.

What about the big arms companies?

The U.S. government has always wanted to get rid of Pablo, and even took action in 1984. The U.S. military dispatched a large number of aircraft, carrying 5,000 Colombian government troops to attack Pablo's lair. Colleagues dispatched more than 60 F-16 fighter jets and armed forces

Helicopters conduct air strikes and support.

But the results achieved were rubbish.

Only 150 drug dealers were killed before and after, and more than a thousand people were captured.

The Colombian military was already in ruins. Before they could take action, Pablo got the news and ran away.

A month later, Pablo launched a counterattack, and the anti-drug commander-in-chief, Justice Minister Lara, was shot dead.

In May, more than 50 drug traffickers simply stormed into the Colombian Ministry of Justice building and tried to kidnap senior officials from the Ministry of Justice, Supreme Court, Supreme Prosecutor's Office and Anti-Narcotics Police who were meeting.

More than 400 military police resisted, and the two sides formed a stalemate for a time. Later, drug traffickers from 3 missiles came for reinforcements. The fighting lasted until late at night, and it was not until the Colombian Defense Forces joined the battle that the drug traffickers calmly led five judges and a police chief.

Leave.

It sounds like a few simple words, but in reality it reveals many problems.

When such a big incident occurred in the capital area, why did the military not dispatch until the two sides fought for more than ten hours?

What were you doing before?

Why are the roads not blocked so that drug traffickers can receive the second batch of reinforcements?

This kind of thing can happen, what else can Pablo not dare to do!

So what about the Americans? He is really not a bad guy. Even the US military has been dispatched, so it’s not like they can’t do anything to him!

Of course, that's not to say that he thinks the U.S. military really can't do anything to him.

His 40,000 armed personnel dare not meet the US military, but this is Colombia. The US military cannot send tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people just to deal with him. No matter how much Colombia dislikes him, no matter how useless he is,

It won't be allowed.

Then the country will truly be devastated.

When the U.S. military is unable to fully exert its power, what else does it have to fear?

Just one word!

…

"That's it?"

"OK!"

After two days of negotiations, Sean reached a preliminary agreement with Colombian President Gustavo.

The 211th, 312th and 611th Squadrons of the Colombian military received a total of 25 Devil Bird fighter equipment units.

There are 8 models of Type A, equipped with relatively advanced night vision equipment and other night combat equipment, and can carry a full range of weapons including laser-guided missiles and infrared combat bombs.

The maximum transit range is 3,300 kilometers, the combat radius is 1,500 kilometers, and the price is US$13 million.

There are 6 B-type aircraft, which reduces night combat equipment. Although the anti-government forces and drug traffickers do not have night combat capabilities, the government forces also do not have it... In other words, if there is a night battle, it will only be the Devil Bird fighting alone.

Therefore, taking into account the actual situation, only 8 A-type aircraft were ordered for night strike and deterrence, and at the same time, they could cooperate with the operations of small-scale special operations forces.

The price of Type B is only 9.8 million.

In fact, Sean still wants to sell Type A. If he can make a lot of money, how much does a night vision device cost?
