Everyone is gearing up for the next round of conflict in Afghanistan, the Soviets, the Afghans, the British, the Americans, all the countries that have a stake in this war or do not have a stake in this war are silently waiting for a new flashpoint...

Shepard is no exception, but he prefers to take the initiative to be this flashpoint, after all, for Afghanistan, he has made a lot of preparations!

Because of some direct reasons that cannot be said, the Saudi side is a little taboo about in-depth cooperation with the United States, but there is no such taboo for Shepard personally, after all, the other party is really helping them.

Not long ago, he also brought together Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and China to build a new explosives factory in Pakistan to assemble a cheap unguided rocket.

This thing is the favorite earthen rocket of the Middle East in later generations, using a one-piece shell casting, filled with explosives and propulsion devices, this weapon has almost no technical content, can be done by Pakistani workers with simple training, and the parts are also ready-made, the rocket shell is ordered directly from China, although the other party's steel output has not yet taken off at the moment, but it is easy to meet the needs of foreign businessmen.

Not to mention, this kind of shell doesn't need to be very strong steel, just make sure that it doesn't explode in the air after launching.

This rocket is more rudimentary than the 107 rocket, but it is also cheaper, and the most important thing is the production, although the 107 rocket is also quite numerous, but due to transportation conditions, it needs to be produced from China and then transported to the Quetta airport in Pakistan.

The number of rockets is only 1,800 at a time, and the Afghan guerrillas have to use up dozens or even hundreds of them in a sneak attack, because the horror of rocket artillery is not in the ammunition, but in the amount of projection.

In World War II, the Soviets first launched Katyusha rocket launchers, with seven guns at once, targeting the Orsha railway station, where the Germans had stockpiled a lot of equipment.

The volley of rocket artillery instantly reduced the entire railway station to powder, melted the metal, and turned the earth into a scorched earth.

After that, every time the Katyusha was dispatched, it was in groups, and the German *** team was dizzy, and the Germans concentrated their own smoke-breather rocket launchers, which were also very terrifying.

So, there is no point in having a small number of rocket artillery!

The main goal of this kind of shoddy unguided rocket is that it is a large amount of unguided rockets, and the range does not need to be far, three or four kilometers is enough, or even two kilometers is not impossible, and the guerrillas can be deployed in the mountains and then fire hundreds of missiles at Soviet military bases or strongholds in one go.

You don't have to worry about whether you can hit the target or not, and you don't care how many you hit, just remember that as long as enough rockets are fired, there will definitely be one that can hit the target!

And this thing doesn't necessarily have to kill and destroy anything, but focuses on a day and night harassment, in the morning the Soviets are washing their faces and brushing their teeth and preparing for breakfast, shoot him hundreds of rounds, at noon the Soviets are, shoot him hundreds of rounds, and at night the Soviets are sleeping, and shoot him a few hundred rounds, this combination harasses, just listening to the air raid siren, the Soviet soldiers have to have a nervous breakdown.

Even home-made rockets can be combined with 107 rocket artillery, for example, a few rounds of home-made rocket attacks, this weapon can not play an effective attack on well-defended Soviet positions, and when the Soviets are accustomed to being careless, and then use 107 to carry out a round of bombing, the effect is naturally a bargain!

The Saudis paid for it, Pakistan contributed its efforts, and China shipped the goods, all three parties benefited, and even these rocket assemblers did not have to worry about losing their jobs, and even continued to work seamlessly after the Soviets left.

And in addition to home-made rockets, Shepard did not forget to engage in some high-tech things in the United States that are somewhat sophisticated for ordinary companies, that is, drones!

Because of the experience of later generations, Shepard began to establish his own drone company very early, and even he did not forget to cooperate with AAI, although there are still some difficulties to overcome in the research of new drones, but there is no problem in the transformation of old drones.

After combining many products in this industry, Shepard finally finalized the Firebee drone with a large number of tubes

！

This is a multi-purpose drone developed by Ryan Airlines, propelled by a turbojet engine, which can perform reconnaissance, attack and other tasks, and can be automatically recovered according to the program, and the United States used a lot of this UAV in the Vietnam War, some of which even flew to the north of Vietnam and fell into the hands of the northern neighbor.

Shepard chose this drone mainly because the production is mature enough and the cost is not high, and the three-meter size allows it to carry enough explosives.

That's right, Shepard is going to turn this thing into a self-detonating drone!

The Firebee UAV uses a lot of electronic parts internally because of the work requirements, these parts can also be removed, loaded with more explosives, and the original turbojet engine can also be reduced, because the Firebee UAV can fly at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour, and the range can reach 3,000 kilometers.

It can even be scaled down to the size of about one or two meters.

The CIA was also very interested in Shepard's idea, and even offered to provide him with more technical support, and even the general technical team was involved.

However, it is a pity that due to technical problems, FPV suicide drones that are no more than the size of a laptop in later generations are still out of reach, otherwise, Shepard will directly invest in building factories and sell them all over the world at hundreds of prices in one go!

After all, at this time, the anti-drone technology of various countries was not very advanced, and all kinds of tanks and infantry combat vehicles did not have the awareness of defending against suicide drone attacks.

It will be very popular to sell to customers in war-torn areas.

But it doesn't matter, because after completing the final tests, these suicide drones will be sent to Afghanistan, where they will be tested in real combat, and as for the targets, it will naturally trouble the Soviets!

After all, scientific and technological progress always has a price, and Shepard will seize the trend of the times at any cost, because he doesn't have to pay the price at all!

As for the cost of drones, Shepard has also found a home, and the big dog in Saudi Arabia is a very good wronged man, and these guys will surely be happy to accept some new toys!
