"The Military Commission has issued a spirit that says that you need to build a new destroyer, and let us provide technical support." Mr. Pan sat down and said to Mhammad: "So, I won't hide it, our new destroyer is indeed in the design stage." ”

The brigade class is still under construction, but the new destroyer has indeed begun to be designed, and in later generations, in 88 years, the brigade Shanghai class began to lay the keel, and the design of this warship naturally began two or three years in advance.

"Our negotiations with France are ongoing, and we will introduce France's Sea Sidewinder air defense missile system, TAVITAC combat system, TSR3002 Sea Tiger air/sea search radar and other related equipment to equip our new destroyers." Mr. Pan said: "Our warship has a length of 148m, a width of 16m, a draft of 5.1m, and a length-to-width ratio of 9.25, and the main engine intends to use the American-made LM2500 gas turbine. There are also equipment such as 100 mm guns, and if the Pakistani side wants to, we can simultaneously export the technology to Pakistan and build this warship in Pakistan. ”

Mr. Pan did not lie, after all, the military cooperation between Pakistan and China has developed to a new height.

"Even the Sea Rattlesnake is only an anti-aircraft missile, which is far from enough for the future threat of maritime air defense." "In particular, the ability to resist saturation attacks is even more insufficient. ”

Hearing Mahmad's words, Mr. Pan nodded: "Yes, this is also our last resort, after all, our Haihongqi 61 is outdated and cannot meet the needs." The Sea Rattlesnake, on the other hand, is a technologically advanced and inexpensive product that we can obtain. And you can get the technology at the same time. ”

A very important condition for all kinds of military equipment in China is that it must be able to obtain technology and imitate it by itself. Only by digesting and absorbing oneself can one meet one's own needs, and in later generations, the Sea Rattlesnake was equipped with a variety of warships, which was the result of its own digestion and absorption.

Mhammad has been asking the Americans for Kidd-class destroyers, just because they have taken a fancy to the standard anti-aircraft missiles loaded on them, but unfortunately, the Americans have been stubbornly refusing to let go, if the Americans export this destroyer to Pakistan. The first thing Pakistan did was to copy the standard missiles above.

Only an anti-aircraft missile system similar to the American Aegis system has been developed that can resist saturation strikes.

"Our Pakistani warships intend to introduce the American Sea Sparrow ship-to-air missile system." Mhammad said to Mr. Pan: "For specific details, we will have special technical personnel to negotiate with you." ”

Sea Sparrow ship-to-air missiles! Mr. Pan's eyes were also bright, the maximum range of the sea rattlesnake was only 13 kilometers, and the sea sparrow. then more than twenty kilometers, and. The latest type of Sea Sparrow missile has a strong attack capability against sea-skimming missiles.

Now, with its relationship with the United States, if it wants to, it can buy from the United States, but the price offered by the United States is very high. It is certainly quite high, and besides, the United States only exports finished products, but not technology, for its own side. This also is unacceptable, which means that if the time comes for a war and the air defense missiles are rapidly consumed, the other side will have to buy them from the United States, and if the United States turns around and cannot buy them, it will become scrap metal.

The tragedy of the Argentine Navy cannot be repeated on its own side.

"Of course, as long as we get it, it is equivalent to you having it, and we hope that we can work together to study and eat this missile thoroughly." Mhammad said.

Mhammad's words made Mr. Pan overjoyed, this sentence is very correct, what Pakistan has, is equivalent to what it has.

At the beginning, Pakistan had just been equipped with the F-16, and its own side could go over to visit this advanced third-generation aircraft.

The relationship between the two sides can no longer be described as friends, as if they were comrades in the trenches.

"It's only temporary." "We have to make great strides to develop an air defense system similar to the U.S. Aegis system, consisting of four-sided phased array radars, and equip our warships to be able to deal with future threats," Mhammad said. ”

Mhammad's words made everyone stunned for a moment, studying a system similar to the American Aegis system?

When the Soviets began to advocate the theory of missile victory, they believed that the Americans' aircraft carrier formation had no role at all, and that in the face of omnipotent missiles, the aircraft carrier formation was a live target.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed many kinds of anti-ship missiles, including high-power ultra-long-range supersonic anti-ship missiles, and the outstanding representative is the P-700 Granit long-range anti-ship missile, which is codenamed SS-N-19 shipbuilding, which is an anti-ship missile with a range of more than 500 kilometers.

When dozens of missiles flew over, it was a huge test for the US fleet air defense system, and in order to cope with this threat, the US Navy at the end of the 60s believed that the reaction time, firepower, and operational accuracy of the existing warships in various environments were not enough to cope with the threat of a saturation attack by a large number of Soviet anti-ship missiles. So he put forward a proposal for an "advanced surface missile system", which was named the air early warning and ground integration system in December 69, and the English abbreviation happened to be the Aegis in Greek mythology, so it was called the Aegis system.

The use of four-sided SPY-1 phased array radar, can monitor all targets in the air in an all-round way, at the same time, through guò efficient computer solving, guide their own missiles, because it is vertically equipped in the MK41 launch unit, the launch efficiency is also very high, can attack a large number of targets at the same time.

It was not until 81 that this system was officially developed, and in 83, it was equipped with a new missile cruiser, and after years of development, the Aegis system has the function of intercepting ballistic missiles, which is very powerful.

And even in later generations, there are almost no similar systems. Europe has directly imported the Aegis system from the United States, saving the high cost of its own development, even the Aster-30 anti-aircraft missile researched in Europe did not use a four-sided phased array radar.

As for the current Soviet Union, even the nuclear-powered ballistic missile cruiser Kirov-class is equivalent to superimposing various anti-aircraft missiles together, and it has not achieved efficient unified command of computers and joint air defense. It's just divided into three levels: far, middle and near, each defending itself.

There is only the Chinese Aegis used in China, which can be regarded as having a prototype similar to Aegis, but unfortunately, it was already twenty years later.

Now that Mahmad has proposed an Aegis system similar to that of the Americans, how can everyone not be shocked?

What the navy lacks the most is the air defense problem, and if this system is completed, the air defense problem will be solved, and it will stand at the peak of the world, which is simply worth celebrating.

It's a pity, it's too difficult, the country has been building a Hongqi 61 by itself, and it has been doing it for 20 years, and the new destroyers, a large amount of equipment have been purchased, and wanting to develop an Aegis system by yourself is tantamount to a fool's dream. Even when he slept the most soundly, Mr. Pan never had a dream of having such an air defense system.

If it was not the President of Pakistan who was talking in front of him, but someone else, I am afraid that he would have been reprimanded by the leaders present. Don't be ambitious, be down-to-earth!

The first problem is the four-sided phased array radar, the technology of the Americans is quite advanced, and they can manufacture that kind of radar, and only the phased array radar can achieve the goal of resisting saturation attacks. Although there are also in China, they are large mountain-like radars that are used to provide long-range early warning.

There is also the central computer system, which is the core of defense, and with the domestic technological strength, how can it be possible?

"We in Pakistan now have the US Patriot missile system, and we can engage in reverse development on the basis of this Patriot missile system." Mhammad said.

If you want to get the Aegis system of the US Navy, there is no door, and in later generations, the first foreign user of the Aegis system is an island country, and it is also after the nineties.

The United States does not even want to provide Pakistan with a Kidd-class because it is afraid that Pakistan will obtain medium-range anti-aircraft missiles.

However, due to the threat of ballistic missiles from the Soviet Union, in order to help Pakistan fight the Soviets, the United States provided Pakistan with several sets of Patriot missile systems, which were originally operated by the Americans, but as a result, after a period of time, they were gradually liberalized, and the Pakistanis could also operate them, and the Americans only needed to take their salaries and return to the big cities to be chic.

Mhammad has long wanted to hit the idea of these Patriot missiles.

In the United States, due to the system, their navy and army do not intersect with each other, and the army's Patriot system has nothing to do with the navy's Aegis system, but it is also very possible to transform the road-based Patriot into a sea-based missile.

At the other pole of the Cold War, the Soviet Union. Almost all the navy's shipborne anti-aircraft missiles were modified on land-based missiles, even the Chinese Aegis of later generations was developed on the basis of absorbing the land-based S-300, and the Haihongqi-9 is the naval version of Hongqi-9.

The Patriot missile also uses phased array radar and the same box-type missile, digests and absorbs the technology of the Patriot missile, and develops a similar system of its own in ten years! Ten years of sharpening a sword! (To be continued......)
