Israel, on the surface, is brothers with our country, but behind the scenes, colluded with the United States and gave India a "big gift", which seriously endangered our country's national interests.

In today's international world, "peace and development" is the main theme of the times, so the relationship between countries is particularly important. Since the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence was published in 1953, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country has always adhered to the diplomatic concept of "peace is the most important".

Our country has shown its friendly attitude, so more and more countries have established close diplomatic relations with our country. However, not every country cherishes this relationship with our country, and some even commit treason.

Israel, on the surface, is brothers with our country, but behind the scenes, colluded with the United States and gave India a "big gift", which seriously endangered our country's national interests.

Originally, my country's relationship with Israel was still very friendly, but after experiencing Israel's treason, it is now in a relationship similar to a stranger. So what did Israel do back then? What is the ins and outs of things? What is the gift from Israel to India?

Establish diplomatic relations in China and Israel, saying that it is brother and brother

In 1992, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country issued a document saying: "my country and Israel have formally established diplomatic relations."

In fact, as early as 1950, the two sides began negotiations on diplomatic establishment. Due to the constraints of the situation in the Middle East and third-party relations, the two countries did not officially establish diplomatic relations until 1992. Therefore, this diplomatic establishment is also called "the establishment of diplomatic relations for 42 years in the past."

In the early days of the establishment of diplomatic relations, my country attached great importance to this relationship and carried out cooperation with Israel in many fields such as military, commerce, and agriculture. The people of our country even called Israel "brother country".

Review of the journey of establishing diplomatic relations in the review is undoubtedly difficult and ups and downs, and has gone through ups and downs. First, in 1950, Israel recognized the People's Republic of China and became the first country in the Middle East to recognize the new China regime, and released goodwill to our country.

Immediately afterwards, the Korean War broke out in 1951. Due to the United States' hostility to China, Israel terminated negotiations with my country, and relations between the two countries once fell to freezing point.

In 1978, the Middle East Peace Conference was held, and the representatives of China and Israeli countries to United Nations met for the first time after the relationship was frozen. Finally, in 1992, with the joint efforts of both sides, China and Israel formally established diplomatic relations. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Israel, my country showed full sincerity: on the one hand, my country recognized the legitimacy of Israel in the Middle East. You should know that in the past, under the influence of Cold War thinking , our country followed the footsteps of the Soviet Union and always determined that the Israeli government was "illegal". After experiencing drastic changes in Eastern Europe in 1989, my country announced its recognition of Israel. As a major country with great influence in Asia, our country's recognition can undoubtedly be regarded as a "big gift" and was a "timely help" to Israel at that time.

On the other hand, my country has accumulated a certain amount of wealth through its own years of development, while Israel just lacks funds. Therefore, our country has purchased a large number of Israeli export products and sent funds to help the Israeli side.

Of course, Israel has also made some responses, such as strengthening trade with my country and exporting some high-tech products and new technologies to my country.

For a moment, the two sides had frequent trade exchanges, and it seemed that the relationship had made a qualitative leap. Even at that time, there was a saying circulating on the Internet in my country: "Israel is our 'iron buddy', and the relationship between the two sides is as close as brothers."

However, at present, the relationship between the two countries has long been dull, and the saying "Iron" is no longer circulated on the Internet. The point of all this is that in 1994, China purchased the early warning machine from Israel, and Israel unilaterally tore up the contract.

negotiated transactions and signed an agreement

In 1994, my country and Israel signed an agreement: they would purchase 4 Felcon early warning aircraft from Israel and paid a deposit of 190 million US dollars.

Originally, this was the best of both worlds. Israel received a lot of money, and my country's military strength was improved. But our country never expected that this incident will not only fail to achieve a win-win situation, but instead there is a crack in the friendly relations between the two countries.

First of all, we need to understand what an "early warning aircraft" is and understand its strategic significance.The so-called "early warning aircraft" refers to an reconnaissance aircraft equipped with advanced radar systems, which can search and monitor enemy targets and guide their own aircraft to fight.

Its importance seems self-evident. Some people even say this: "If there is an early warning aircraft with advanced technology, even if the number of aircraft is only half of the enemy's army, it can still win."

1991, in the Gulf War between many countries led by the United States and Iraq , its new combat mode attracted global attention, especially the application of early warning aircraft, which made Iraq, which had a strong military force at that time, become a "blind man".

Iraq's fighter planes were "black" as soon as they flew into the sky, and ended up being isolated and helpless, and ultimately could not escape the fate of being shot down.

This sounded the alarm for a major country in the East - if it were us, in the face of such an advanced early warning aircraft, could we have the power of to fight ? The answer is no, because our air force is still a traditional air force and relies heavily on ground command. Without considering the nuclear weapon , it can be said to be a "large Iraq".

plus there were many examples of early warning aircraft used on the battlefield in the international arena at that time. my country keenly realized the strategic significance of early warning aircraft, so it planned to equip our army with high-performance early warning aircraft.

It’s a pity that our country was not rich at that time, and its scientific research strength was not satisfactory. Independent development of early warning aircraft was tantamount to building a "castle in the air". Therefore, our country has turned its attention abroad and hopes to purchase several advanced early warning aircraft. After selecting

, the Felcon-type early warning machine independently developed by Israel came into our eyes. There are three reasons: First, Western countries led by the United States have implemented a technological blockade on my country and are unwilling to export high-tech products to my country.

Second, my country is currently having good relationships with Israel, and I want to buy things more smoothly; of course, the most important thing is that this early warning machine has strong performance and can be regarded as the top international standard.

Third, the air warning capability of the Felcon early warning aircraft can be comparable to that of the E-3 early warning aircraft in the United States at that time, and in some aspects it is even better than the E-3, and the price is nearly two-thirds less.

So, in 1996, our country sent representatives to Israel. After consultation, our country first went to military base to visit the Felcon early warning aircraft, understood its performance and expressed satisfaction.

Then our representative and Israeli representative signed a contract: he decided to purchase three early warning aircraft from the Israeli side for a price of US$250 million each.

is a sign of sincerity. At that time, my country, which was not well-funded at that time, gradually increased revenue and reduced expenditure from all aspects, and paid Israel a deposit of US$190 million.

However, the subsequent actions of the Israeli government ultimately failed our country's sincerity.

colluded with the United States to terminate the transaction

April 1999, less than 8 months before the delivery time agreed by Israel, the United States suddenly claimed that the Felcon early warning machine used American technology and the United States has the right to block the transaction.

You should know that my country has always purchased early warning machines without hiding the United States, so how did the news leak?

What is even more infuriating is that Israel later obeyed the United States, unilaterally tore up the contract, and detained the early warning aircraft originally exported to my country!

It turns out that Israel is a brother to our country on the list, and it is also very happy about me purchasing the early warning aircraft, but behind the scenes of the United States, revealing the inside story of the transaction between the two countries clearly.

In this way, the United States knew that my country would never allow it to strengthen its military strength, so it asked Israel to terminate the transaction. In order to achieve its goal, the United States also promised to give Israel a "benefit fee" after termination of the transaction.

In fact, Israel lacked financial development at that time, and the behavior of seeking foreign financial aid was beyond refutation. However, if funds are obtained by breach of trust and breaking the contract, then this money can only be regarded as ill-gotten gain. Soon our country discovered that in order to gain the support of the United States, Israel refused to continue to recognize the contract, and the purchase of early warning aircraft from Israel was naturally ruined.

In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country strongly condemned the Israeli government's treason and said that "this move undermined the friendly relations between the two countries." Since then, our country has increased its defense against Israel.

It has to be said that Israel’s breach of the contract this time has brought considerable losses to our country. On the one hand, since my country signed a contract three years ago and wanted to equip the Air Force with the Felcon early warning aircraft, my country has not strengthened its research on early warning aircraft in recent years.

Israel's move has made our country missed several years of research on early warning aircraft.

On the other hand, my country has specially built a flight site and cultivated corresponding pilot talents. Israel suddenly announced that it would not sell early warning aircraft to our country, which would be equivalent to a large amount of money invested "waste".

However, Israel paid the price for their breach of trust - because they unilaterally tore up the contract, they had to refund a deposit of US$190 million and compensate for the liquidated damages. Moreover, because of this, Israel has gained a reputation as "broken trust" in the international community, and its international influence has been greatly frustrated.

Obviously, between our country and the United States, Israel chose the United States. In fact, if this is the case, the Israeli government's actions can only be regarded as traitor, and it cannot be said to be abstaining from justice.

The behavior that makes our country see Israel's true face is a great gift to India.

And this gift is these three early warning aircraft. Israel's move can be said to be "striking the wrong" and did not regard our country as a brother country at all. This incident greatly deepened the harm to our country.

betrayal and give gifts to India

In 2001, Israel sold three early warning aircraft originally exported to my country to India for US$1.1 billion. India is a country with relatively backward military weapons research. It is worth it to have such an advanced early warning aircraft no matter how expensive it is.

Therefore, this transaction is undoubtedly a big gift for India, but it is not very friendly to our country.

It turns out that this transaction was conducted under the instruction of the United States, and its purpose is to check and balance our country. India is our neighbor, and in history there have been wars with our country over border disputes. The relationship between the two countries has always been not very friendly and guarded against each other.

As the saying goes, "The enemy becomes stronger and weakens yourself in disguise."

Israel sold this new early warning aircraft to India, greatly increasing India's threat to our territory and weakening our national defense security in disguise. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the "wolf ambition" contained in the US's move.

Obviously, in the face of the United States' inducement, Israel did not adhere to the most basic spirit of contract. It was obvious that the contract signed was turned into a piece of empty text, but instead made India cheaper.

This "gift gift event" is undoubtedly a crack in the relationship between Israel and my country, and since then the relationship between the two countries has gradually become ordinary. Israel's betrayal has caused trouble to our country, but it has also strengthened our country's belief in independently developing early warning aircraft.

Under the call of the country, many scientific researchers have been working hard and finally achieved the success of our early warning aircraft from nothing to something, from something to something, and finally surpassed the US early warning aircraft and created a Chinese miracle.

In 2004, my country's " KJ 200" was launched, realizing the first flight of domestic early warning aircraft. This can be said to be a moment of pride in the face of Western technological blockade.

In 2007, the successful development of "KJV 2000" was adopted in terms of core technology, and the overall performance was only slightly lost, but it overtook in some aspects.

In 2014, the " Air Guard 500" was officially put into service. It used digital array radar as its core technology and successfully overtaken the United States and Israel. It can be said to be "from behind"!

"Kilo War 500" is a reflection of the wisdom and hard work of the Chinese people. It also cleansed up the shame of Israel's unilateral breach of the contract back then, and attracted the attention of the international community.Who can believe that China has made a breakthrough from 0 to 1 just 15 years after the Felcon early warning aircraft incident that year.

Conclusion

Our country's ancestors Mozi once said: "Integrity is the knot of the world." That is, being honest is the principle of all behaviors in the world. Our ancestors realized the importance of "integrity" from a very early age. Our country is also based on integrity, and "integrity" has always been deeply rooted in the bones of the Chinese people and is firmly engraved in the genes of the Chinese nation.

In the purchase of early warning aircraft, it was obvious that the Israeli government had lost its most basic contract spirit when it saw profit. Such behaviors will be disheartening when happening between people, let alone between countries! Therefore, the relationship between my country and Israel has always been in a state of being neither salty nor weak.

But from another perspective, we must learn from history, and the actions of the Israeli government also always remind us: "Developing ourselves is the hard truth."

If we had enough strength back then and could independently develop early warning aircraft, how could we be "betrayed"? As the saying goes, "Give yourself a mistake and gain wisdom." We must draw a steady stream of nutrients from history, so that the country's strength can become stronger and stronger!
