In 2022, the U.S. nuclear dealers called Putin the "strongest salesman" and single-handedly increased global defense spending.
In the opinion of Richard Abrafia, the manager of the American Aviation Power Consulting Company, Putin is completely the top salesman of the F-35. He single-handedly brought many countries around the world to change their strategies and increase defense spending.
Putin, the political leader, what does it have to do with sales pitches?As a Russian leader, how could he help the United States sell fighter jets?
Without a doubt, Putin is by far the best F-35 salesman. In an interview, industry representative Richard Ablafia said.
This sentence is his heartfelt voice and represents his truest thoughts at the moment. And Russia's promotion of American fighter jets, he doesn't seem to feel anything wrong with this statement.
If this word reaches Putin's ears, Mr. ** will probably be furious because of this, angrily accusing Westerners of being brazen.
At first glance, Richard's remarks are indeed absurd. However, if you think about it carefully in the context of the global defense market, you feel that there is some truth in this statement.
After the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, many Western countries realized that a large-scale military strike could befall them at any time. Therefore, they have paid more and more attention to national defense construction and increased national defense spending.
One of the most significant is that they have increased their orders for the new generation of American fighter F-35.
Canada and Germany, which were originally hesitant, finally made up their minds to buy F-35s in large quantities after seeing Putin's tough military action.
This is a fairly powerful integrated fighter, extremely adaptable and adaptable. Whether it is a single army or navy unit, or in the Marine Corps, which has a more complex combat mission, it can play a relatively full role.
Due to the completely different needs between different branches of the military, in order to achieve the requirements of high adaptability, the F-35 has various performance standard indexes far beyond the usual level of fighter research and development.
Its flight and combat advantages are also quite significant compared to the same type of products in the ** market.
The hovering skills, acceleration ability, stability and altitude climb performance of the fighter during the flight are all important criteria to measure its comprehensive performance. These flight performance are directly related to the technical parameters of the aircraft.
When developing the fighter jet, the team staff was very strict about the weight of the aircraft. If a fighter jet is overweight, it will be greatly hindered by gravity. Reducing the weight of fighter jets is a necessary improvement process.
The controversial F-35 fighter has carried out this process.
Through high-precision research and development and continuous improvement combined with actual needs, its flight and combat capabilities will naturally be continuously optimized.
It has a very sufficient attack and control angle, and the flight control restrictions are relatively relaxed, which can achieve more complex operations to a large extent. Under the guarantee of actual parameters, the fighter pilot can also control the flight without any worries.
In terms of structural design, the unique fuselage-wing fusion design and the clever use of ridge advantages allow it to maintain basic stability in the high-speed movement of the airflow, and with the help of aerodynamic force, it produces obvious lift.
The overall structure of the aircraft can also effectively reduce the air resistance and provide the necessary favorable conditions for the steady speed and acceleration of the fighter.
In addition, pilots have a better view in the cockpit, ensuring that their view is not obstructed by the parts of the aircraft itself.
You must know that in the process of flight operations, the field of view is directly linked to combat capability. If there are too many blind spots in the flight, even if the pilot's comprehensive quality is strong enough, I am afraid that there is no way to overcome the difficulties brought by the objective conditions.
The combination of a superior fighter jet and a capable pilot can often produce a 1+1 greater than 2 effect.
In addition, the F-35 has an innovative design in terms of materials, processing, system design, etc. It is an upgrade on the basis of the older generation of fighters, but the performance has been surpassed across the board.
It is for this reason that some countries have the idea of ordering F-35 from the United States. It's just that because its ** is too high, willing buyers are still hesitating.
Putin's strong actions pushed them to make up their final minds. What are the classic cases in history of such economic dividends brought about by war?
In 2022, Putin was named the best salesman for the F-35 by the United States, and global defense funding skyrocketed because of him.
What is the essence of this phenomenon that Putin "sells" fighter jets?
Richard's "sales pitch", although it was his feelings, was actually a kind of ridicule. After all, unless Russia is crazy, it will stand for its competitors.
The essence of this phenomenon is actually the abundance of economic development opportunities brought about by war. If there is war, there will be resource loss, and if there is resource loss, there will be resource trade.
Whether it is military resources or other types of resources, they will circulate in the market at a relatively fast speed.
John Rockefeller, America's first billionaire, is a typical tycoon who started out of war windfalls.
He is the only hero in the economic field in Bill Gates's heart, and he is also the maker of the grand counterattack. From a poor boy to a rich man, he completed his self-transformation.
He was born in 1839, and his father was a small businessman who could barely be considered a businessman. The family is not so poor that they can't open the pot, and of course they are not rich.
Maybe he learned some skills from his father, or maybe John was already talented, in short, at the age of 12, he had already figured out a way to make money by borrowing interest money.
This is actually the loan thinking, and in that era, a child from an ordinary family already had such a thinking.
His family history is inseparable from the war. And his real starting point was the American Civil War in 1861.
He had a keen sense of smell, and when the war was approaching, he invested all his savings, borrowed as much as he could, and used all his money to buy daily necessities and war supplies.
At this time, he had already foreseen the shortage of biological materials after the start of the war, which would lead to its soaring.
The depletion of resources by war is rapid and enormous, and the sense of insecurity it creates for ordinary people is also objective. In peacetime, the supplies that can provide a small town for half a month's normal life may be emptied in a few days in wartime.
Front-line soldiers need supplies for logistical support, and people in the rear will also subconsciously hoard supplies when the situation is turbulent, so as to cope with the risks that may arise at any time and increase their sense of security.
As a result, resources will be consumed at a daily rate, and soon, everything on the market will be snapped up.
He bought a large amount of materials in advance, but he became a monopoly supplier for many consumers by taking advantage of the information gap and time difference.
He can completely improve his ** at will, because in the case of nothing available, no matter how high his ** is, there is no way for people to refuse.
In this way, during the four years of the Civil War, he made a lot of money. Someone with a heart roughly estimated his income and thought that the figure should be above $100,000.
$100,000 in the mid-to-late 19th century was a considerable fortune. The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 was another opportunity for him.
At that time, the ** of oil fluctuated dramatically because of the war, falling from $4 to $3 per barrelAround $2.
Despite the fact that the unit price has fallen very inconspicuously, the magnitude of the oil business is huge, and the overall business value has shrunk beyond the reach of most small businesses.
They have only one option, and that is to take out a loan from a bank to survive the current crisis. Instead, John bought off the bank and closed the loan channel for small businesses.
In this way, the Standard Oil Company he founded can justifiably eat these small fish and shrimp and expand its own business scale.
The large enough volume supports him to fight the first war without scruples, and directly intervene in the supply and demand relationship of the oil market by raising prices first and then lowering prices, destroying the balance, embezzling more peers, and then monopolizing the entire oil industry.
The competitors watched his every move and gradually understood his intentions, but they could not do anything to stop him.
The American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War gave him a rare opportunity. And he also seized the opportunity of the war in a timely manner, and also seized the commercial dividends behind the war.
Although he was criticized for making a fortune from the war, he put the tangible benefits in his pocket.
A person can still achieve class leapfrogging through war, and a country can complete the large-scale accumulation of capital by making war money.
Isn't that how the United States got rich? The demand for the F-35 has grown rapidly precisely because the military conflict has brought too much uncertainty to the interested parties.
Of course, Putin is not just "selling" American fighter jets. He is also a good hand at promoting his country**. What is the country ** where he brings goods?
In 2022, the global defense market will expand, but Putin will be rated as the strongest carrier of F-35 by the United States.
In addition to "bringing goods" F35, does Putin have a boost to his own country?
On March 1, 2018, in a live broadcast speech facing the world, Putin spent a lot of space and effort to introduce the advanced equipment that Russia is proud of in as much detail as possible.
Global live streaming, which is one of the few opportunities to directly engage with the global market. This opportunity is very precious and very important for Russia's foreign military-industrial cooperation.
In the era of faster and faster information dissemination, the famous saying "the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys" has long lost its market. Businessmen who understand publicity, can publicize, and are good at grasping market pain points can often occupy the top spot in the industry.
In the live broadcast, Putin doesn't look like the leader of a country, but more like a military salesman with extremely skilled sales skills.
He introduced the "Dagger" to the hypersonic aviation missile complex, emphasizing the advantages of speed and long-range attack.
Offense and defense go hand in hand, and there is an offensive ** in this world, so naturally there will be a defensive system. When the performance of missiles is constantly optimized, the level of anti-missile systems will naturally be constantly optimized.
No matter how confident the ** developer is, I am afraid that he will not dare to say that the sharp spear in his hand can break through any solid shield in the world.
But Putin has the courage to do so, saying that he has complete confidence and trust in the "Dagger's" attack capability. He is confident that this aviation missile complex is capable of breaking through any of the existing air defense and anti-missile systems.
Dagger", which is also where Putin is proud. It has a range of up to 2000 kilometers and can fall anywhere within the range according to the operator's command.
Whether he was talking big or not, laymen can't accurately judge. But judging by his tone and demeanor, his words are very persuasive.
This is the most basic competency of a political leader in a country, and he needs to show absolute self-confidence in any public appearance he appears, so that his compatriots believe in him and support him.
When introducing the underwater vehicle "Poseidon", Putin again used the artistic talent of the Russians to describe this underwater equipment in quite vivid language.
In his mouth, "Poseidon" is not some terrible threat, but the crystallization of a fantastic Russian wisdom. The word "dream" gives the audience endless space for imagination, which is similar to blank space, but implies some kind of verbal guidance.
After listening to Putin's speech, it is difficult for those countries that are already interested in buying military equipment not to be tempted by Russia.
Putin's existence is in itself the best advertisement.
Four years ago, Turkey signed a contract with Russia for the purchase of S-400 missile systems worth about $2.5 billion.
This order was actually finalized as early as 2017, and in the following time, the two countries have been moving closer to each other.
For Turkey, Russian anti-aircraft missile systems can form a certain guarantee for their defense security. For Russia, the order money given by Turkey will become an important support for their fiscal revenue.
Military-industry cooperation is a process of taking what each side needs, and if the results of cooperation can satisfy both parties, then it is a win-win process.
Russia's predecessor, the Soviet Union, was already a major exporter. As the "eldest son", Russia will naturally consolidate its advantages as a major exporter of the military industry on the basis of its development history.
The military industry is linked to national defense security, which in turn is linked to wars and regional conflicts.
War, these are two words that make ordinary people smell and change. But those arms dealers were able to hide behind the war and fill their purses one by one. In the end, it is only the common people who are really suffering.
Therefore, war must be cautious, and peace is the main theme.
