Chapter 744: Ling

The stunning appearance of the V3 transport aircraft has really made the armies of various countries salivate, and this is a divine object that can greatly improve tactical transportation. Regardless of the high cost of 80 million US dollars, as many as 5 countries with vast land areas are interested in buying this artifact that kills the osprey in seconds.

The V3, which has not yet been tested in the actual world, has received an order for 50 aircraft, earning $4 billion in revenue in one fell swoop. Everything else at the Abu Dhabi International Defence Show was overshadowed.

The UAE is preparing a global tender for attack drones, and when asked if Piercar had a similar product, this demand gave birth to the V1, the little brother with a vertical take-off weight of 10 tons.

This little brother will be the platform for the drone, and it will use an unprecedented five-stage folding that can stretch the wings to a very long, 35-meter length, so that it can stay in the air for a considerable amount of time.

The performance can be compared to the Global Hawk, with a range of up to 25,000 kilometers.

In order to give full play to its advantages of vertical take-off and landing, the V1 drone has a rare earth element solar film on its wide wings, which can be docked on an uninhabited island or mountain to recharge before the energy is exhausted.

If the detection range of the Global Hawk is 12,500 kilometers, the V1 is unlimited and more global than the Global Hawk.

You can also swap out part of your 25,000-kilometer range with precision-guided weapons to strike local targets.

Its solar film can fly up to 1,000 kilometers after 12 hours of full light, and the battery is capable of storing 4,000 kilometers of power, so if you reduce your speed to 80 kilometers, you can fly in the sun with zero energy consumption.

When the V1 is not equipped with reconnaissance combat equipment, it costs $35 million a unit. The local tyrant UAE said, give me the best equipment, the price is good, and now, the UAE has knelt down on the research and development capabilities of Piercar company.

The equipment given by Piercar starts at 4 million, and can be compared to the Global Hawk of the U.S. Air Force at 65 million. In the end, the UAE chose a compromise plan with a total price of 50 million US dollars, booking 20 aircraft with a purchase amount of 2 billion US dollars, once again refreshing the upper limit of military purchases.

The world does not understand why the UAE wants to purchase the world's top strategic reconnaissance and attack drones, because the UAE has never been and cannot be a country with long-range strike ambitions, and it may be that there is too much money.

The Abu Dhabi Carnival has just come to an end, and the never-ending Piercar company has announced that it will usher in a disruptive naval era.

This subversive shipbuilding scheme is called "Endless Ling". Inspired by BAE's diamond-shaped design, Lee took this idea to the next level, where ships on the diamond-shaped deck could be combined to form an inverted V-shaped complex.

All ships use the "super all-through deck", there is not even a ship island, one side is the take-off runway, the other side is the landing runway, and the middle connection is the place where the carrier-based aircraft are moored.

The standard displacement of each ship is 1,000 tons, which is a very small warship, but the length of the diamond-shaped side can reach 50 meters, and the four ships can be spliced together to obtain a 200-meter-long runway, which is longer than the small aircraft carrier in Thailand, and the displacement is only 4,000 tons.

This may be the smallest combination officially recommended, a 4000-ton warship can get an "aircraft carrier battle group", what else do you want? Each diamond-shaped warship has a small hangar in its hull, which can hold a fighter plane, as well as the corresponding weapons.

This mini aircraft carrier battle group can reach the level of 8 fighters. Without the ship island, how to command the voyage? Let's take this four-body mini-formation as an example, each diamond-shaped ship has an active phased array radar on a certain side, each of which is in charge of its own side to form a 360-degree radar array with no dead angles.

Too short without a ship-island radar? It doesn't matter, just sell the V1 strategic reconnaissance aircraft, fly with you if you have nothing to do, and act as a reconnaissance or early warning role.

Li Xiantai priced a diamond-shaped ship at 100 million US dollars, the total price of the mini-formation ship itself was 400 million, and 1 V1 early warning aircraft was 50 million, and the recommended carrier-based aircraft was a good match for the "three-body" fighter that was about to be put into production. 2.6 billion.

In short, the total cost of a mini aircraft carrier formation is only 5. $7.6 billion. From now on, please stop laughing at the Mongolian Navy, because it is likely that people will really form their own navy in anger, or an aircraft carrier formation.

Li Xiantai estimates that as long as the world's military spending exceeds $1 billion, it is likely to be a potential customer for such an aircraft carrier, about 70. Lee's strategy is to send skillful salesmen to lobby these 70 countries to develop aircraft carriers.

It's a pity that Mongolia really doesn't meet this standard......

The technical difficulty of the Endless Ling lies in the way of docking, a careless may crash into the hull, Li Xiantai borrowed the gear principle of the aircraft carrier arresting cable, and the complex variable speed gear will skillfully resolve the collision and stretch between ships.

The Americans must be very afraid of the realization of such a conceptual aircraft carrier, because they have already begun to make a big mockery. According to Li Xiantai's plan, at least 70 countries in the world can achieve ocean-going strikes, and there has never been a local security security risk, and the Yankees are a little uneasy, right?

Maybe Iran's aircraft carrier will quietly arrive at the doorstep of the Americans. As long as they are willing to spend billions of dollars, the delivery capacity of 100 carrier-based aircraft is there. Iran still has a little money.

The Indian military has become a fan of Pilkar, clamoring that if this plan is reliable, they will order 90 sets, isn't it 9 billion dollars? Mere trifle.

The algorithm of these 90 sets is like this, a dignified V is composed of 9 ships, which can carry 18 fighters. 90 sets is 10 standard aircraft carrier formations, at least the same number as the 10 aircraft carrier formations of the United States, right?

Why compare yourself to the Americans? Because for the sake of the balance between India and Pakistan, the Americans once drove the aircraft carrier formation into the Indian Ocean when India was preparing to beat Pakistan, and the troops came to the city, and since then they have formed a bond (or caused a psychological shadow).

The Americans ridiculed this Endless Ling aircraft carrier program as a child's toy, and our Nimitz played you to death every minute, and everyone must be fooled.

There will be 90 sets in India alone, this trend is very bad, and Indian friends do not urinate the ridicule of American friends, what if the Greeks can really solve a series of problems?

At the time of the Falklands War, it was rumored that the Americans were likely to lease aircraft carriers to the British, and Argentina held a grudge against this, reminding the Indian people to be careful of their nuclear submarines.

Many military experts believe that the Argentines were simply frightened by rumors of American intervention, and did not even have the courage to break out of the blockade.

The speed of the nuclear submarine in the water is enough to bite the tail of the battleship, and the Argentines lose at this point, once the tail is bitten, it is lifeless, and their own battleship may be attacked at any time, but they do not know where the other side is.

After being reminded by the Argentines, India especially hoped that the Pyrcar company would make a difference in anti-submarine aircraft. Therefore, the anti-submarine version of the V1 began to be developed at the request of India.

Diamond-shaped warships can also have anti-submarine equipment, and they can flexibly break away from the formation and become frigates, anyway, India's procurement is so large that there is no risk of being overstretched.

This high-profile project was put on github by Piercar for a while and open-sourced, which surprised everyone.

However, when everyone came to github to take a closer look, they found that it was open source for non-core components, and I hope to use everyone's wisdom to provide opinions on the structure of living facilities for sailors, and all aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation can participate.

As for the secrets of radar and missile sonar, you can also provide some solutions if you like this, as a pastime, and generally the official will not use it.

Officially, anyone who is adopted by the main branch of the design will have the opportunity to get a model of the aircraft carrier as an encouragement.

In addition to assigning tasks to professional staff, Li Xiantai's daily routine also looks at open source projects every day, determines the main branch, and provides free services very pleasantly.

After all, no one has the opportunity to design an aircraft carrier, the engineers are very positive.

Unsatisfactory in terms of air carriers, Argentina has not repented, and has become interested in diamond-shaped aircraft carriers, saying that it is considering buying 45 ships to form a powerful navy of 5 aircraft carrier formations that uneasy South American countries.

This time, even the Greeks themselves could not sit still and did not support their country's military industry so many times? It's too unusual, well, well, use tax reductions to purchase a batch of diamond-shaped aircraft carriers, after all, this is cheap enough, and that air aircraft carrier or something still can't afford it.

The Greeks will procure 27 ships in three formations with a carrier-based aircraft carrying capacity of 54 aircraft.

Both Israel and Saudi Arabia have expressed "hope to see the real thing soon."

The Philippines and Vietnam have also expressed concern about the cheap aircraft carrier program in order to counter the powerful Qing Empire in the South China Sea.

Britain's MI6 was very concerned about the growing Argentine military power, and thought that the Greeks had been transformed by cyborgs, but at this time, they heard the surprising news that the Pyrcar company had rejected the purchase of diamond-shaped aircraft carriers by the Korean Kingdom without giving a reason.

Aren't the Greeks and cyborgs really the same thing?

The British themselves had 2 Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, but they tried to buy one to study in order to deal with a possible future threat to the Argentine Navy, but unexpectedly, their procurement request was also rejected by Piercard.

It seems that the situation is already obvious, and it is possible that the Greeks, for the benefit of their previous customers, will refuse purchases from potential enemies of their customers, for example, Japan's potential rival Goryeo, Argentina's potential rival England.

Israel is an exception. Greece sells weapons both to the Israelis and to Middle Eastern tycoons.

What is the calculation of the Greeks who have been transformed by mysterious forces?
