277 Found a way out of scrapped anti-aircraft missiles (2/100)
"Is the news reliable?" Zheng Yucheng's throat was dry.
If that's the case, you have to take it.
The domestic military industry is very difficult to encounter such a list.
"Reliable, so a delegation of the Soviets stayed in Tehran for three months and never made a breakthrough. The Iranians were not satisfied with the construction plan they offered. The Soviet Union's plan to build a torrent of steel requires a massive tank cluster to achieve. At the price of $3.5 million per T72, just over a hundred tanks would have to consume the money. Long Yaohua said.
The price of the third-generation tanks of the Soviets was actually not high.
In the international market, even second-generation tanks with good performance cost more than $1.8 million each.
Iraq seeks to purchase China's Type 69 main battle tanks on a large scale, just because the price is cheap, and the Chinese side offers only $500,000 for each tank.
A brigade of $500 million, according to the price of equipment in China, it is very difficult to consume.
The equipment of the Soviets, to build a top brigade, 500 million dollars is simply not enough.
"This has to be looked at carefully, we didn't pay attention to it before. Wang Guilin looked at the other people, their eyes were flashing with excitement, and he spoke.
Xie Kai looked at the Iranians in front of him, he really couldn't figure out what they were thinking.
Sitting casually on the poplar wood sofa, he puffed out a cloud of smoke and looked at the Iranian, "General, it's really hard for me to understand what you mean. ”
"How can a brigade be configured and trained to achieve maximum combat capability. "Ihor has a headache for Xie Kai who is so young, but smokes.
He thought he was crazy, and he actually asked a child about army building.
"In the usual configuration, a brigade can be equipped with at least six battalions, or even nine battalions. Depending on the direction of construction, the configuration can be emphatically configured. Army construction, heavy equipment troops, this is the main force of the operation. So, the tank battalion must have...... The infantry battalion for the construction of armored vehicles in coordination with tank operations must have...... The helicopter gunship unit of the joint operation...... "Xie Kai, these things are all provided in the plan."
There is no specific configuration.
All of them are based on battalions, which is also explored by the reform of the PLA decades later.
However, the main body is still based on brigades.
Xie Kai's plan was built with the top blue army in China, a blue army brigade, competing with many elite troops in many military regions in China, but one defeat was not a real failure, and both sides were doomed.
Xie Kai was most touched by the Red Army troops who had entered the exercise area and shouted the slogan of "Capturing Man Guangzhi alive and liberating Zhu Rihe."
How could such a unit, how could he not want to appear sooner?
Although the construction of informatization has not started in China, it has been configured from the beginning, slowly upgraded, and then this whetstone continues to fight the Red Army, how interesting is this?
The Qilian Mountains are even more suitable for the exercises of the integrated forces.
However, it is difficult at home.
Now that there are Iranians as guinea pigs, he naturally does not miss the opportunity.
"What we want is that in this brigade there will be not only heavy tanks and so on, but also an air force ......," Ihor said.
"Do you want the navy to equip it too?" Xie Kai asked with a roll of his eyes.
A brigade!
"Actually, it's not impossible. Seeing the dissatisfaction on the Iranians' faces, Xie Kai put away the joke. "According to the original idea, we were thinking about the creation of a mixed brigade. One of the brigade headquarters battalions is mainly used to ensure the security of the brigade headquarters and command support; a combat reconnaissance battalion is mainly used for special operations and can be regarded as an infantry establishment; and two infantry battalions for coordinated operations, one artillery battalion, and one support battalion are mainly used for operations. As long as such a brigade is used properly, its combat effectiveness far exceeds that of a reinforced division...... "Xie Kai said.
The Iranians are taking a quick record of what he says.
"What if you want to have helicopter gunships or even fighter jets?" said Ihor, who felt that Xie Kai's proposal was somewhat like the formation of a heavy brigade of the U.S. military.
The defense forces of the Pahlavi dynasty originally had such an idea of construction, but they were overthrown before they could be implemented.
They wanted to be part of the Air Force in this brigade.
Because, the commander of this army will be Ihor.
"It can be built separately, trained together in peacetime, and used to support ...... during combat" Xie Kai looked at Ihor's determined eyes, "Okay, it can be expanded again." The brigade is equipped with helicopters and fighters, which also belongs to the support category. ”
A brigade contains all kinds of weapons and equipment, and Xie Kai is thinking about how to ensure logistics.
At the beginning, the domestic blue army disclosed too little news.
The only thing known is the formation of a brigade, but there are helicopter gunships, transport helicopters, and fighters for support.
Xie Kai didn't understand, so he didn't bring it up.
Who knew that the Iranians would bite and build this force of theirs in this way.
For the later informatization construction, Xie Kai knows what it is but does not know why, and it is also a good thing to let the Iranians help explore the way.
Before the Gulf War, this force should be able to take shape.
When the time comes, the country will start construction, and you will be able to have experience.
"What do you think about the support group? According to your plan, the 359 tank is the main force, and what about the supporting armored vehicles? The 122 self-propelled howitzer is placed in the artillery unit......" Alpha asked Xie Kai.
Support battalions, what do they think?
"Rocket artillery, missiles, especially ...... with a longer range," Xie Kai said without hesitation.
"Medium- and short-range missiles are too expensive! Your domestic 152-mm howitzer has a range of nearly 40 kilometers, which is enough. "The Iranians have their own plans in this regard.
"Rocket artillery has a faster launch speed than howitzers, and the cost is cheaper than missiles, and short-range missiles can be used as a favorable supplement to rocket artillery, although the cost is relatively high......," Xie Kai suddenly thought of a good thing.
It's almost scrapped, and Iran desperately needs it.
"We can provide a tactical missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers, each of which can carry each one for no more than $1 million...... Xie Kai said, licking his lips.
The eyes of the Iranians lit up.
This kind of thing is not good, and the Soviets are asking for a terrible high price.
"What kind of missile?" Alpha asked Xie Kai eagerly.
Xie Kai looked at the expression of the Iranian, and his heart was happy, this is another large amount of money.
At that time, the most domestic missiles were sold to the Iranians, and it is said that the Iranians also got the technology, and in the end they frantically manufactured an unknown number of them.
It is also because of the existence of such missiles that the US imperialists have set fire everywhere in the Middle East, but they do not dare to do anything to the Iranians, who have always been at odds with them.
"This kind of thing, we need our superiors to get ......," Xie Kai shook his head and said. "Let's continue to talk about the configuration of weapons and equipment. ”
The Iranians are anxious, but they can't help it.
Xie Kai needs to discuss with Zheng Yucheng and others.
Regarding equipment, in fact, after the establishment is clear, there is not much need to communicate.
The Iranians finally let go of Shekai.
Xie Kai couldn't think about life according to his previous wishes, but went back to the headquarters to find Zheng Yucheng and others.
It just so happens that Long Yaohua is also here, and this project is only more than a year in advance, and if it is really changed in a short period of time, it can make a windfall in the Iran-Iraq war.
"Didn't you kid think about life, why did you come back? So you have figured out the true meaning of life?" Seeing Xie Kai come back, Zheng Yucheng and the others in the conference room who were all frowning and crying made a fool of him.
When Xie Kai left before, he told Zheng Yucheng that he had to think about life, and such days were too boring.
made Zheng Yucheng and them also depressed.
"Chief, what do we think about those Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missiles in China?" Xie Kai ignored Zheng Yucheng, "I think maybe I have found a way out for the huge number of Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missiles we have given." ”
"What? Your kid's idea of playing Hongqi-2, what is that thing going to do!" Zheng Yucheng was immediately unhappy.
What Hongqi-2 is, they all know.
"What do you think?" Long Yaohua also turned up.
If you can really find a way out for the Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missile, this is the best thing.
The Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missile is an imitation of the Soviet SAM-2 anti-aircraft missile. As soon as it was copied, it shot down the U-2 reconnaissance plane, and later shot down three high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance planes and a MiG-21.
However, this missile was originally an anti-aircraft missile developed by the USSR in the fifties. Although it has shot down a lot of crooked reconnaissance planes as soon as it is supplied to China, it is of no use to the current fighters at all.
Numerous Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missile launch positions were arranged on the northern border, but they were simply unable to cope with the Soviet Tu-22M backfire bombers, etc.
In China, tens of thousands of pieces have been produced for decades.
"Changed to surface-to-surface missiles and sold to the Iranians. That's what came to mind when I started talking to them about the equipment of the support troops. Xie Kai said shamelessly.
The domestic 8610 project is not yet in sight, and the military is estimated to be having a headache.
Tens of thousands of such missiles are not only not cost-effective to destroy directly, but even the cost of destroying them is very huge.
"Surface-to-air missiles changed to surface-to-surface? In the past, surface-to-air missiles were changed to air-to-air missiles, but now they haven't made a name for themselves!" Qi Yuanzhi was not happy.
It's an aircraft missile at every turn, when will you engage in naval equipment?
"Can it be done?" Zheng Yucheng didn't care so much, "How much time does it take?
"The price is not high, and they are interested. It is far easier to convert a surface-to-air missile into a surface-to-surface missile than to an air-to-air missile. Xie Kai said.
I've done this kind of thing before, and there's no problem doing it now.
The only thing is to see if the top military brass agrees.
"The price is too low, it's not cost-effective. Zheng Yucheng frowned and said, "We need money now." ”
"At least 600,000 a piece, you say it's not cost-effective. Xie Kai said.
