Chapter 287 Do you want M-7 C802 Catamaran Missile Boat?
"Taozi, we still have some problems with this project."
"explain."
"Well, let's go to my office."
"so troublesome."
Seeing Qin Tao talking to Wu Shengli like this, everyone around him sighed with emotion. The relationship between this son-in-law and his father-in-law is really extraordinary!
"Taozi, you will take the lead this time. After all, you are the one who designed the missile boat and produced it at your place. This business is also negotiated by you. However, this brother has settled the score..."
"Settling accounts? By the way, Dad, when I proposed it, I planned to invest the money earned in the research and development of the J-31." Qin Tao said: "The Navy has made money, so it won't embezzle it, right? ?”
The navy is poor and lacks money no matter what it does. Therefore, Qin Tao is very doubtful that when the money is available, how much will be devoted to the vertical take-off and landing fighter project.
Wu Shengli's face became embarrassed.
"Well, of course it's mainly focused on the research and development of the J-31..."
"Then we will transfer the money directly to the account of the Jian 31 Project Project, and it will be used exclusively for this purpose."
"No, there are no such rules, Tao Zi, don't make mistakes." Wu Shengli's face became serious: "There are no rules, there is no rule. Even if you earn the money, it is not your turn to ask how to spend it. You Don’t think that you can do whatever you want with me as your father-in-law.”
"Then...I'm still very busy at the shipyard. I'm going to leave this arduous task to others?"
"You!" Wu Shengli glanced at his son-in-law with dissatisfaction: "We can guarantee that at least half of the funds will be used for the J-31 project."
"Half? This ratio, but you said it?"
"That's right, if you can earn 100 million for half of the funding, you can share 50 million."
"What if it's one billion?"
"That's impossible."
"I also think it's a bit difficult, but I should be able to earn 500 million."
"Five hundred million? Okay, as long as this project earns us five hundred million, the remaining profits will go to your Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group!" The issue of dividing the spoils, no, the distribution of benefits has been settled.
Qin Tao came out of Wu Shengli's office with a smile and looked at Zhao Ling who was waiting outside: "Xiao Ling, it's your turn to play next. Are you nervous?"
"Why am I nervous? I have seen those uncles and uncles since I was a child." Zhao Ling said.
I don’t know whether it was to train Zhao Ling or whether Mr. Zhang was really unavailable. In short, only Zhao Ling came back to report to everyone.
Zhao Ling is not nervous.
In the conference room, under the light of the projector, Zhao Ling's report began.
"At present, all the imitation work has been completed. Among them, the top three-coordinate scanning radar and the target illumination radar are provided by brother units. We have already manufactured all other electronic equipment, missiles and launchers. Next, we The Navy is required to provide a frigate to complete modifications and experiments.”
Zhao Ling spoke eloquently and gracefully, and she really didn't feel nervous at all.
"Currently, we plan to make some improvements, such as changing its traditional semi-active radar continuous wave irradiation to intermittent irradiation. This will reduce the number of irradiating radars and have more target attack capabilities. If progress is made, If everything goes well, this system will be applied when the ship is installed.”
Changes are still necessary. After all, what was said at the beginning was to not delay the progress of the imitation, so it will be carried out as it is. Now, the imitation has ended, and the improvement work will be carried out in an orderly manner!
Semi-active missiles need to continuously receive radar waves reflected by the target in order to continue flying until they hit the target. In this way, before the target is shot down, the target cannot move when illuminated by the radar. The actual interception fire channel is completely determined by the target illumination. If the number of radars is changed to intermittent irradiation, then the same target irradiation radar can take care of more than two targets.
This method can increase the number of intercepted targets and give warships more ability to resist saturation attacks. Therefore, it is the focus of their next stage of improvement.
Qin Tao sat aside and attended the meeting, sighing in his heart that his wife is also such a woman! Maybe he can grow into an anti-aircraft missile master in the future.
After the report was completed, everyone discussed it, and a resolution was formed, the meeting was considered completed.
A leader presiding over the meeting glanced at Qin Tao and then said, "I wonder if Mr. Qin has anything to add?"
"I won't interrupt." Qin Tao said: "It's just that we have completed all the design work of the air defense frigate. If there are no problems with the sea test launch of the Hongqi-16 missile, then we look forward to the Navy starting bidding as soon as possible. ”
The development of an anti-aircraft missile requires many difficulties and obstacles. Just look at the experience of the Hongqi-61. After it was developed, it was tested on warships for many years. However, the Hongqi-16 is completely Keely's imitations have already withstood various tests, so there won't be any big problems with the imitations.
Now that test firings have begun, of course the Navy should place an order.
"Yes, once Mr. Qin succeeds this time and brings back enough funds, our navy's new air defense frigate will be invited to bid."
Wu Shengli's words reminded Qin Tao that although only half of the funds are spent on the vertical take-off and landing fighter project, the Navy will not spend money randomly. Your Mingzhou Shipyard still has a share of the other half of the money!
Qin Tao smiled. If he brought back enough money, could he also buy back the two modern-class ships? The price has been negotiated, but the superior doesn’t approve it! Not that much money. .
Just when Qin Tao wanted to mention this project, someone below said with emotion: "With the release of this new type of air defense frigate, our navy's air defense problem will be greatly alleviated. Whether it is Sea Sidewinder or Hongqi 61, the performance This kind of missile is far behind. In the past, we considered putting the Hongqi-2 missile on the ship, but now the Hongqi-2 missile has been retired. "
Things are different and people are different, which makes people sigh.
"By the way, I heard that the Second Academy has transformed the Hongqi-2 missile into a surface-to-surface missile. It's really creative."
"Has the transformation come out?" Qin Tao was excited for a while. When he was chatting with Mr. Wu, he had made this suggestion, but he didn't expect it to come out so quickly. (The protagonist seems to be obsessed with himself. It seems like this project started in 1986?)
"Yeah, it's out."
"Then this arms sale cannot be without them. Everyone, can you invite them to come over and discuss it together?"
That afternoon.
Mr. Wu and Mr. Shen walked in together. When he saw Qin Tao, Mr. Wu smiled: "Mr. Qin, we have made the M-7 missile. The person in charge of the project is Lao Shen. I remember you said that if you tinker with it, you’ll be responsible for selling it.”
"That's right." Qin Tao said without the slightest excuse: "I came to you to discuss selling this missile. You must prepare a missile system and we will take it with you to demonstrate to our customers."
Prepare a missile system?
Wu Shengli was stunned at the side: "Taozi, do you want to bring something with you?"
"That's right." Qin Tao smiled: "How can the customer place an order without showing it to the customer? Our navy needs help to dispatch an IL-76 transport aircraft. Start from our side, fly west, and pass If you go around Lao Ba’s airspace, you can reach the country of Parthia.”
Qin Tao is really rude to use things from the Navy. However, if it weren’t for Qin Tao’s help, the Navy would not have been able to obtain the IL-76 and IL-78. Now, although the number of these aircraft is small, they are absolutely It is the main force of the navy!
A naval aviation base.
The huge IL-76 transport aircraft stood majestically on the tarmac. Its huge body and tall vertical tail looked so spectacular. At this time, the tail hatch had been opened and flipped to the ground, forming a shape with the ground. A stable slope.
An M-7 missile launch preparation vehicle drove up first. On the floor of the cargo compartment, there were special devices to secure the vehicle properly. Then, it was time to launch the missile vehicle.
At this time, everyone was a little nervous. In terms of weight, this 6*6 military off-road truck, including the equipment on it, is less than ten tons. It can fit four of them properly. However, this is still It depends on the volume inside. The IL-76's cargo compartment is only a little over thirty meters long. Can all vehicles be loaded?
"First put the radar and fire control vehicle of the C-802 missile in." Qin Tao said.
If you really can't fit it into the launch vehicle in the end, just hoist the launch tube from the launch vehicle directly into it.
Amid the roar of the engine, the second vehicle climbed up, and the space left behind was indeed not enough for the remaining two launch vehicles.
"Does our Hongqi-2 missile have a launch trailer?" Qin Tao asked.
Mr. Liang nodded: "It seems that we can only get on the trailer. These launchers are universal, so let's sacrifice them."
The trailer occupies a much smaller area. After the trailer went up, the last C802 shore-to-ship missile launcher also drove up, and various suitcases were also moved up. The cargo hold was full.
"It seems pretty good." Qin Tao nodded with satisfaction: "Next, let's go up."
On both sides of the cargo bay, there are flip-up seats, just like the seats in movie theaters in the 1960s. It's certainly uncomfortable when traveling long distances, but it's much better than sitting on the floor.
Qin Tao looked at the other people around him: "After you get up, be sure to fasten your seat belt. It is said that once, when this kind of aircraft was flying in the sky, the tail hatch automatically opened, and more than a hundred people inside were all trapped. They were sucked outside. Fortunately, those guys were paratroopers and all had umbrellas with them.”
After going up to the sky, the air outside is thin and the cabin is pressurized, so the pressure inside is higher than outside. You can see it from watching those movies about air crashes. When the glass breaks, people are sucked out directly.
Hearing what Qin Tao said, the technicians accompanying him went to look for seat belts.
"By the way, do you want to be convenient? It's better to go down there in advance. If anyone has physiological needs in mid-air, he has to hold them in. If he makes the warehouse smelly, I will kick him down."
Everyone laughed.
Wu Shengli and other leaders walked into the cabin.
"Thank you for your hard work. This mission is very important. I look forward to your good news!"
“It’s pretty good to have a special plane to ride on.”
"With Mr. Qin taking us, there will be no problem."
"By the way, where will Mr. Qin sit?"
The guys want to find a good seat for Qin Tao.
"Me? It's too stuffy in the cabin. I'm going to find a place to sit with a window."
A place with windows? Everyone was a little curious: "Mr. Qin, can you fly a plane?"
In the entire aircraft, the cockpit is the one with windows! However, everyone in the cockpit has a mission. If Qin Tao wants to go, he must be a crew member.
Qin Tao smiled: "Of course not. I won't go to the cockpit either. It's too crowded there. I'll go to the back."
Unlike other transport aircraft, the IL-76 transport aircraft has a crew cabin under the tall vertical tail, and under its feet are two twin 23mm cannons!
In modern warfare, the role of aircraft cannons is minimal. After all, if there are no fighter jets chasing after them and attacking with aerial cannons, the incoming missiles must be missiles, and it is impossible for aircraft cannons to intercept the missiles.
Therefore, the later Il-76 eliminated the tail gunner in the improvement and installed a special guard defense system. However, for the modified IL-78 aerial tanker, this position is the best position for aerial refueling observers. They can observe the aerial refueling situation here and even conduct command when necessary.
The cabin is too stuffy, so the seat at the back is better!
Since it was performing ordinary transportation tasks, there was no need for the tail gunner to exist at all. Qin Tao was sitting here with windows on three sides and a wide field of vision. He was very satisfied.
The Il-76 transport plane took off and flew on a normal civil air route. It first reached the plateau and then reached the airspace of Laoba. It entered the airspace of Parthia from the northwest corner of Laoba's land.
When they crossed the final border, two Parthian Tomcat fighter jets flew over to greet them.
In the small tail gunner's cabin, Qin Tao watched with great interest. The Tomcat fighter jet was once the overlord of the sky!
The exterior design of the fuselage is smooth. The wide fuselage, the wing box like a slat, and the two engines separated by a full meter, all reveal the dashing and heroic appearance of the Tomcat fighter, especially when it is head-on. After flying up, it turned around in the air. The wings turned forward from the maximum sweep angle, just like a Transformer, which was pleasing to the eye.
Qin Tao's familiarity with this fighter plane comes from the movie "Top Gun". Although he can't escape the cliché love, the flying scenes in it are definitely worth talking about.
In the world, apart from the U.S. Navy, only the Parthian Air Force was equipped with this fighter jet. Even in later generations, all the Tomcat fighters of the U.S. Navy were eliminated, and the Parthian State still maintained the operation of its Tomcat fighter fleet.
Due to the lack of enough parts, the scale of the once seventy or eighty aircraft has been reduced to a state where a dozen can fly, but they are still persevering.
Tomcats never die, they just slowly wither away!
The precious Tomcat fighter jets waste their lifespan and vulnerable parts every time they fly. They actually dispatched two Tomcats for their own transport aircraft, which shows that they also attach great importance to their own side!
The plane landed at an aviation base near Bandar Abbas Port. By this time, it was already dark.
The IL-76, with its navigation lights on, slid steadily into a hangar. After the plane came to a stop, the cargo door slowly opened, and in front of Qin Tao, a large number of Parthian soldiers appeared.
"Dear guests, you are welcome to come from afar. My name is Qasim and I will be responsible for receiving you all."
Looking at the hand stretched out by the bearded man in front of him, Qin Tao showed a bright smile: "It's a great honor, Mr. Kasim, you can call me Qin. I am the person in charge of the Chinese side of the entire transaction."
Liu Shenggen stood next to Qin Tao, mumbling something. When the two sides were introduced one by one, a Parthian man looked at Liu Shenggen in surprise.
"Liu, are you Liu? Do you remember me? You once taught us how to operate the Silkworm anti-ship missile. I am Salami!"
Liu Shenggen looked at Salami, who had grown a full beard, and really didn't recognize him. He hadn't seen him for a few years, and he had turned into a middle-aged uncle.
Salami was very happy. Back then, as the commander of the shore-to-ship missile unit in the army, he received anti-ship missiles from the East. He once showed great success in the ship attack battle in Xi'an Bay. Unexpectedly, he would meet again now!
"Salami, I'm glad to see you." Liu Shenggen was also very excited.
We are old friends. When we meet again, of course we will give you a warm hug.
Qin Tao was also very happy. It would be easier if he had an acquaintance! In this case, let’s start with the introduction of anti-ship missiles!
"In the past, the anti-ship missiles you used were large in size, short range, and required tedious preparations before launch. Now, we have brought a brand-new anti-ship missile. Its performance is even better than the French Exocet missile. advanced!"
"Is it Chinese flying fish?"
Of course, these people have also heard of the reputation of China's Flying Fish. After all, this anti-ship missile was publicly displayed during the 1984 military parade.
"Yes, it's a modified version. Its range is a full 120 kilometers."
When Qin Tao said this number, everyone present was stunned.
One hundred and twenty kilometers? Isn't this too outrageous?
There are a large number of oil exporting countries along the coast of the Gulf of Rest, so it has the busiest shipping lanes in the world. The entire strait is about 1040 kilometers long and between 180 and 320 kilometers wide.
If you look at this data, an anti-ship missile with a range of 120 kilometers seems to have no effect, but at the exit of the Gulf of Rest, there is a Strait of Hormuz known as the throat!
This strait is about 150 kilometers long from east to west, with the widest part of the water reaching 97 kilometers and the narrowest part only 38.9 kilometers; the average water depth is 70 meters, the shallowest part is 10.5 meters, and the deepest part is 219 meters. There are many islands, reefs and shoals in the strait.
What does a range of 120 kilometers mean?
They don't need to set up anti-ship missiles on islands such as Qeshm Island and Hormuz Island. As long as they find a place on the coastline of their mainland and set up anti-ship missiles, they can block the entire strait!
This kind of missile is definitely a sharp weapon!
While Qin Tao was introducing it, the equipment in the belly of the transport plane began to slowly pour out. The first one was the C802 anti-ship missile launcher that was stuffed in at the end!
This is a 6*6 off-road truck. Behind the truck, there are four square-section launch boxes. When it drove out, all the Parthians looked over.
"We brought the equipment this time. You can see the actual strike effect of the missile. Of course, you need to prepare a target ship, and you have to find a time when there are no cargo ships."
This is a busy route. If there is an accident during the test launch, and the missile plunges into the belly of the tanker, it will be a big trouble.
This kind of thing has happened before. In later generations, the shore-to-ship missile force of the Parthian Kingdom once shot a missile into the belly of its own naval warship. The record was brilliant and the warship was sunk!
"This is simple. We just need to announce to the public that several floating mines have been found in the Strait of Hormuz, and those tankers will not dare to come over." Qasim said casually.
It's really tough!
"It's a pity that the range is only 120 kilometers. If it is 300 or 400 kilometers, it would be better." Salami spoke on the side.
One hundred and twenty kilometers can only block the Strait of Hormuz. If it is three or four hundred kilometers, then the entire Gulf of Rest can be completely blocked.
"Missiles do not have such a long range yet, but we can provide missile carriers. I wonder if you have heard of our navy's catamaran missile boats?"
Kasim and others began to breathe rapidly: "You want to sell us that kind of missile boat? It is said that it can reach a speed of fifty knots?"
"If we have this kind of missile boat, we can control the entire Gulf of Rest!"
"Long live the East!"
"Ahem, we also have a ballistic missile, you should also be interested."
What, there are ballistic missiles?
The Parthian Empire has ballistic missiles. During the eight-year war, they launched countless Scud missiles. They are even developing their own ballistic missile industry to make their missiles more powerful and farther. If they can hit the Kingdom of David, it would be even better.
The East has very good ballistic missiles. Are they planning to sell big killer weapons? They once sold it to the Happy Desert Country across the way, so they should be able to sell it to us, right?
"How many thousands of kilometers is the range?" Qasim asked.
Thousands of kilometers?
No wonder these guys are so excited, are they wrong?
Qin Tao shook his head: "Although we did not sign that treaty, in order to avoid international disputes, we still have to follow relevant international regulations. We cannot export missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers."
Not even as good as the Scud missile?
Everyone showed disappointment.
"Although the range does not meet your requirements, our missile has very high accuracy, with a maximum error of no more than 100 meters. During the actual launch, the error can even be within 20 meters, which is much better than the Scud's error of one or two kilometers."
