Chapter 263: 10,000-ton supply ship

In fact, not only Pakistan is looking forward to it, but China is also looking forward to it.

As Meng Jianye said, China's submarine technology is really backward, even if there is now a nuclear submarine as a big killer, but at best it only solves the problem of whether there is a problem, and the actual combat effectiveness is not as strong as imagined.

In particular, in the control of the most critical noise indicators of submarines, China has always continued to use the relevant technology of the Soviet Union at the end of the 50s.

So it's no wonder that the U.S. Navy says when it communicates with China, "When your nuclear submarine leaves the port, we can hear it in Hawaii."

There is no way, it is really that the noise reduction level of Chinese submarines is too poor, resulting in the noise level of submarines being too high, and they cannot escape the detection of advanced anti-submarine warfare countries such as the Soviet Union, Europe and the United States.

This is only one aspect that restricts the combat effectiveness of China's submarines, as well as high-strength alloy steel, advanced sonar, integrated submarine command system, submarine-launched anti-ship missiles, automatic torpedo loading systems, submarine-towed sonar, advanced batteries, multi-bladed propellers, and pump-thrust systems...... It can be described as multifaceted.

Naturally, the navy is well aware of this and has made great efforts to conduct research, but the results have not been remarkable in the past few years, because the level of basic industries still needs to be improved, which restricts the manufacturing capacity of advanced submarines; and second, the experience of China's submarine development personnel is too lacking.

In addition to samples of old submarines of Soviet models provided in the fifties, only foreign toy models can provide references.

The Navy and the Central Military Commission wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of close relations with the West and wanted to exchange with Europe and the United States experience in the design and construction of advanced submarines, but Europe and the United States were obviously wary of China, and there was no way, no matter what the technical level of China was, after all, it was a country that could independently manufacture nuclear submarines.

Your technical level is poor, I can still monitor you, control you, once you make a breakthrough and let the underwater combat power increase, how can I restrain you? Because of this, European and American countries would rather open aircraft carriers for you Chinese to visit, but also keep submarines secretive, even if they have to let you visit, they are basically just looking at the flowers, and the core things will never be shown to you.

So for so many years, China's submarines have been built behind closed doors, so that both conventional submarines and nuclear submarines can only tinker with the old models, and there is no way to go further for many years.

Although the technical level of the Agosta-70 submarine equipped by Pakistan is not the best in the world, it is at least the culmination of French submarine technology in the 70s.

However, it is a whole generation higher than the level of China in the 50s and 60s, and it is impossible to talk about complete imitation, but the research value is still very high.

For example, its internal shock absorption and noise reduction technology is directly copied from the French nuclear submarine, the structure is very unique, the noise reduction effect is obvious, and the technical level is no less than that of the United States and Soviet products of the same era.

But it is precisely China's blank, even if China has now taken advantage of the heat of the shock-absorbing floating rafts of the Endeavor Factory, and has launched a shock-absorbing device for submarines.

However, the shock-absorbing floating rafts on civilian ships or small military ships are very different from the shock-absorbing devices used by submarines in terms of structure and materials, so the submarine shock-absorbing devices have not been launched for a long time, they have encountered bottlenecks, and no breakthroughs have been made in a few years, and if Pakistan can open up the Agosta-70 submarines, it will be able to learn from the French's thinking.

Can Pakistan open up?

The answer is obvious, because they have stronger expectations, and if it were another country, Pakistan might have to consider it, but now it is China that is cooperating with China, and the two countries have not broken their promises since the day they established diplomatic relations.

What's more, China feels that its own submarine technology is poor, but in the eyes of Pakistan, China, which can produce nuclear submarines, has long been an unattainable existence, and it doesn't need to take too advanced things to give them China's Type 033 submarine production technology, and Pakistan will be happy to sleep at night.

You know, it's a submarine!

What the French disagree with, what still needs the approval of outsiders, to hell with it, I didn't see that for the sake of "Super 7", even the F-16 was studied by Chinese experts.

For the sake of Pakistan's vision of building submarines, what is the opening of the Agosta-70 submarine? What waves can the French make on Pakistani territory?

"I need to explain the submarine matter to China in detail, but I don't think it's a big problem, how to operate, I think it can be a special topic, and the high-level exchange meeting between the two militaries next week can be discussed in detail. ”

This is considered a promise, Meng Jianye nodded with satisfaction, Ali also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the 200 million R&D funds were too well spent, so he opened his mouth and continued to ask: "Mr. Meng just said that there are two conditions, so what is the other one?"

"I heard that your country is looking to buy a new type of supply ship, and what if it is handed over to our Endeavor Shipbuilding Joint Stock Company?"

Originally, Ali was still a little interested, thinking about whether there would be something like a submarine that could benefit without spending too much cost, but as soon as Meng Jianye opened his mouth, Ali's whole person was not good.

Because he never expected Meng Jianye to target their 10,000-ton supply ship anyway.

Yes, the Pakistan Navy is indeed looking for a 10,000-ton integrated supply ship,

The main reason is to cooperate with the second-hand "County" class missile destroyer "Lion" that Pakistan has just purchased from Britain, this big guy with a full load displacement of more than 6,000 tons has too much appetite, and he can't leave the port for a long time before he has to come back to receive supplies, you must know that Pakistan's original intention in buying this warship is to enhance its combat capability in the open sea.

Unable to get rid of port dependence, it is naturally impossible to dominate the open sea, so the supporting comprehensive supply ships will naturally be inconsistent, so with the "Lion" as the core and the two frigates, Pakistan will be able to form an ocean-going fleet with not weak combat effectiveness.

Not only can it cruise the waters off the coast of India to deter India, but it can also cooperate with underwater submarines and air forces in the sky to carry out surprise strikes against India's fleet and ports in wartime.

Out of this realistic consideration, not long after the "Lion" was reached, Pakistan began to plan to purchase comprehensive supply ships, but their eyes did not fall on China, but on Europe, because Europe's technology is more mature; second, the supply interface standards on British warships are all NATO standards, and European products are easier to match.

Therefore, Pakistan sent a tender to several major shipbuilding countries in Europe, and after some screening, it felt that the supply ship plan of Spain's Bazin shipyard was very suitable, but what I didn't expect was that before they were finalized, Meng Jianye came to intervene on behalf of Endeavor Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.

Ali said that his head was messy, was this a promise, or not a promise?
