"Xiao, can you get other missiles?" Coming out of this lab and into a conference room, Mhammad asked Shostakovich.

Hearing Mhammad's words, he had just boasted that he could even get a spaceship, but at this time, Shostakovich looked embarrassed and said: "Mr. President, I'm working hard, but the Soviets are looking at that thing very closely, and it's not easy to get it." It was the most powerful anti-ship missile in the Soviets' arsenal, with a range of more than 500 kilometers, and many warheads were nuclear. ”

The firing range is more than 500 km! What Muhammad wanted most was, of course, the most powerful anti-ship missile in the Soviet era, the P-700 Granite long-range anti-ship missile, which NATO codenamed SS-N-19 shipwreck (also known as a shipwreck)

This missile comes from the Cherome Design Bureau, and the anti-ship cruise missiles designed by this design bureau are specifically aimed at US aircraft carriers and their formations, such as the P-6/SS-N-3 missile developed in the 50s, with a speed of Mach 1.4 and a range of 460 kilometers. The P-500/SS-N-12 "Basalt" missile, developed in the 60s, has a speed of Mach 2.5 and a range of 550 km.

The current Granite missile is a third-generation specialized anti-aircraft carrier missile, which began to be developed in the early 70s, finalized and produced in 76, and began to be equipped on ships in 79. It is mainly equipped with the Soviet Kirov-class cruisers, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, and the Oscar-class nuclear submarines. These anti-ship missiles, all with a range of more than 500 powers, are aircraft carrier nemesis specially tailored for American aircraft carriers outside the circle of fire of US aircraft carriers.

Mhammad hopes to get such a missile and copy it, but now it seems to be a bit difficult.

"However, when I came back this time. I have an extra bonus. "I sponsored a female student who wanted to study in Europe, and her father was very grateful and met with me, and I learned that this man was in the Alekseev Central Design Bureau, and he was an engineer of the Caspian monster!" ”

Caspian Sea Monster! Suddenly. Mhammad felt his eyelids jump, and that's good news!

When the aircraft flies at a low altitude and in the process of take-off and landing, the ground produces an effect that reduces the wing-induced drag, increases the lift-to-drag ratio, and significantly increases the lift of the aircraft, which is called the ground effect, when the wing height from the ground is 15% of the wing length, the ground effect is the most obvious, and the aircraft is like being gently held up by a mysterious force, so this ground effect is also called the "hand of God".

After the discovery of this ground effect back then. Many countries have carried out research, but unfortunately, after three minutes of heat, only the Soviet Union persisted, and the Alekseev Central Design Bureau of the Soviet Union specialized in the design of ground-effect vehicles using the wing-ground effect. After more than 20 years of continuous development, the project has finally matured. The design and construction of the Volga plant began, flight tests were carried out in the Caspian Sea. This kind of thing, like both a ship and an airplane, can fly at a speed of 300 knots on the water, comparable in speed to a helicopter, and comparable to a cargo ship in terms of volume. Transporting hundreds of soldiers at a time. That's all trivial.

It was not until the eighties that Western reconnaissance satellites discovered this ground-effect vehicle in the Caspian Sea, giving it the nickname Caspian Sea monster.

In later generations, ground-effect aircraft have not been put into practical use, but. Mhammad knew that once this thing was put into use, its value was immeasurable.

After all, this thing is transported in large quantities and at a high speed, and in the Gulf War in later generations, if the Americans had this kind of thing, they could have deployed their troops to the Gulf more quickly.

Moreover, because its flight altitude is on the sea surface, it is difficult to be detected by shipborne radar at a long distance, so it can also be transformed into a sharp weapon for attacking aircraft carriers!

"Good, well done!" "How is the engineer doing? ”

"It's not going well." Shostakovich said: "Because of the reforms of the Soviet Union, this project of their design bureau was cut by the military. Without the support of the project, their design bureau did not have the funding from above, and it was very difficult. ”

Chopped up! The Caspian Monster project, historically, was stopped at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the project was almost considered a success, and now, although the Soviet Union has not collapsed, but this project has been cut due to the lack of support from the superiors!

If there was still a higher level of funding, they could have lived a little better, but now, they can only live a hard life.

The engineer's daughter wanted to study in Europe, and he definitely couldn't come up with such a large amount of money.

"Okay, that's for the best!" Mhammad said to Shostakovich: "You continue to contact them, it is better to bring a few more engineers over, whatever conditions they want, we will meet them!" If you can bring the development materials here, then we are more welcome! ”

"Yes." Shostakovich replied.

Shostakovich accepted the assignment and left, and Mhammad continued to inspect the high-tech center of Babel, listening to the reports of experts on a new project in an office on the third floor.

"The most critical technology of cruise missiles is terrain matching technology and small turbofan engines with low fuel consumption." The project leader, Pakistani expert Sterling, said.

Cruise missile! In addition to ballistic missiles, cruise missiles are even more important, because, cruise missiles are long-range strike forces! Due to the low flight altitude and the difficulty of being detected by the enemy, the United States launched the Gulf War, including a series of subsequent wars, and the first wave of strike force was cruise missiles.

Ballistic missiles refer to the same flight trajectory as ballistics, directly hitting the sky and then falling to the ground, while cruise missiles, just like airplanes, have always been close to the ground for ultra-low-altitude flight, more hidden, moreover, the accuracy of the attack is high, the United States Tomahawk series missiles, the accuracy can be as high as the meter level.

If you want to fly a long distance, such as the American Tomahawk series, a flight distance of thousands of kilometers, you must have a low fuel consumption engine, and if you want high accuracy, you must have terrain matching technology, otherwise, no matter how accurate the inertial navigation device is, it will accumulate over time, and the error will become larger and larger.

"Among them, the terrain matching technology is to draw the height of the terrain into a digital map, and compare it during the flight, which can greatly improve the accuracy." "But now we lack a lot, for example, we need to use satellites to create high-precision digital maps through synthetic aperture models for our cruise missiles," Sterling said. ”

Satellite! If you want to match the terrain, you need to have a matching map, and this map is best drawn by satellites.

Mhammad frowned, now, Pakistan's space exploration has just begun, and it is still very far from the road he has to go to launch a satellite.

"Is there an alternative?" Mhammad asked.

"The alternative way is to use airplanes, but this method is slow, inefficient, and we can't fly in some places."

There is no concept of airspace in outer space, and you can fly through it at will, but if you use airplanes, you will definitely be opposed by the other side if you want to fly over the sky of other countries to map and map digital maps.

"Okay, then we can demonstrate, if the feasibility is high enough, then we will set up our own project to develop a reconnaissance satellite." "It can be launched with the help of a launch vehicle from Huaxia," Mhammad said. ”

Pakistan's carrier rocket technology has not yet been able to achieve the goal of launching satellites for the time being, so it can only turn to Huaxia for help, and now China's Long March series rockets have also begun to go market-oriented and contract foreign launch business.

"The other is a small turbofan engine, we mapped the F107 small turbofan engine in the United States, and on this basis, we developed our own engine for cruise missiles, and everything worked fine in the test." Sterling continued.

The American F107 engine is the engine used in the Tomahawk cruise missile, and in order to get this engine, the Pakistani side also used a lot of connections, and finally with the help of Grumman, it spent a high price to buy one.

The engine used in the cruise missile is disposable, as long as it meets the life of a few hours, the focus is on low fuel consumption and low cost, so it is not very difficult to map and map, and it can be done at the level of Pakistan's aviation industry.

"We have to pay more hardships to independently develop a weapon, and I hope that everyone can overcome difficulties and strive to successfully research and develop our cruise missiles at an early date." As Mhammad said, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how is our GPS module being studied?" ”

Now, the global positioning system of the United States, GPS, has successfully realized the networking, and at the same time began to provide civilian signals, although the accuracy of civilian is a little worse, and will be restricted by the Americans, but it has to be said that the GPS system is indeed a way to greatly improve the accuracy.

Moreover, in order to promote the use of GPS in the world, the Americans are completely open to the civilian aspect, and even provide various parameters to allow other companies to participate in the design of the GPS receiving module circuit, which led to the GPS system quickly becoming a global positioning system, and now, it has also given Hammad a great favor, can get the GPS module without being known by the United States.

"We are researching that this system can be transplanted to our guidance system, and the accuracy will be increased to the order of 10 meters, and we can transplant it to other systems with a little improvement, such as our ordinary falling bombs, plus this system and control system, which can greatly improve the accuracy of hitting."

Hearing this, Mhammad's eyes suddenly lit up, isn't this the JDAM joint attack ammunition commonly used by the US military in later generations? (To be continued......)
