Chapter 328: Whirlwind self-propelled rocket launcher is a big seller
This is the headline that Ukrainian journalists thought of at the venue. They don't care about the issue of self-propelled rocket artillery. Instead, focus on the allies, Russia, whether it has suffered a big loss.
Obviously, there are a lot of "losses" this time......
As for the Russian side, the French and South Koreans are naturally unwilling to buy another piece of evidence that they suddenly came up with. They demanded that their own team be sent to verify what Russia said was the bombing of the submarine.
However, the results are very different. It was indeed their French "Aster anti-aircraft missile", as well as South Korea's main naval guns.
In the face of Russia's red fruit, even if you know that this is a plot that has been prepared for a long time. The evidence is ironclad, and the French and Koreans must also admit it. After all, it's their pot this time, and they can't shake it off.
As for compensation, it is certainly not as simple as compensating for two submarines. According to the nature of the aggravity, Russia demanded that France and South Korea pay $200 million as compensation. The cost includes the price of two submarines, as well as the cost of Russia's moral damage and reputational damage. Anyway, not a penny less.
In addition to losing money, a public apology is also a must.
This time the sea battle is much more tortuous and bizarre than the one caused by last year's book. I saw that the people who ate melons on the Internet were discussing this "earth-shattering counterattack" against Russia for several weeks.
Not only have they developed ultra-long-range self-propelled rocket launchers with 120-kilometer precision guidance. And in the end, they even claimed 200 million US dollars from the French and South Koreans! I can only say that it is too much!"
"Wonderful, it's so exciting! This is much more exciting than our court drama and harem brawl! The key is that it really happened. It's a pity that there are not many official details. ”
"2333, the battle between Russia and France and South Korea is comparable to the Normandy landings during World War II! It was adapted and filmed into a movie, and it was definitely a big hit at the box office! And all in active contact.
This kind of show-to-fly operation made the heads of the two film companies wonder who made it. But in order to protect someone's safety, the Russian government declined to disclose too much information about the incident. It's okay for a movie to be filmed, but the screenwriter can only imagine it for himself.
As a result, the last Russian man named Gasosky became the protagonist of the whole movie story. From the research and development of ultra-long-distance self-propelled rocket artillery, plus the earth-shattering reversal of design and layout. It's all planned by this man, and it's very legendary and personal.
This film, which is based on real events, is expected to be released in the second half of next year. I believe that at that time, there will be another wave of heat. Let the audience relive the shocking operation of the Russian "Gasosky" show to fly in 2002......
Regarding the initial script of the movie, the "culprit" Ma Wei has naturally seen it. Many of the details in it are exaggerated, and he did not order the government to carry out rocket artillery bombardment of the combined fleets of South Korea and France (although this is indeed very forceful). And inside Russia, there is not so much opposition......
……
The emergency meeting of the United Nations, officially ended. The South Koreans and the French, according to the verdict, paid 1.2 billion dollars to Russia. And also apologized in public.
The ultra-long-range rocket artillery being developed by Russia has been favored by many countries.
"Hey, is this Mr. Mavi? I am from the Algerian Ministry of National Defense, and I would like to ask you, can your country's 650-kilometer ultra-long-range self-propelled rocket launcher be ordered now? We, the Minister of Defense, are very interested in it!" the representative of the Algerian Ministry of Defense asked Mavi on the telephone.
Algeria is an important military country in Africa, the largest country in Africa in terms of area, and the third largest economy in the Middle East. It is adjacent to Libya in the east, which is very rich in mineral resources and belongs to a large arms industry.
"You can make a reservation, no problem, how much do you need?" Ma Wei asked on the phone.
"What about the price of self-propelled rocket launchers? "The representative of the Ministry of Defense of Algeria, I would like to know the approximate price.
"A Tornado rocket launcher system costs about $15 million. It can fire a variety of warheads such as grenade submunitions. However, rocket artillery warheads need to be purchased separately. "$15 million a rocket launcher, that's expensive. Self-propelled rocket launchers in other countries are often sold for around $300 to $5 million.
But you get what you pay for, and it is obvious that Russia's Whirlwind rocket artillery has a long range and high accuracy. The deterrent is stronger.
"$15 million a door, that'...... We in Algeria may need to book about 20 doors. "Algeria's military budget is $300 million, so it can only set 20 rocket artillery systems.
"Okay, but a friendly reminder to your country, a few days ago, Morocco said that it would order 50 Tornado rocket systems. Ma Wei said on the phone in a faint voice.
This friendly reminder of his is all about the facts. The reason why I want to speak to the Algerian delegates is because Morocco and Algeria have had a border war because of a territorial dispute. The relationship is very poor.
The national strength of the two countries can be said to be equal, and Morocco is not afraid of Algeria. He even had a conflict with Spain. So after learning that Russia has this kind of ultra-long-distance rocket artillery, he immediately relied on the relationship and found Mavi.
"Morocco: They want 50 rocket launchers? Mr. Mavi, wait a minute! I'll call you in half an hour, oh no! I'll call you in 20 minutes!" said the representative of the Algerian Ministry of Defense on the phone, his tone suddenly a little anxious.
He asked Ma Wei to wait for him for 20 minutes, which was to report the news to the defense minister. Although the two countries are not at war much now, they have always had the meaning of comparing and competing with each other. In particular, in the arms race, Algeria does not want to lose to Morocco.
"Okay, we'll get back in touch then. "Mavik doesn't have the troubles of Algeria. Anyway, he is an arms dealer, and he only sells armaments to collect money.
Twenty minutes later, the Algerian representative just now hurriedly called Mavi and said, "Hey, Mr. Mavi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting! As for your country's Whirlwind self-propelled rocket launchers, we in Algeria want to buy 70 of them! That is, $8.5 billion!"
