Chapter seven hundred and ninth exchange of interests
Interests are exchanged with each other. Pakistan shares the country's strategic weapons with China. Of course, China cannot fully enjoy its achievements, and it also has to pay something.
"We need submarine-launched ballistic missiles," Mhamad said. "We need your help to use this ballistic missile to be submarine-launched."
The trinity's nuclear strike force, including air, ground, and underwater. Among them, submarines carry ballistic missiles, cruising in the depths of the ocean at any time, ready to shoot a fatal blow at their opponents at any time. This is a common scene in the Cold War.
Pakistan naturally needs to maintain such strength. Now, with the output of China's technology, Pakistan has begun to build its own attack nuclear submarine. After the ballistic missile technology was exposed, the ballistic missile nuclear submarine was also put on the agenda by Mhamad.
If you rely on your own development, there will be many detours to go. For example, India in later generations has not been successful after so many years. As a result, a strange thing came out. It set up a firecracker platform behind its frigate to launch ballistic missiles, which is also the only one in the world.
Huaxia only mastered the technology of underwater launching ballistic missiles after many tests, and the Xia-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine developed by Huaxia itself has also entered service.
Pakistan provides its own ballistic missile technology and launch vehicles, while China helps Pakistan achieve its ability to launch submarine missiles, and the two sides are mutually beneficial.
"At the same time, I also hope that we can join forces with each other and carry out two new models of research." Mhamad said: "The first one is to increase the range. We hope to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers on the basis of this kind of missile. The second is to study the tactics of using our current ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers."
Ballistic missiles strike aircraft carriers!
In later generations, ballistic missiles have always been a topic that military fans talk about, with warheads with more than ten times the sound drop. They are definitely not intercepted by the Navy's Aegis system. Even the powerful tmd system is advertised, it cannot effectively intercept ballistic missiles. With just a small maneuverable orbital change, it can turn the interceptor into an uncontrolled rocket.
However, it is not easy for ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers. Also, due to the altitude, the warheads during the fall are difficult to receive external information. It doesn’t matter to strike fixed ground targets, but to strike moving targets, the aircraft carrier formation has long been transferred during the period of ballistic missile flight. Therefore, the warheads must receive new information and change the orbit during the flight to find the aircraft carrier formation locked before firing.
Moreover, high flight leads to a strong Doppler and thermal effect, which makes traditional anti-ship missile radar guide head locking devices such as the failure.
These are all kinds of technical problems and seem to be difficult to solve, so countless bricks claim that using ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers is purely nonsense.
As a result, in later generations, at the military parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the world's anti-fascist victory, China publicly announced that it had equipped two ballistic missiles to strike aircraft carriers! This was a brutal tailor-made for US aircraft carriers!
In this regard, the countermeasure given by the United States is that if it is attacked by such ballistic missiles in the war, it is equivalent to a nuclear attack! It will be subject to nuclear retaliation from the United States!
From this countermeasure, we can see that the US aircraft carrier formation is indeed useless to use such ballistic missiles that can attack aircraft carriers.
Thinking about later generations, the American aircraft carrier formation drove into the Taiwan Strait with great might, and the Great Sixth side did not respond. This gap in military strength forced China to endure it, so it had accumulated a lot of money.
Now, although Pakistan also has an aircraft carrier formation, its strength is still slightly insufficient in confrontation with the US aircraft carrier formation. Therefore, Mhamad has to adopt this alternative approach to study the plan of ballistic missiles to launch aircraft carriers.
China must also have interests in this regard, and the two sides can be said to hit it off.?
Sure enough, when he heard Mhamad's words, the Prime Minister immediately nodded: "It's totally OK, I agree with this!"
The United States' hegemony is based on a powerful aircraft carrier formation. China, as it has always faced military threats from the Soviet Union in six places, focuses on the 6th Army. The navy's strength is very weak and it is impossible to fight the United States in a comprehensive manner.
Now, the new plan proposed by Mhamad actually appeared in China, and it is also being argued in China to see if this plan is feasible. With Mhamad's proposal, the joint development of both sides is a good choice!
Aircraft carrier, in fact, if you really fight against the opponent's aircraft carrier, you must have the same aircraft carrier power!
Thinking of this, the Prime Minister sighed: "It would be great if our country also had aircraft carriers. Pakistan's progress has made us look at it with admiration."
Pakistan is already building their own aircraft carriers, and now even catapults are available. The entire aircraft carrier is in the outfit stage from the end of this year to next year, and will be launched into the water.
China still has a lot of ways to go. In addition to learning a lot of experience in manufacturing in Pakistan, China's temporary aircraft carrier is just a dream.
Historically, China has been pursuing aircraft carriers tirelessly. It purchased retired aircraft carriers from Australia and other countries and studied them. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, three Kiev-class ships were dismantled in China and gained some experience. The most important thing is to buy the empty-shelled Varyag. After floating in the dock for nearly ten years, under the technological transformation of China, it was completely renewed and joined the Chinese Navy and became the first ship in China.
But now, history has changed. The Soviet Union has not yet disintegrated. Those aircraft carriers are still in the hands of the Soviet Navy. China has only obtained one ship Melbourne for research. The rest are technology obtained from the Pakistani Navy.
I don’t know when the Chinese Navy will have a fixed-wing aviation formation!
"If you are anxious, we can sell one of our aircraft carriers to your country at a low price," said Mhamad.
Selling it to your own side? The Prime Minister was stunned. The Endeavour in Pakistan is a treasure, how could he be sold to China?
"Our Fearless Ship, which has a displacement of 30,000 tons, can be sold to you for $250 million," said Mhamad.
Fearless? When did the aircraft carrier Fearless appear in Pakistan's naval sequence? The Prime Minister was still puzzled. Then, he heard the words of the Ministry of Defense officials who came with him and realized it.
"It was the Virat, the Indian Navy that Pakistan captured last time when it attacked Kolkata." The person next to him whispered, his eyes full of longing.
After being captured by Pakistan, the USS Virat participated in the battle of Visakhapatnam and temporarily acted as an amphibious assault ship. However, during operation, the Pakistani Navy still found that the aircraft carrier was too poor in its performance.
The jump deck caused the front deck to be inclined, unable to store more aircraft, and the volume under the hangar was also limited, which was very troublesome to operate. It was not as cost-effective as Pakistan started construction of an amphibious assault ship itself.
As for acting as an aircraft carrier, there is no need to mention that Pakistan has long analyzed that the displacement of only more than 50,000 tons will have a better cost-effectiveness ratio. Pakistan is currently the size of two aircraft carriers. If construction starts again in the future, the displacement of the aircraft carrier will be relaxed to 70,000 tons.
Under this circumstance, this aircraft carrier, which has been named "Defaultless" by Pakistan, has become useless. Now, since China has expressed its intention to want an aircraft carrier, it is better to sell this aircraft carrier to China!
Although this was seized by Pakistan and the two sides had a good friendship, after all, Pakistan invested a lot of military expenditure against Kolkata, and it was impossible to give it to China for free. 250 million US dollars, which sounds very expensive, but is actually not expensive. You should know that in later generations, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China purchased two Hyundai class destroyers with a displacement of 7,000 tons from the Soviet Union, which cost 1 billion US dollars! Pakistan sold the aircraft carrier to China for only half of the Hyundai class, which was considered half-sold and half-sold.
"This aircraft carrier seems to be able to take off and land sea harriers, right?" asked an official from the Ministry of National Defense who followed the Prime Minister.
China does not have Sea Harrier, and it is not intended to introduce such combat cocks that look beautiful but are actually very fucked. If it can only be equipped with Sea Harrier, then it will be useless to buy it from China.
"Of course not. This aircraft carrier can still take off and land Tomcat fighter jets." Mhamad said: "The British had conducted experiments more than ten years ago."
The original displacement of Endeavour was only more than 30,000 tons. After improvement, the displacement increased to more than 40,000 tons and could operate the Tomcat fighter. Therefore, the Fearless, with a displacement of 30,000 tons, can take off and land the Tomcat fighter.
That year, after the aircraft carrier that took off with a ski jump, the British conducted experiments. The US Navy's Tomcat fighter jets could take off with a ski jump deck!
But the Tomcats were too expensive at that time, and the British were extremely proud of their Sea Harrier. In addition, the hangar below was originally designed for the Sea Harrier. If the Tomcat fighter was operated, the number of operations would be reduced. Therefore, the British finally chose their Sea Harrier carrier-based aircraft. As a result, in the Battle of the Cavaliers, the "strong" combat capabilities of this fighter were thoroughly proved. The British summarized their experience and the new aircraft carriers came to the conventional plan.
