China mulls buying Russian submarines | The Moscow Times
I think this is real point.
russian news.they are good businessmen.they know how to advertise their products.true or not ,this news will is good for them.the anti-China evils who cann't buy amarican weapens would be in a hurry for russians.
for us,it is nothing serious.if the Amur is really better than ours,buy and learn to build it.$2 billion is not a big number that we cann't afford.we have too much foreign exchange reserves,spending them is better than let them sleep in the warehouse.
In fact, Russian is not a good businessman, they are losing its customer!!
I think Russia are using China as brand spokesperson, but don't know whether Russia pay for these:
Russia: Hey, Friend, In my hand, there are a good weapon, Amur, do you have interest?
China: I know it, good weapon, but I have my 041, and 042 is coming, don't have spare money for it, sorry.
Russia: Oh, after last several big deals, SU-27, Sovremenny class destroyer, we don't do big deal, especially in recent years.
China: I also want to keep buying some weapon from you, I had sent the order, the arrestor, S-400, the vector engine, but you all deny these, and more, you sell much better weapon to India.
Russia: You copy the weapon without my permission.
China: You are expert, you know how hard to made weapon, you also believe these? whatever, for your support to our development of our defence, I have a idea, you can leak the fake news that China will buy four Amur-1650.
Russia: Can't understand it.
China: you are hypocritic, you have done such thing many times, because you promote our defence development much, so I don't mind these.
Russia: HEHE, Sorry, you have knew it! but last several times, it seems not work.
China: This time, maybe it will work, you know, now, India is lacking of submarine, but my advice, you should change your business manner, you delay indian carrier many times, do anyone can't tolerate these, and your after sale service is so bad, you should change these, or you will lose more business.
Russia: I know, but we are not good at these, Soviet Union also not good at these, we just inherit part not all Soviet Union, and now, we lack skilled worker for shipbuilding, we are training workers through the chance.
China: You are bad man.
Russia: Just so so, OK, I will go to publish the fake news as you advise, whatever, thank you very much,Bye.
China: Bye.
Russia: BTW, be frankly, T-50 have many problems, I do also not know whether it can meet the furture need, if T-50 fail, hope you can sell J-20 to us.
China: You are really bad man, If Indian know these, they will want to kill you, hehehe.....
Russia: They always want, they have no idea, but ontopic, could you consider my request.
China: I will, but if you can transfer your last engine technology, I can give you my decision now.
Russia: Oh, let me consider, OK, Bye.
China: Bye.
China Muttered to itself: want cheat me, no way, but its engine and submarine technology is good, he just live on past gains, what a pity.
