"Mr. President, will it be a threat to us if we improve Iraq's ballistic missiles and increase their accuracy?" When the Iraqi visitors left satisfied, Musha'f said to Mhammad.

Ballistic missiles are offensive weapons, and Iraq is belligerent, and if there is a conflict with Pakistan's interests, it may bring trouble to Pakistan.

Mhammad shook his head: "Of course not, Iraq's most advanced ballistic missile has a range of only 600 kilometers, and at most it will hit Tehran, Iran, which is far from us." ”

Iraq's military-industrial technology has developed slowly, they lack sufficient scientific researchers, and they lack a systematic research process. For example, North Korea has invested almost all of its national strength in the development of ballistic missiles, and it can be regarded as developing medium-range ballistic missiles, and the accuracy is quite poor.

At most, Iraq grafted the scud together and became Hussein missiles, and such a level of missile industry could not threaten Pakistan at all.

"Moreover, we have modified the guidance system for Iraq, and the electronic equipment on it can be used in civilian products." Mhammad said.

Civilian products can greatly reduce manufacturing costs, Pakistan can get more profits, and at the same time, when testing, it can also achieve the required accuracy, so that Iraq is satisfied.

However, it is impossible to carry out large-scale electromagnetic interference on the battlefield all the time, and only during combat will there be electromagnetic interference, mainly against the enemy's communications and radar equipment.

Therefore, as long as Pakistan is aware of the weakness of Iraq's improved missiles, it can release electromagnetic interference if it threatens its own side. Makes the missile lose its accuracy.

"By the way, how is our ground-based long-range air defense system going?" Mhammad suddenly remembered this and asked Musha'af.

Pakistan's air defense is focused on the sea, and by mapping Patriot missiles, a shipborne Friendship Shield system has been developed. At the same time, simplifying on this system, using an on-board chassis, turns into a land-based air defense system.

"The project is progressing well, and two live-fire targets have already been carried out." Musha'af said.

As president, there are many projects that Mhammad needs to pay attention to, and it is impossible to cover them all, and this land-based air defense system has never been asked.

"Good. Then we'll check it out tomorrow. Mhammad said.

Ground-based anti-aircraft missile systems! When Mhammad and his entourage arrived at the research institute in Quetta, which is part of the Tower of Babel's high-tech center, they had already seen the anti-aircraft missile system deployed in the field at the shooting range.

"President Hammad, welcome to our Quetta Institute." The project leader, 40-year-old Laval, said.

This is the first time the president has been here, and he has come to inspect the work! Laval was very excited. He studied in the United States in his early years, and after finishing college at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, he joined Lockheed. After that, after the news of Pakistan's victory over India. He decided to return to China and entered the field of scientific research in Pakistan, and then the Tower of Babel, which he took charge of two years ago.

In fact, the project is quite simple, in the case of the maturity of the shipborne air defense system. It's too easy to develop into a land-based system! Moreover, the industry of Pakistan is developing rapidly, there is a suitable off-road wheeled chassis for him to choose from.

"Our field area air defense system, it looks pretty good." Mhammad said as he looked at the cars not far away.

All of them are off-road heavy truck chassis with the same type of 8*8 chassis. These chassis are not Pakistan-made NG80 chassis, although this chassis is also excellent, but compared to the military, it is still a little small, these chassis, are imported from the Minsk Automobile Plant "tractor" chassis technology manufacturing.

From the outside, it has a typical rough appearance of Maozi, the front cab is very similar to that of a ballistic missile launcher, and the back, there are four thick cylinders, which are very similar to the appearance of Maozi's S300 system.

"These are our anti-aircraft missile launchers, in general, one launch company has six launchers, 24 anti-aircraft missiles." Rawal said to Mhammad: "If it is an important ground air defense, we can form a firing battalion with four firing companies. ”

This kind of anti-aircraft missile is mainly used for regional air defense to protect the security of important targets.

"Here is our guidance radar vehicle, which uses the same phased array radar as the Friendship Shield, searching, tracking, locking, and guidance, and this radar can be all realized." Lawal looked at Mhammad and then looked at another car, on which a large planar radar was unfurled, all of which were field camouflage.

Guidance radar car! There are also command vehicles, power supply vehicles, the entire anti-aircraft missile system, which are so huge and rugged.

"We have a high ability to deal with targets, we can deal with up to twenty-four targets at the same time, as long as they are all within our radar scanning area, we use a highly maneuverable field chassis, if necessary, we can also change to a tracked chassis, and the maneuverability is even better." Lawal said to Mhammad.

Mhammad nodded, born from the ship-based air defense system, the prototype is an excellent Patriot missile, and now the performance of this air defense missile can fully meet the indicators set at the beginning, but...

"Our anti-aircraft missile system, can it be antimissile?" Mhammad asked: "Anti-ballistic missiles? ”

Anti-ballistic missiles! When Pakistan had just fooled the United States and equipped it with Patriot missiles, it conducted an experiment with anti-ballistic missiles, and as a result, the Soviets gave up the idea of using ballistic missiles to attack Pakistan. Unfortunately, the experiment at that time was completely cheating, knowing in advance the various orbits of ballistic missiles, and carefully designing a close encounter.

Anti-ballistic missiles are difficult, they fly at a high speed, have a short time, and fall almost overhead, resulting in a small launch window.

"Mr. President, do you mean Star Wars in the United States?" Laval asked.

In order to counter the ballistic missiles of the Soviets, the United States carried out the Star Wars program, which has been carried out for more than ten years, and the propaganda is very good, but the actual effect is known to everyone to be fantastic.

The United States tried in vain to construct a strong shield to block the ballistic missiles of the Soviets, but unfortunately, theoretically speaking, it could, but the technical problems it faced in practice were far from being solved by the United States now. Even in the 21 st century, the work of the US anti-missile system is still unstable.

However, what the Americans wanted to stop was the intercontinental ballistic missile launched by the Soviet Union, which re-entered the atmosphere at a speed of up to Mach 20. What Mhammad needs is to stop tactical ballistic missiles with a range of several hundred kilometers.

"It's not Star Wars, as long as it can intercept tactical missiles." Mhammad said that tactical missiles, such as Scud missiles, have a maximum speed of only about Mach 5 at the end, so it is naturally much less difficult to intercept.

In this era, in fact, there are already many missiles available, such as the Patriot of the United States, in the Gulf War of 91 years in history, began to shine and intercept Scud missiles, which was once boasted by the United States that the probability of interception was as high as 90 percent. And the Soviet S-300 missile, at the beginning of its development, was required to have the ability to intercept ballistic missiles. The S-83V1 equipped with the Army in 83 was equipped with only the smaller-range 9M83 missiles and other corresponding supporting equipment, and the types of targets intercepted included aircraft, cruise missiles and short-range tactical ballistic missiles such as "Scud" and "Lance". In 88, it was equipped with the 9M82 missile with a larger range and its supporting equipment, and a new system of two types of missiles and two types of launch units was adopted, which could deal with the "Pershing" medium-range tactical ballistic missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and jamming aircraft patrolling at a distance of 100 kilometers.

It's 92 years now, and Pakistan has close ties with the West, so it can get advanced electronic equipment from the West and intercept a Scud missile, which should be on the agenda.

"Tactical missiles?" Laval thought for a while and said: "Theoretically, it is possible, as long as our radar finds the target, the signal processing ability is fast enough, we can calculate the interception trajectory and intercept the opponent's missile, but we must be able to find the target first, we had better have early warning satellites." ”

AWACS satellites! In the process of intercepting the US Scud missile, it is also first discovered through the satellite that the missile takes off, and then it is reported to the rear to gain time for the Patriot missile system to intercept it.

This is a standard step, however, the current Pakistan has no ability to launch early warning satellites at all, and the road to space is still far away, and the only possible export to Pakistan's Huaxia, at this time, early warning satellite technology, I am afraid that it is not as good as Pakistan.

Early warning satellites, there is no need to count on it.

"If we don't have early warning satellites, we'd better have long-range early warning radars." Laval continued.

Long-range early warning radar is also an important system for detecting ballistic missiles, such as the United States' pave claw long-range early warning radar, which can detect a distance of thousands of kilometers and strive for a longer early warning time.

This kind of long-range early warning radar is a phased array system, and Pakistan has already mastered the core of the phased array radar, and it should not be difficult to develop this kind of long-range early warning radar.

Through long-range early warning radar, and then the use of early warning aircraft and other equipment, early detection and early warning can also be achieved.

"In the next stage, we will immediately start research on anti-ballistic missiles, and we will certainly live up to President Mumad's expectations." Laval assured Mhammad. (To be continued......)
