Scud missiles, at this time, in fact, non-professional people, do not know much, in a few years, when the Gulf War broke out, the Scud missiles will become famous, one moment the Scud will go up, the other time the Patriot missile will be down, such a scene, under the rendering of the Western media, almost everyone knows.

However, in fact, in the current war, the warring sides have already begun to project a large number of Scud missiles, both sides of which show that the spread of such missiles is very fast.

Scud missile, belongs to a single-stage liquid missile, the earliest technical source can even be traced back to the German V-2 missile during World War II, with a range of 300 kilometers, within the Soviet army, it is operated by the army, and is used to carry out the first round of artillery strikes in the war, and the enemy's airfields, power stations and other key facilities within 300 kilometers will be cared for by this weapon.

At the same time, with the expansion of the Soviet Union, this weapon was sold to many countries.

The pyramid countries had good relations with the Soviet Union a few years ago, so they also purchased a batch, and in their hands, this is used as a strategic weapon, and the number of missiles may be more, but the number of launch vehicles is less than twenty in total.

Missile launchers run around with missiles on their backs, and after the missiles are shot, they can come back and load them, so the number of launchers is definitely less than the number of missiles.

Now, the big country in the East actually came to ask for a launch vehicle? However, I have to say that they still have a real vision, this kind of car is indeed a treasure.

The Scud missile launcher, codenamed MAZ-543, is a classic product of the Minsk Automobile Plant of the USSR, and this product appeared even for the Scud missile.

Because it is specially to carry the missile, therefore, this car has a distinctive feature, it is on the left and right sides of the car, there are two separate cabs, just to carry the missile in the middle, below is a huge engine of more than 500 horsepower, through the gearbox and transfer case, to power eight huge off-road tires, the whole car, the appearance looks rough, with the kind of furious aesthetic characteristics of Lao Maozi.

In the sixties, the car became famous with the Scud missile, mass-produced and exported to various countries, becoming an arms symbol of the Soviet Union.

Moreover, this kind of car has also developed a lot of deformation over a long period of time, and almost all subsequent missile launch vehicles are related to it.

Of course, although it is also an 8*8 structure, it is definitely different from ordinary military off-road vehicles and has a unique mechanical structure.

Take its gearbox as an example, there are only three gears, and this kind of car can't run fast at all. Of course, the front is a torque converter, so although there are three gears, you can actually rely on the torque converter to change the speed ratio, which is still relatively wide.

As for its bodywork, it is not only to transport missiles, but also to erect and launch missiles, so there are a lot of unique equipment inside this kind of car.

The big countries in the East want to get their own side to give them a missile launcher? Intuitively, this is unwilling, after all, this is a big killer.

Qin Zhenhua knew that the other party would not agree easily, so this time it was only the first temptation, and he had to offer the other party a high enough bargaining chip.

"We barter, but the valuation of this missile launcher can be twice the market price, so we will make friends." Qin Zhenhua said.

Anyway, the parts that you give for export are also valued according to the market price, and compared with your own cost, you will not lose money.

And this missile launcher is very important for oneself.

So far, there are only trailers in China to haul missiles, this way, has attracted criticism from customers, although Qin Zhenhua flickered in the past, but next time, maybe it will not be able to flicker, when the time comes, customers want this advanced launch vehicle, what to do?

You also have to have technical reserves, so you, an arms dealer, have to find one in the countries around the world that have missile launchers to map and copy.

Of course, Scuds are the first choice!

Due to the well-developed road network in the West, there are a lot of trailers, and even anti-aircraft missiles are trailers, not to mention such ballistic missiles.

The technology of domestic ballistic missiles is also constantly updated, and there will definitely be more missiles that need to be deployed in the future, and the use of this kind of mobile launch vehicle is definitely much better than a trailer.

"Moreover, once we have this sample, we will produce a large number of matching parts." Qin Zhenhua said: "In this way, it will be easy for you to get more sources of parts in the future, as far as I know, it is not easy for you to buy parts for this launch vehicle." ”

You can't buy parts for a BMP infantry fighting vehicle, and when you find out that we have us, you suddenly come up and ask for an order, then, this huge missile launcher, I guess you must not have it.

Hearing this, Arif's face changed, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Please wait a minute, I'll make a call." ”

Qin Zhenhua was suddenly happy in his heart, it seems that this is a drama, if he comes out this time and gets a scud launch vehicle back, even if he doesn't sell anything, it will be worth it.

"We have several Scud missile launchers, the engines have reached the end of life, we want to use the existing tank engine to match, but, after the installation, the engine will resonate, can not be solved, we hope you can help us solve this problem, I don't know if you are willing." Arif said.

Since the other party mentioned the launch vehicle of the Scud missile, then Arif also thought of this.

This super large missile launcher naturally also needs a strong power system, and the prototype vehicle uses a D12A-525 diesel engine with a displacement of 38.9 liters and a power of 525 horsepower.

This D12 series engine can be described as a peach and plum all over the world, the earliest can be traced back to the V-2-34 engine on the T-34 tank, and the 12150L series tank engine in the eastern country is also copied from the D12 series.

It can be said that the size and appearance are almost the same, and this tank engine, naturally, also inherits the shortcomings of the tank engine: it only has a service life of a few hundred hours, and after it expires, it will be overhauled, and after the overhaul will run for a few hundred kilometers, it will be scrapped.

And after that? Naturally, it was time to get a new engine.

It is impossible for them to introduce the same engine of the same model, but they still have a backup for similar tank engines, after all, they also have a lot of T-54 tanks, who would have thought that after installation, there will be problems and cannot be used!

This has already seriously affected the combat readiness of the Scud missile units.
