As early as the defense exhibition was in progress, many media outlets broadcast the defense exhibition live. However, because the defense exhibition wasn't well known outside the circle, it didn't cause as much of a sensation as other product launches of Future Group.
However, on the same night, the official website of Future Group updated the video of the defense exhibition. The news panel of Future 1.0 also gave the defense exhibition a headline, and attached an external link to the video of Future Group's official website below the news. This defense exhibition immediately attracted the attention of the world.
The onlookers who didn't know the truth once again experienced the powerful technical strength of Future Military at a close distance.
"Oh my God, is this still war?"
"I originally planned to join the army, but now I've changed my mind and am considering emigrating."
"I quite agree with President Jiang's point of view! The future war will be the collision of steel bodies, and the participation of humans will only become less and less! "
"Drone cluster! I have to say that the technology of Future Group really shocked me. This is what the future war should look like in my mind. Using steel instead of flesh and blood to solve all disputes … although this is probably just a beautiful dream. "
"Drones plus kinetic skeletons equal an infantry squad? An attack group composed of 100 drones can easily crush a company-level combat unit? This is definitely impossible. As a cousin, I'm a veteran military nerd. Let me analyze how Future Military gave their drones a free pass without leaving a trace … "
…
The video released on Future Group's official website set off a lot of heated discussions around the world, but it did not affect the defense exhibition itself.
On the second day of the defense exhibition, Future Military reached an arms sale agreement with Hua and Russia for 200 "Crocodile" amphibious assault vehicles at a unit price of 7 million Xin New Dollars, and then sold 400 and 1,000 "Dart-1" tactical missiles to the South Colombian and Syrian government forces at a price of 400,000 Xin New Dollars.
For the Dart-1, Future Military positioned it as a short-range rapid attack missile, similar to the UA Tomahawk missile, but with a range of only 1,000 kilometers. Its advantage was that the Dart-1 was relatively small, could be deployed flexibly, and had amazing power. Scythe drones could replace infantry to guide airstrikes with an accuracy as high as 0.1 meters, and it was impossible to guard against.
Of course, there was the most critical point.
That was cheap.
The price of 400,000 Xin New dollars was less than half of the price of the Tomahawk missile. Even a poor Third World country wouldn't have a problem of not being able to afford it. They could consider this more cost-effective small missile in addition to the legendary 107 cannon.
Soon, it was the third day.
On the third day, the defense exhibition was not held at the Heart of the Sea, but at a temporary airport two kilometers away from the Heart of the Sea.
In order to ensure that the defense exhibition could proceed normally, Celestial Trade sent a battalion of Marine Corps soldiers to isolate the entire temporary airport. The representatives of various countries and the executives of the major arms companies arrived one after another, kicking off the third day of the defense exhibition.
Today was a special day for the Air Force.
Matteo walked to the closed door of the hangar, looked at the Leonardo Group logo printed on the iron door, and laughed.
"My dear Mr. Nicola, come and see our masterpiece."
As he spoke, he gestured to his assistant next to him.
The two of them quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the hangar.
The moment the door opened, a silver-white fighter jet with wings and body appeared in front of everyone.
His eyes widened in disbelief. At this moment, Nicola finally understood where Mr. Matteo's confidence came from.
He once saw the picture of this fighter jet in a top-secret file. If he remembered correctly, its name should be "Hurricane".
Unlike the "Hurricane" that the British created in World War II, the Italian word "Hurricane" was given more meaning, and this "Hurricane" fighter designed by the Leonardo Group was also given more historical significance.
At the end of the Second Moro-Country F War, the F35 and the Aurora-20 exchanged fire over City M, and the final result shocked everyone. The unscientific battle exchange ratio made the UA doubt their life. Immediately afterward, led by the UA, NATO countries introduced new research and development plans, trying to find a fighter that could regain air supremacy from the Aurora-20.
Leonardo Group was one of the European military industry groups entrusted with this important task.
After repeatedly studying the cases of the F35 and the Aurora-20 in the Moro-Country F War, they finally made a rather bold decision, which was to pour all the research and development funds into the development of the sixth-generation fighter and completely abandon the fifth-generation fighter market.
Only the sixth-generation fighter jet could restrain the Aurora-20!
As a piloted fighter jet, the qualities displayed by the Aurora-20 were already at the top of what the fifth-generation fighter could achieve. Even if it was difficult to accept, Matteo and other senior executives of Leonardo Group still clearly saw this point.
The sixth-generation fighter jet usually referred to hypersonic fighters controlled by artificial intelligence.
Compared with the fifth-generation fighter jet, the sixth-generation fighter jet, through the mobility of the sixth-generation aero engine and the design of the full-wing and fuselage fusion, had a good balance of maneuverability and stealth at various altitudes and postures. In particular, the unpiloted design allowed the sixth-generation fighter jet to complete maneuvers that were impossible for piloted fighters. Because there was a limit to the maximum acceleration that the pilot could withstand, but there was no such limit for the sixth-generation fighter jet.
Fortunately, in terms of the sixth-generation fighter jet, they were already ahead of the world.
Any fighter jet would be overshadowed by the "Uragano" with a cruising speed of up to Mach 5. This was Matteo's confidence.
"… But why are we taking it out?" Nicola gulped and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to sell it to the air force of another country?"
"Of course not." Matteo raised his eyebrows confidently and looked provocatively at the other side of the runway at the closed door of Future Military's hangar. "But if we don't give an appropriate warning to some people's arrogance, it is very likely that they will forget themselves and do something stupid."
"But …"
Seeing that Nicola was hesitant to speak, Matteo patted him on the shoulder and laughed. "You can rest assured that without the permission from NATO, I can't bring this fighter to the exhibition. In addition, deterring Celestial Trade is one thing, and advertising for our Typhoon fighters is another. As a businessman, in addition to fulfilling political obligations, making money is my original intention. I believe that after seeing the excellent performance of our sixth-generation fighter, the Indian brothers over there and the Middle Eastern tycoons over there will definitely pay for our Typhoon fighters. "
Nicola always felt that the president of Leonardo Group was a bit too confident, but when he thought of the description of the sixth-generation fighter in the document, he felt a little more relaxed.
Matteo patted Nicola on the shoulder, and the wrinkles in his eyes bloomed. He looked at the "Uragano" in the hangar and grinned.
"You can look forward to how many orders our 'Uragano' can bring us."
