340 Cluster bombs for surface-to-surface missiles

Xie Kai values Pakistan's demand for third-generation fighters.

So far, the Thunder Dragon fighter project has not yet been launched, and the domestic Jian-10 project has already begun to be demonstrated.

Xie Kai has always wanted to reach into this.

With Pakistan's cooperation, the Thunder Dragon fighter will be stronger than in history, foreign trade or something, the order will definitely not be less, after all, the J-10 was abandoned, a big reason is that Pakistan ordered hundreds of F-16 fighters in the 80s, and the United States agreed to deliver.

You know, when ordering before, Pakistan also gave a lot of money.

Musharraf looked at Shekai with a complicated expression.

China has two huge tank production bases, the 617 tank production base, which is the largest tank production plant in the whole of Asia; although the 541 has not yet completed the construction of most of the production capacity has been diverted, the production of tanks is not a difficult thing, there is nothing Pakistan has to do.

"Colonel, in order to maintain the cooperation between our two sides, we can deliver a part of each order to the tank production plant in your country for production. Of course, we definitely need to take a part of the profits, and at the same time, you can also hand over a part of your order to us for production, and the cost will be deducted from the technical ......cost," Xie Kai said.

Zheng Yucheng and the others were a little unhappy, and they all frowned and looked at Xie Kai.

This is clearly a distribution of profits to Pakistan.

Xie Kai did not explain.

When Musharraf heard this, he felt that it was acceptable.

"What do you think? This is clearly to share our profits with them! 50 million US dollars, they can recover it without much at all, and we do not charge technical costs for their orders!" After coming down, Zheng Yucheng looked reproachful.

"Yes, they don't take advantage of it, so we'll lose a lot of profit. Wang Guilin also became a little serious, "At present, what we lack most is funds. ”

"Yes, in terms of manpower, it is not a problem to have the support of the entire country's military industrial system; it doesn't take too long for us to set up the project, except for the funding. Qi Zhiyuan was also worried.

Even Bai Yanjun was a little willing.

So far, the base has developed prosperously, and it is ready to reach into the field of aviation, but there is still naval equipment to go!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this issue has been discussed before. The larger market for this tank is in the Middle East, South America, these non-NATO countries, non-Warsaw Pact countries. Pakistan is a middleman in our arms exports, and they have always had very good relations with many Middle Eastern countries......" Xie Kai gave his reasons.

Put a long line to catch a big fish.

If no benefits are given at all, how can Pakistan be expected to continue investing?

"Only if they can make huge profits, will they sell our tanks desperately!" Xie Kai said, "Otherwise, why would they sell vigorously? Will we do things that are not profitable?"

With oneself and others, it is difficult for several members of the management committee to make a decision for a while.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever thought that some of the core parts of the 359 tank, the engine, fire control system, tank gun, and other related technologies, are all in our hands?" Xie Kai was most annoyed by doing ideological work.

The core components cannot be manufactured in Pakistan at all.

Even if it is manufactured, whether it is cost or quality, it will definitely not be able to compare with China.

"They can completely leave us alone and contact the manufacturer directly, and there is nothing to do with us. "Zheng Yucheng didn't take it into account, but took into account all kinds of worst-case scenarios.

"The 125mm tank gun, the Chobham armor, the steady image fire control system, and the internal computer system are all in our hands, without these, how much difference is there between the 359 tank and the 59 tank?" Xie Kai was not worried at all. "The biggest advantage of the 359 tank is the technology of the three generations of tanks!"

Zheng Yucheng and the others thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.

Naturally, there is nothing to worry about.

"Therefore, everyone's worries are unnecessary. Xie Kai said calmly.

The Pakistanis also think that the plan proposed by Xie Kai is feasible, and as for the proportion of orders between the two sides, that has to be grinded slowly.

It will take a lot of time to test the prototype in the early stage.

"Colonel, I think it's better to sign a supplementary contract with them, or they will break it. All terms and conditions are fully stated in the contract. "Pakistanis' fears are not unfounded.

They did not expect at all that the Chinese would play such a hand for them in the contract.

If I had known that this was the case, it would never have been so easy to sign a contract.

Musharraf nodded, "You draw up a contract first, and since they propose a win-win situation, if they can fight for more benefits, they will fight for more." ”

"How much did the Iraqis order, and how much did the intent contracts have?" Xie Kai did not know how much Iraq had purchased.

According to their previous offer, a 359 tank can purchase 6 Type 69s.

The Iraqis are in great need for tanks.

"It's more than a hundred, and the intention contract is a hundred......" Wang Guilin didn't know why Xie Kai was asking about this.

"Tomorrow's field test, invite their representatives, participate in the whole process, so that they can get the most intuitive data. Xie Kai said.

Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai worriedly, "The project team is worried about technical leaks. ”

Iraqis and Iranians are just potential buyers.

Even if there is a contract of intent with the Iraqis.

"Leaks? Once this thing is sold, how many secrets can it keep?" Xie Kai didn't worry about it. "You have to let them see it, let them make up their minds about it. ”

"The Iranians need cluster bombs, how did you talk to them in the first place? We don't have this thing ourselves!" Zheng Woo-sung changed the subject.

Originally, Wang Guilin was asked to go to Xie Kai because the Iranians proposed to add cluster bombs to the modified surface missiles of the Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missile.

Xie Kai also has to admire the brains of the Iranians, these goods are obviously prepared to use cluster bombs bought from China to deal with the huge number of tanks purchased by Iraq from China.

"They have a good idea, but cluster bombs are not suitable for missiles. Xie Kai shook his head.

Everyone stared at him, and there was no cluster bomb project at the base.

Even the electromagnetic bomb is still being improved.

"We don't have a research project on cluster bombs, where can we find them? Especially anti-armor cluster bombs!" Zheng Yucheng complained.

Xie Kai shook his head, "We don't have it, we have it in China." Didn't Factory 627 seek to introduce the British 500-pound BL-755 anti-tank submunitions? Now it should have been digested and there is a finished product, right? But this thing is an aerial bomb. ”

Xie Kai knows a lot about the situation in China.

"Collaborative research?" Wang Guilin asked.

"If they are not demanding, they cooperate, and if they are demanding, then buy from them. Xie Kai said solemnly.

The standard aviation anti-tank submunitions to be used by the Air Force in the future are all 250-3 submunitions developed by digesting, absorbing and improving this kind of aerial bombs introduced by the United Kingdom.

The projectile is 2.4 meters long, has a diameter of 419 mm, weighs 227 kg, and is filled with 147 hollow-charged anti-armor bomblets, with a bullet weight of 1.13 kg and an armor-piercing power of 120 mm.

This kind of aviation submunition is very sufficient for armored vehicles.

But for tanks, it's not enough at all.

It must be further improved to effectively increase the armor-piercing ability.

Xie Kai prefers that they 404 be responsible for improving this submunition.

After all, on the basis of the 250-3 submunitions, it is possible to develop an aviation thermobaric bomb for large-scale detonation, or a graphite carbon fiber bomb that cuts off the enemy's power grid.

The problem is that 404 does not have personnel in this area, and if it wants to do it, it will have to dig up a group of people from the 627 factory or relevant domestic aerial bomb research units.

When the time comes, all systems in the entire country will be the enemy of 404, or not.

"They should cooperate. After all, the users on both sides of our side are different, we are mainly foreign trade, and they are producing for the domestic troops. There are currently very few domestic orders per year. Wang Guilin said.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, the focus of domestic strategy shifted to economic construction, and all military projects had to make way for economic construction.

Military-industrial units, almost impossible to find a few good times.

With such an opportunity, it is impossible for the 627 plant to give up.

Even if most of the profits are taken away by 404, as long as there is production, they will be happy.

"Don't be too sure. The brother units in China are the same as us, everyone wants to make their own decisions!" Zheng Yucheng understands the urine nature of domestic units.

Isn't that true of 404?

When you cooperate with others, you definitely have to take the lion's head, and you have to call the shots.

"It's best to cooperate, and you can't just poach their people! Or even find pressure from superiors, anyway, we have to meddle in this thing. Otherwise, when the time comes, we will come up with fighter jets, and there will be no supporting ammunition, which will affect sales. Xie Kai said with a smile.

The others also had no opinion.

For Xie Kai to ignore nothing anymore, they were completely relieved.

No one mentioned anything before Xie Kai either.

"Iranians, you're not going to talk to them? They asked a lot of times, what are you going to do. Qi Zhiyuan asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai's relationship with the Iranians is very good.

"What's the matter with them?" seems to be the Iranians, "no money, too much." Look at the Iraqis, none of them are so troublesome. ”

"It could be related to their training in the back of the hand. ”

"Then go directly to the military! We are just equipping the R&D unit and training the troops, that is a matter for the military, and it is useful for them to find us? Isn't it true that burning incense entered the wrong temple gate!" Xie Kai was even more speechless.

What do Iranians think all day?

The brain circuits seem to be different from those of ordinary people.

"The Iraqis also arrived, and both sides were not satisfied with the training grounds, training time, and even the division of training instructors, and almost fought many times. It's not good to worry about the back of the hand......"
