Like the Russian Tornado, the A100 is a long-range rocket launcher. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, Pakistan's purchase of the A100 is to deal with the "Tornado" purchased by India, and to make up for the lack of quantity with range advantages.

Although there is no reliable information, with the strength of Pakistan, the purchase of A100 is only 30 at most.

That is, only one artillery battalion can be equipped.

Long-range rocket artillery like the A100, it's useless to buy too much.

Very simply, long-range rocket artillery is generally organized in combat units at the group army level, and undertakes the task of fire support at the campaign level.

How many army groups does Pakistan have?

Not a single one!

In addition, the Pakistan Army has only one main operational direction, so only one battalion of long-range rocket artillery is needed for operational needs.

Because military spending is limited, the Pakistan Army will not purchase more A100s.

Even if more long-range rocket artillery is needed, ultra-long-range rocket artillery such as the WS-2 and A200 should be chosen to gain an absolute advantage over the Indian army.

In fact, the Pakistan Army has a similar plan and has been seeking to acquire the A200, or even the A300.

It's just that there is no clear news so far.

The point is that the impact of ultra-long-range rocket artillery is too great.

In the case of the A300, the export version is equipped with a maximum range of 290 km, which can be easily increased to 400 km.

Selling the A300 to Pakistan will inevitably upset the regional arms balance.

In addition, the A300 is very expensive, and the rockets sold in the package are not cheap, so even if Pakistan can afford it, it may not be able to afford it.

The point is, the A100 is sufficient.

The maximum range of the A100 is 120 kilometers, while the "Tornado" purchased by India is only 90 kilometers, and the additional 30 kilometers can make the Pakistani army invincible.

Comparatively speaking, the A100 has more supporting rockets, among which the price of unguided rockets is relatively low.

Otherwise, the A100 is good enough.

For example, a rocket using inertial plus satellite positioning composite guidance technology has a CEP of less than 30 meters, and even a cheap inertial guided rocket has a dispersion error of less than 1 in 300%, which is close to the accuracy of the barrel artillery and far better than other rocket artillery of the same type.

Also, Huaxia has sold a license for the production of rockets, and Pakistan is able to produce them domestically.

Strictly speaking, it is only assembly, that is, many key components still need to be imported from Huaxia.

It's just that the price of domestic assembly is definitely cheaper than importing it as a whole.

In addition, the A100 rocket launcher can also be maintained in the arsenal of Pakistan, and only the mid-term overhaul needs to be sent back to China.

Obviously, the "Tornado" that India procures from Russia is not so convenient.

In fact, this is also the key to India's purchase of 60 "Tornadoes", which are rarely used and rarely used for live-fire training.

In the words of the Indian army itself, let a battalion of thirty Tornadoes fire a salvo, and the shells knocked out are equivalent to the annual daily expenses of a mountain infantry division.

If you conduct an exercise and fire a few volleys, you will have to starve tens of thousands of officers and men.

To put it simply, whether it is the A100 or the "Tornado", they are the pillars of the army's strike firepower, and the number of equipment is definitely not much.

The Pakistan Army procured only thirty A100s, armed with a long-range rocket artillery battalion, and there was no second.

As for the legendary second battalion, it is planned to equip it with A300 or WS-2, but so far there has been no follow-up, I'm afraid it will take several years.

Because of the heavy losses, it is not surprising that the front-line units of the Indian army exaggerate the strength of their opponents.

Of course, the Indian authorities will certainly accept such arguments, after all, no one wants to admit that the Indian artillery is no match for the Pakistani artillery.

Conflict is not limited to the ground.

While the artillery counterattacked, the drones of the Pakistan Air Force were again dispatched to strike at the Indian military camp in the valley.

Last night, when Wang Dong and his team were returning to Islamabad by car, the two sides dispatched fighter jets.

It was just a confrontation, it did not turn into a conflict.

The Indian army dispatched Su-30MKI, a total of four, supported by the "Fercon" AWACS aircraft, and the opponent was four JF-17s of the Pakistani army.

Fearing the escalation of the situation, neither fighter crossed the ceasefire line.

In other words, it's just a long-distance contest.

Although in the report, the Indian Air Force clearly mentioned that the Pakistan Air Force dispatched ZDK-03 AWACS aircraft to provide support for the JF-17, the Indian Air Force did not give a convincing or satisfactory statement for the final result.

That is, the Su-30MKI of the Indian Air Force has been locked by the fire control radar many times, but it has never locked on the Pakistani fighters.

The Indian Air Force emphasized that during the standoff, the Su-30MKI detected the JF-17 and also entered tracking mode, but never got a chance to lock on.

Why?

The statement given by the Indian Air Force is quite straightforward that the passive phased array radar used by the Su-30MKI is flawed.

Actually, this has long been no secret.

More than a decade ago, after acquiring the first Su-30MKI, the Indian Air Force used it to participate in joint exercises with the US military, against the F-15C Ultimate Modification, nicknamed the Golden Eagle.

At that time, the Indian Air Force must have been confident that it would be able to raise its eyebrows.

Unfortunately, the reality is cruel.

In front of the "Golden Eagle", the Su-30MKI, known as the world's most advanced fourth-generation and a half fighter, was defeated, and even the proud super-maneuverability is not worth mentioning.

It was after this that the Indian Air Force was determined to acquire a fifth-generation fighter.

Of course, the outcome could have been even worse.

In the report, the Indian Air Force highlighted the shortcomings of passive phased array radars, in fact, to pave the way for the purchase of F-16s, because the latest model of the F-16 is equipped with active phased array radars.

In addition, the Indian Air Force also mentioned in the report that the Pakistan Air Force flew the third batch of JF-17s.

This fighter is equipped with an active phased array radar.

According to the Indian Air Force, it is precisely because of the more powerful radar performance that the JF-17 is able to lock on to the Su-30MKI at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers.

At the end of the day, the JF-16 of the Pakistan Air Force can only be restrained by acquiring the advanced F-16 as soon as possible.

"How's that, funny, right?"

Wang Dong smiled and sighed, and shook his head again, looking like he didn't know what to say.

It's really funny, because the Su-30MKI is a heavy air superiority fighter, and the JF-17 is a light multirole fighter, and the two are not at the same level at all.

"Do you want to do something?"

"How?"

"Put this inside stuff online and let the world see the Indian jokes."

"Is this necessary?"

"If the Indian authorities want to save face, we should look at it as a joke, anyway, we don't sell fighter jets, it won't affect us at all."

"Tell Nicholas to be careful, don't leave a trace."

"He's so afraid of death, he must be very cautious."

"When you get to Riyadh, call me again."

Luo Qing nodded and agreed, and did not disturb Wang Dong's rest again.

Of course, she not only asked Nicholas to disclose the internal information of the Indian army, but also asked Zhao Yu to send someone to send the needles and medicines kept in the constant temperature freezer to Riyadh and hand them over to Serena.
