Chapter 1146: Green Arrow
The first day of testing ended with this dramatic scene, and everyone could see that the other party was a little annoyed.
The other party's anger can be imagined, three shots, one shot only hit one target, one shot misses the target, one shot malfunction, if this is averaged, the low hit rate is terrible, and if it continues to fight today, I am afraid that it will be embarrassing to throw people home.
At this time, of course, you can't continue to do it, if you continue to make trouble, if you can't do it, where will you still have face.
The other party is gone, and it is cold, and it is inconvenient to continue here, Sharif said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the celebration banquet today." ”
In fact, after these two shots, the big guys already know in their hearts, compared with the two missiles, the Tao type is of course still good, but the Red Arrow-8 missile, which is better than the Tao missile, is even more incisive, in this case, they want to choose, naturally choose the more advantageous Red Arrow-8 anti-tank missile.
After only two hits, the Red Arrow-8 missile has won everyone's recognition by virtue of its outstanding performance, in particular, this missile is completely a way of respecting actual combat, and it is even more commendable to do it in accordance with actual combat.
In this case, although the Americans left with their picks, there was still a lot of interest here.
"Thank you." Qin Zhenhua said with a smile, the other party didn't say what it was, but directly said that it was a celebration banquet, and the meaning was obvious.
This banquet is to celebrate, to celebrate the Red Arrow-8 missile, which has achieved absolute superiority and has won their recognition!
It's not the first time to go to the banquet, Qin Zhenhua is generous, and when everyone is seated, Sharif said: "We are very satisfied with this missile, if we introduce the production line, I don't know how long it will take, we can produce it ourselves?" ”
"If we introduce our production line in full, plus plant construction and equipment commissioning, we think that there will be about two years." Qin Zhenhua glanced at Professor Wang Limin, and then said to the other party.
This production line is definitely not dismantled from the domestic production line, but to order various machines, and then transport them for installation, so that it will definitely be able to drive up a lot of factories and give them profits.
Moreover, in the past two years, if Lao Ba wants to have the Red Arrow-8 missile, it should be purchased from outside, so he can still have a certain sales order.
Now, the country no longer has any scruples about exporting production lines, and it is developed to sell for money, and selling products directly is to sell money, and selling production lines is also selling money.
As for selling the production line, whether it will block its own business, it depends on how to think about it, the side has sufficient research and development capabilities, and when the production line is built here, it will begin to be put into production, and the new type of domestic anti-tank missile has also been developed, so the other party still has demand, and the international market will also need it, in this case, it will not affect its own exports.
Whatever, if you can make money by selling it, it will be convenient to obtain more R&D funds, so as to develop more advanced weapons and embark on the road of benign development.
"So, what if we ask to join forces and develop together?" At that moment, a person on the other side spoke.
This is a new face, Qin Zhenhua was stunned for a moment and looked at the other party.
"Oh, and I'll introduce you, this is Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan, who currently heads our Armaments Development Laboratory." Sharif said to the crowd.
"If you want to develop together, what do you think?" Qin Zhenhua asked.
"We want a longer range, a higher depth of armor piercing, more ways of aiming, especially against explosive reactive armor, and we also need to have this ability, and overall, we want to achieve the performance of the Tao-2A." "We want to improve the performance of the current Red Arrow-8 missile, so that it will be our main weapon against future armored threats," Kadir Khan said. ”
The other party obviously came prepared, although because it was not a formal occasion, did not bring those detailed formula data and so on, but still had a certain concept to reach the level of the latest Tao-2A.
Although it is said that the Tao missile is an advanced and widely used missile in the West, it has a variety of models, just like the M1 missile.
The early pottery style was equipped with troops in 1970, with a range of 3,000 meters and a static armor thickness of 600 mm.
Although the Americans are giving military aid to Laoba, they will not give the latest weapons and equipment to Laoba, perhaps the Americans are worried, as long as something is in the hands of Laoba, it will fall into the hands of the big countries in the East, and they have to be on guard. Anyway, this kind of missile has been used in large quantities in the Vietnam War, and the success rate against Vietnamese tanks is more than 80 percent, which is already quite good, and at the same time, because it has been produced for more than ten years, it is also the largest batch.
Later, in 1981, the Tao 1 missile equipment unit was finalized. The missile shortened the launch tube to 1067 mm, which helped to overcome the difficulties of maneuvering the launcher in conditions of large crosswinds. Equipped with an AN/TAS-4 night sight for night aiming, a retractable cylindrical probe about 305 mm long is mounted in the warhead cavity to greatly improve performance, allowing it to penetrate armor up to 800 mm.
However, this missile was not produced for a few years, and in 1983, a real facelifted Tao 2 came out, with an increase in diameter and weight, an increase in the probe on the front of the warhead from 305 mm to 540 mm, and an armor-piercing thickness of 1,000 mm. The use of an extended-range engine increases the range, increases the carbon dioxide laser cursor, and improves the combat capability of the missile in smoke screen dust or harsh climatic conditions.
After the appearance of this missile, the Xiusi company made persistent efforts to improve the Tao 2A type, which was officially equipped with troops this year, and compared with the Tao 2, it used a two-stage tandem hollow charge to improve accuracy and power, and was used to attack targets draped in reactive armor.
Lao Ba's vision is quite long-term, since they want to engage, they must engage in the world's advanced, they are very satisfied with the Red Arrow-8, compared to their own equipped Tao missile, it is already a performance improvement against the sky, but they are still not satisfied, and want better.
Hearing these requests, Qin Zhenhua nodded seriously: "Of course you can, but if that's the case, it may require more capital investment." ”
What they are talking about is also the improvement plan of their own Red Arrow-8 missile, and it is naturally better for the other party to provide research and development funds.
"Well, we hope that this missile can be developed in our own country, and we will preside over it." Kadir Khan smiled: "We plan to call this missile the Green Arrow. ”
