The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Liu Tao calculated.

There are 70 sets of ‘Aegis-0’ air defense missile systems, each set costs 40 million US dollars, which is 2.8 billion US dollars.

Even after deducting taxes, Panshan Group can make about 2.5 billion US dollars.

The more advanced the weapon, the higher the profit!

A complete set of ‘Aegis-0’ air defense missile system plus the matching missiles is about 300,000 US dollars!

The profit has reached dozens of times.

70 sets of air defense missile systems, that also means there are 1,680 missiles.

The missiles, launchers, etc. are the result of cooperation between Panshan Group and China Aerospace Corporation.

Liu Tao introduced the ‘Aegis-1’ air defense missile, which is a surface-to-air air defense missile, while the ‘Aegis-2’ air defense missile is a ship-to-air air defense missile, so it is not necessary, unless the Type 054 frigate is sold later.

"Everyone must be very curious about this air defense missile system, so let me introduce it to you." Liu Tao introduced with a smile: "This is the 'Aegis-1' medium-range air defense missile system. The missile is 4.47 meters long, 340 mm in diameter, 1.07 meters in wingspan, and weighs 610 kilograms. It uses inertial/radio command + active radar guidance. The maximum firing height is 20,000 meters, the maximum range is 125 kilometers, and the maximum speed is 2.5 Mach."

The export version of 'Aegis-1' is a real medium-range air defense missile system!

The most common air defense missile in the world is the Soviet S-300 air defense missile. This is the third-generation air defense missile developed by the Soviet Union. People are also accustomed to calling it SA-10 or SAM-10 air defense missile.

The S-300 air defense missile has a range of more than 150 kilometers and a firing height of 25,000~30,000 meters. The first model was not put into service until 1981.

The background of the development of this weapon is that in the 1960s, the United States began to plan a three-dimensional air strike combination consisting of cruise missiles, low-altitude penetration of bombers and theater ballistic missiles. The threats faced by the Soviet Union's national air defense operations have gradually changed from high-altitude supersonic penetration of enemy aircraft to low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude supersonic penetration and cruise missile attacks.

Faced with the dual threats of US cruise missiles and theater ballistic missiles, the Soviet Union's original "Volga" S-75 air defense missile system (NATO code name SA-2) and "Vega" S-200 air defense missile system (NATO code name SA-5) can no longer meet the needs of national air defense, so the Soviet military decided to develop a new air defense system with more advanced performance to replace them.

The S-300 air defense missile system is advanced, but the problem is that the Soviet Union has just equipped this medium-range air defense missile system, and it is impossible to export it to other countries.

Even now, this S-300 air defense missile is only equipped with the Soviet army, and even the Warsaw Pact army is not equipped with it.

Now the performance of the 'Aegis-1' medium-range air defense missile system has reached world-class level. Except for Liu Tao, no other country will export it.

Liu Tao's introduction made the eyes of people from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Libya shine.

Even though they had some guesses in their hearts before, when Liu Tao said it, their eyes still glowed and their hearts beat faster.

At this time, they all felt crazy. The Chinese were really poor and crazy. They were willing to export even this advanced medium-range air defense missile.

But when they were crazy, they were even more happy.

Good!

Very good!

Very good!

If the Chinese were not poor and crazy, how could they have the opportunity to buy this advanced medium-range air defense missile.

They all realized that if they missed this village, there would be no such store.

Who knows whether China will allow the export of this medium-range air defense missile when it develops.

Most likely it will not!

"Liu, how much is this 'Aegis-1' air defense missile?" Haller asked impatiently, and he was already drooling at this time.

This means that as long as this medium-range air defense missile is obtained, the ability to guard air security will be greatly enhanced.

"How much?" Hassan's eyes glowed.

He has realized the significance of this 'Aegis-1'.

As long as the 'Aegis-1' air defense missile system is obtained, it means that the whole of Israel is within the radar search range and the defense range of air defense missiles.

It is no exaggeration to say that any air force base in Israel is under surveillance at any time, and any Israeli air force aircraft taking off will face the risk of being destroyed.

If the war breaks out again, there is no doubt that all Israeli air forces that take off will be destroyed at the first time, so that the strongest air force will suffer a devastating blow and lose air superiority.

Without air superiority, the strength of the Israeli army will be greatly reduced.

Syria has no money, but he can get money, and the white-robed bearded brothers behind him will be happy to pay the money.

Last year's fifth Middle East war severely taught the Middle East bully a lesson, but it really made Syria show its face.

Similarly, Syria also received a lot of aid.

These Aegis-0 and Aegis-1 anti-aircraft missiles are more powerful than the SAM anti-aircraft missiles.

Al's heartbeat was also accelerating.

"Damn, if there were Aegis-1 anti-aircraft missiles, the Persian F-14 would probably not dare to take off again!" Al roared in his heart, "Why would the Persians fight against my great Babylonian Empire? Without air superiority, their tanks and armored forces are no match for us!"

"With the 'Aegis-1' air defense missile, the air defense capability of our great Babylonian Empire will be greatly enhanced!" Al has decided to purchase it no matter what.

Hadi also hurriedly asked: "Liu, you are an excellent arms dealer, tell me how much it is, as long as it is not too outrageous, we Libya want it!"

Libya has a land area of ​​1.76 million square kilometers, but the population of Libya is only about three million, mainly concentrated in a few cities.

This means that with the 'Aegis-0', the 'Aegis-1' air defense missile system, and the Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, Libya's air defense force will be terribly powerful, and guarding the sky will become impregnable.

Planes from European and American countries will no longer be able to come and go as they please, and drop a few bombs and missiles when they are unhappy.

Since what happened in March, Libya has approached the Soviet Union to purchase the Soviet Union's S-300 air defense missile system, but the Soviet Union did not agree at all, even if Libya offered a sky-high price, they were unwilling.

As a result, Liu Tao directly took out an advanced medium-range air defense missile.

Even though Hadi had guessed that the missile on the launcher was very long before, when it was really confirmed, Hadi was very determined in his heart. He must purchase the "Aegis-1" air defense missile system no matter what.

Libya now needs the "Aegis-1" air defense missile system too much.

Without the "Aegis-1" air defense missile system, Libyans can't sleep peacefully, because no one knows whether fighter jets in the sky will come quietly and drop bombs and missiles on their heads while they are sleeping.

In March, American fighter jets launched missiles in Libya. This kind of show of force made the Libyans very angry, but they were powerless and also felt more threatened.

This "Aegis-1" air defense missile system is simply a magic weapon specially built for Libya to treat insomnia.
