Chapter 347: Ballistic Missile Instruction Manual
"And what, Mavi, I knew you had a way!" the Saudi prince asked on the phone with a hint of joy when he saw that things were still turning around.
"The solution is, maybe we in Russia can sell you Saudi Arabia, the kind of short-range ballistic missiles with a range of more than 500 kilometers. Ma Wei said in a surprisingly direct voice.
The Saudi prince on the other end of the phone, his eyes almost popped out, and he was surprised on the sofa!
"What? Short-range ballistic missiles of more than 500 kilometers? Brother Mavi, isn't this kind of long-range missile not allowed to be traded and proliferated? Can you Russia do it?" The Saudi prince also knows about the International Missile Proliferation Treaty.
Whether it is a country that sells missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers or a country that buys such ballistic missiles, all of them will be subject to the most severe sanctions by the world powers, especially NATO. This is not a casual joke! It is no exaggeration to say that the purchase of such missiles is even more terrible than the Israeli threat of armaments......
After all, the NATO alliance is the most powerful military organization in the world. There are only a handful of countries that have the strength to fight against him.
But then again, if Russia really has a way to circumvent NATO constraints and sell ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia at such a long distance. The 100 Whirlwind self-propelled rocket launchers purchased by Israel would not pose an armament threat. After all, in terms of accuracy, a few rocket launchers flying blindly are far less than ballistic missiles, which is terrifying.
This is like the Dongfeng missile that Saudi Arabia purchased from country Z in the 80s, and this was transported back to China, and no one dared to invade the entire Middle East region. At most a small area of friction.
"We, Russia, of course, can't do it either, so we can only sell ballistic missiles with a range of 300 kilometers. Then, a copy of the missile's instruction manual is included, plus special rocket fuel. In this way, a missile with a range of 300 kilometers can become 500, or even 600 kilometers. Ma Wei said vaguely on the phone.
This is a very sensitive transaction, and it cannot be described in too much detail. After all, although this satellite phone in his hand is specially encrypted. But those spies in other countries, almost all the time, want to eavesdrop or decrypt Ma Wei's daily communications.
Find out who he talks to on the phone every day, who he messages with, how many Russian military secrets he has, and so on. This helps to know some of the movements in Russia in advance.
Because what Ma Wei said was too vague, the Saudi prince with the phone in his hand couldn't understand what he was saying, "Missile instruction manual? Special rocket fuel can be turned into a range of 500 or 600 kilometers? Brother Ma Wei, what are you talking about? I can't seem to understand ......."
The Saudi prince was really confused by Mavi. But this is not to blame him, after all, in this life, no one has ever heard of such an operation. So I can't understand the essence of it.
"If you don't understand, even if you don't understand, it seems that I can only sell missiles to other countries. Ma Wei couldn't help and joked on the phone.
However, although he was joking, the Saudi prince on the other end of the phone took it seriously!
"Don't, don't, don't, Brother Mavi, or you wait for me to get off! I'll take a plane right now and go to Russia to find you!" the Saudi prince said to Mavi anxiously. He didn't want to miss the opportunity again. And what Israel, or Iran, took the lead.
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, I'm not in Moscow right now, I'm in China. Ma Wei said on the phone with a smile. Arms trading is the most fulfilling of all his businesses. After all, the function of the commodity, or the power, the influence, is very significant. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is enough to change the fate of a small and medium-sized country......
"Ah, are you in China now, and when will you return to Russia?" asked the Saudi prince with great concern. He is eyeing Ma Wei, and he is still the kind who will not let go.
"I'll see you in Moscow in about two days. Ma Wei said on the phone without hurrying. His state is in stark contrast to the Saudi prince on the other end of the phone. Those who don't know think he's a prince......
"Okay, Brother Mavi, I'll leave it all to you this time!" the Saudi prince said to Mavi sincerely.
"Well, don't worry, there will always be a solution to the problem. In order to let the other party get a good night's sleep in the past two days, Ma Wei didn't forget to comfort him, which can be said to be very kind.
and a certain arms tycoon, after the phone call, the Saudi prince did not stop. Instead, he immediately ran to his father, the Saudi king, to inquire about the Russian government's purchase of ultra-long-range rockets by Israel.
"Father, has the Russian side agreed to reject Israel's purchase order?" he asked the Saudi king respectfully.
"Well, you also know that we don't buy a lot of arms from Russia. So they won't refuse the $1.2 billion order for us. "The King of Saudi Arabia, somewhat tired from his position. He spoke with the President of Russia on the phone.
However, the reply received was a straightforward refusal. After all, he Saudi Arabia only bought less than 1 billion arms from Russia last year. That is, the latest Spitfire tank, plus short-range rockets. After that, there was no follow-up.
If Russian ultra-long-range Whirlwind rockets are delivered to the territory of Israel. Then they, Saudi Arabia, will have to think about buying the most advanced anti-missile systems from the Americans. Used to intercept these self-propelled rockets.
However, the price of a mature antimissile system is quite expensive! For example, the Patriot antimissile system in the United States is sold for as much as $10.5 billion. The key to this system, it does not have a 100% guarantee that self-propelled rocket launchers fired from Israel can be perfectly intercepted.
According to the Patriot anti-missile system, the interception accuracy of the Scud missile is estimated, and an average of 3~4 anti-missile missiles need to be launched to intercept these fast-moving things.
In addition to the cost of purchasing the system, the cost of launching an anti-missile missile is also extremely frightening. The price of a rocket is several times cheaper than a missile. The average is only 200,000 or 300,000 US dollars. And the anti-missile missiles used for interception start at least a million dollars.
Three at a time, that's $3 million. For rocket artillery that costs 300,000 rounds, it is a 10-fold difference in amount. Even if it is a tyrant country, it can't afford it! If someone casually throws 300 million, he will spend 3 billion to intercept it, and it may not guarantee 100% success. It makes people feel hopeless when they think about it......
