Chapter 716 Joint Attack Munitions
All support! Although it is paid, it is also very important to the United States!
Hearing this, Baker asked: "What if we ask to continue to garrison troops in Port Guadal and continue to use the air base?"
"You can agree." said Mhamad, "it's fine according to the original rent."
"What if we ask Pakistan to help us convince other Middle Eastern countries to organize the joint army again?"
"It's totally possible. We will do our best, but the anti-US sentiment in the Middle East is high. How many troops can be organized depends on your efforts." Mhamad said. If you want to reorganize the joint army, Pakistan can supervise it, but in the end, it still depends on real interests. Only when the United States is willing to invest a lot can you gain something.
"We also need a fast-transporting equipment," Baker said. "Your side put in a new vehicle in the last battle of Visakhapatnam, which is quite efficient, and we want to have this equipment."
This is also one of the main purpose of this trip. If you want to quickly transport troops from Pakistan to the front line, this ground-effect aircraft is the most suitable choice. This is already a strategic vehicle. Just like the American-5 transport aircraft, will Pakistan be confused?
Hearing Baker's words, Mhamad said: "You are talking about our Kitty Hawk-level ground-effect aircraft, right? If you need it, we can help you transport it."
This aircraft was eventually named Kitty Hawk, which is different from the Soviet Kitty Hawk, which is a large ground-effect aircraft.
If Americans want to rent, they must be operated by Pakistani personnel. The United States only needs to pay the rent. Americans want to obtain all the technology and make it in large quantities on their own, Mhamad refused.
Baker was very happy to hear Mhamad agree to let the US use the aircraft, and continued: "We need to be able to deliver a division's ground-effect aircraft at one time, at least one hundred."
Deliver one division at a time? If Pakistan can really send troops so quickly, then what are the Indians waiting to take the bait and directly equip all the equipment with ground-effect aircraft and transport it to India's east coast to land!
"Sorry. We don't have so many Kitty Hawk-level ground-effect aircraft." Mhamad said: "We only have ten now, but you don't need too many. It only takes two hours to get from our Port Guadal to Kuwait. Within one day, we can deliver equipment and personnel from a division."
Last time in Visakhapatnam, the ground-effect aircraft had a good effect and quickly transported heavy equipment to India's land. The effectiveness of this aircraft was verified. Therefore, under the instructions of Mhamad, several more aircraft were started to be built, reaching a scale of more than ten aircraft. It is still possible to rent the ten aircraft to the Americans to help them transport weapons and equipment.
This kind of ground-effect aircraft still has its disadvantages. Its safety is still not guaranteed under high sea conditions. It is even more impossible to achieve transportation across the ocean. Once it encounters a storm, it is easy to overturn. The Persian Gulf has always been calm, so transporting from here to Kuwait is the most suitable.
Cross? The number is a little small. However, Pakistan can provide the United States with all the goals that Baker had when he came. However, the concessions the United States needs to make are also huge. Supporting Pakistan's war against India is definitely contrary to the United States' South Asian strategy. Baker knew that after returning, the president would probably be in trouble again, and this choice was too difficult.
Unexpectedly, Mhamad brought him new surprises. After saying this, Mhamad continued: "Our Pakistani military-industrial enterprise has developed a new precision-guided munition. As long as the target coordinates are input and thrown over the target, it can accurately hit the target. It is cheap, only half of the same laser-guided bomb. If you need it, we Pakistan can sell it to you at the most affordable price."
Precision-guided munitions? The United States has always advocated high-tech wars. Most of the bombs dropped by the Air Force are precision-guided weapons, such as laser-guided bombs and infrared imaging missiles. Unfortunately, the cost is not low. Every time you fight, you are making money! When did Pakistan also have precision-guided bombs?
During this Gulf War, the United States threw about 30,000 bombs, including 5,000 precision-guided bombs, which destroyed targets accounting for 98% of the total target. It can be seen that the power of precision-guided bombs is very expensive. The US desire merchant has restarted construction and manufactured new precision-guided bombs at full speed, but it is still not available to the US military. If Pakistan can also provide precision-guided weapons and the price is still cheap, it would be great!
But can Pakistan's technology be more advanced than the United States?
Looking at Baker's suspicion, Mhamad smiled proudly: "Our weapon has a maximum throwing distance of more than 24 kilometers at high altitude, with day/night, all-weather, outside the defense zone, regardless of the projection, the excellent characteristics of multi-target attack ability and hit accuracy are at least fifteen meters. If you have any needs, you can send someone to Pakistan for field investigation. After seeing our bomb test, it is not too late to place an order."
Selling the weapons he made to Americans and making money from Americans is the main positioning of Pakistan in this US attack on Iraq.
In the Iraq-Iraq War, China became an arms dealer and provided a large number of weapons to both sides, making a fortune. Now, when the United States attacked Iraq, Mhamad replaced China and provided weapons to both sides and let them fight!
In fact, the principle of this kind of Pakistan's self-produced joint attack ammunition is quite simple. It is just an ordinary bomb with improved inertial navigation and GPS reception terminals. The cost is of course low!
At this time, the United States mainly used laser-guided bombs and infrared imaging-guided bombs, and the cost of these weapons was relatively high. In later generations, the United States began to study low-cost precision-guided weapons after the Gulf War, and only began to use the United States' joint attack ammunition during the Kosovo War in 1999. Now, the Gulf War has been ruined, and the Americans have not yet begun to install GPS receivers on bombs. It is completely unique to Pakistan.
Even after Pakistan exported it, the United States discovered the secret and began to make a lot of it. At least Pakistan has gained the opportunity to sell tens of thousands of pieces to Americans at one time!
"Okay, after I go back, I will immediately urge the Air Force to send someone to inspect." Baker said.
Regardless of whether other aspects can be achieved, at least a batch of precision-guided weapons can be purchased from Pakistan at a low price. In the case of US fees that have long been severely overspent, these weapons are a timely help for the United States. No matter the eyes of domestic arms dealers, the United States only has the lowest purchase cost!
When American instructors teach their students, they often say, remember that the weapons in your hands are produced by manufacturers with the lowest bidding price!
"If you need it, we can also send our air defense missile troops to join us to conduct field air defense," Mhamad said. "Our air defense missiles also have the ability to intercept Scud missiles. However, if these troops are deployed, the cost is very high."
What is a friend? Only like Pakistan is a true friend. After the United States puts on airs and teaches Pakistan a lesson, Pakistan is still loyal to the United States. Even their air defense missile forces can be sent out to follow along!
In the last Gulf War, the insufficiency of Patriot missiles intercepted the Americans. If it weren't for the inspiration of the military, they would still publicize how high the interception efficiency the Patriots had, the US Army would have long sued Thor to fool the army, and had so many soldiers killed and injured, Thor should have gone to hell!
In contrast, Pakistan's air defense missiles are silent, but Americans are a little envious.
In the last Gulf War, the United States deployed all Patriot missiles to its own military camps to protect its own army. Saudi Arabia also faced the danger of attacking Iraq's Scud missiles. Therefore, Pakistan sent two air defense missile brigades, one guarding around the Saudi capital Riyadh, and the other advancing with the army.
Just after the war began, several missiles also flew towards Riyadh, Pakistan's air defense missiles, launched sixteen, accurately shot down eight of the incoming missiles, and the interception efficiency was almost 100%!
From the outside, Pakistan's air defense missiles seem to be like Patriots. Raytheon once complained that Pakistan copied their Patriot missiles. However, now it seems that the effectiveness of Pakistan's air defense missiles is far superior to that of Raytheon's Patriot missiles! Pakistan's progress in national defense technology is really huge!
The inside story, of course, only the Pakistani military knows that the difficulty of intercepting ballistic missiles is quite high, and even the United States cannot achieve 100% interception. Pakistan's technology cannot be much higher. The last time it was successfully intercepted was of course a long time ago! Those guidance systems modified by Pakistani technicians used civilian chips. Pakistan had already started high-power jammers to interfere with the operation of these civilian chips. In this way, when the intercepting missiles were hit, some could hit, and some failed hit, and were also interfered to other places.
