The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

In the previous bombing of Jakarta Port, the largest aerial bomb in the hands of the Botswana Air Force was the FAB-5000 with a 40-year history and a weight of 5 tons.

A few super-heavy bombs were thrown, directly blasting a pile of frigates and patrol ships in the Jakarta military port into debris in the water.

At that time, the group had already paid for the development of new super-heavy bombs in cooperation with relevant Russian agencies, but the life and death did not catch up, so the FAB-5000 with only a few years of validity was used.

Fortunately, although the FAB-5000 high-resistance super-heavy aerial bomb is "smaller", it is also a big guy with more than 800 kilograms more than the British "Tallbox" super bomb in World War II.

Unguided and high resistance endow it with better bombing accuracy. In addition, the crew members have rich experience. The bombing accuracy reaches an astonishing radius of 15 meters. It directly hits a circle with a diameter of 30 meters, completing the task very well.

Now that the new goods arrive, it's just a test.

This would be in the hangar, Zhang Nan, brother-in-law Xiang Weirong, and Pavel stood there watching the excitement.

The armorers were careful to reload the bombs. It was not that they were afraid that the bomb would fall and explode. They were just worried that they would bump into this big guy.

The "White Swan" had only loaded this stuff during testing in Russia before, and the live ammunition had only been tested twice when it was loaded. The guys are familiar with this guy without loading ordinary bombs or cruise missiles.

This will not explode. Even if you use a big hammer to smash the three fuzes on the bomb that looks like a super-large LPG tank, the 7.1 tons of new explosives in its belly will definitely not explode.

This is a super bomb filled with the latest formulation of thermo-pressure explosive. The last time it was tested in Russia, the test data obtained was approximately close to the explosive power of 45 tons of TNT explosive.

With an absolute kill radius of at least 300 meters, a plain terrain, a single piece of nearly 300,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of at least 40 football fields, all animals on the surface that are larger than cockroaches will die!

Is it really only a 300-meter kill radius?

Cockroach 300 meters, it should be far more than people!

The Soviet army once used a thermobaric bomb that was much less powerful than this guy in Afghanistan. As a result, people, all domestic animals, and rats on the ground within a 400-meter radius were extinct.

Erase Block is actually a small town with a large village, and it couldn't be better to use this thing.

How much does this guy cost?

In the Soviet era, this new type of explosive technology was almost completely mature and could be used without improvement, but the power was not developed to the extreme.

Many people may not believe it. This time, less than 10 million U.S. dollars of continued scientific research funding has been eliminated. The actual cost of a single piece of this big guy is only more than 20,000 U.S. dollars.

The fuze is a mature batch product, and the thin shell of the shell is hot-rolled and welded. The explosive is less than 1,500 US dollars a ton, and the cost is really that little.

The purchase price is thirty-five thousand, and the Russian manufacturer makes a little bit. As for the partner, the research funding is given by the joint force.

In fact, it doesn't take so much money at all. It's just the distribution of benefits. The technology is almost mature. The craftsmanship and ballistic calculation of this bomb are not too high-tech.

Russia didn't build such a big guy before, not because it couldn't be built, because it had the technology, but because there was no place to use it, there was no need to build it, and there was no money!

In the basement of the base here, fifty of this type of "Father of Bombs" were stored. As for the "old model" that Guan Xingquan said in the confidential phone call, there were also a total of 80 in the basement!

The new guys have allowed Russian manufacturers to continue to produce slowly. As the quantity increases, the average price after the research fee is spread will also come down.

At this meeting, Xiang Weirong joked and said: "I see your eyes are shining, why do you like these big guys so that people can turn out all the empty iron shells and fill them in."

This of course was addressed to Zhang Nan.

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "Last time I didn't have that 9-ton thing, I thought it was all used up. I always felt that something was missing.

Now it’s good. There are both new and old bombs. It’s not that hundreds of empty shells of FAB-5000 have been found, rust-removed and refurbished, and they are all filled with explosives, which can last for 40 years.

We have three long-range bombers in our hands, all of which can be used for decades. In the next ten years to consolidate a stable enough country, we will have to use these big guys.

Cheap and easy to use, those cruise missiles are too expensive, and when the existing guided bombs are always used up, I am afraid that I will feel distressed if I use them too much in the future.

It is impossible to buy new scrap iron prices in the future, and it will burn money at market prices.

Insufficient accuracy can make up for it. Anyway, a little collateral damage in Africa is not a problem.

These kinds of big guys here are non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction. It saves money and is easy to use. It's a great deterrent, and it's okay to save more.

By the way, in the future, we can ask Russia about buying new planes and we can discuss it slowly. We will have them, and they will also sell them in the future, but the relationship has to remain entangled.

The technology of the strategic bomber is too high. When we are old, if the group can build a white swan class, thank God..."

The self-made Tu-160 strategic bomber is definitely more technically difficult than sending people to space and then returning safely!

It's also difficult for more than one grade!

As for the old bomb that Zhang Nan said was not the FAB-5000, it was the FAB-9000M-54 high-explosive aerial bomb that had not been purchased before.

I thought that the Soviet army was almost used up in Afghanistan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The remaining few pieces have reached the expiration date.

The purchasers at the time heard that the Maozi Ministry of National Defense said that the finished products of this model were gone, and some were almost out of date, so they didn’t continue to investigate. Anyway, the slightly smaller FAB-5000 is enough, and the above did not say that it is certain. The kind of super big guy who looks outdated.

The contact person at the Ministry of Defense of Mao Zi didn't have all the inventory data of all the military warehouses in Russia.

After bombing Jakarta, I learned that there are FAB-9000M-54 bombs in an almost unguarded aerial bomb warehouse in Russia.

The production of aerial bombs in the Soviet era is different from that of the United States. In order to prepare for World War III, all weapons have been made crazy since the early 1950s.

The inventory of weapons like aerial bombs that will be used in huge quantities in 100% of the world wars is astronomical.

But bombs have an expiration date, generally only 40 years, after which the explosives loaded inside will slowly become unstable.

How to solve this problem?

Simple, the Soviet military industry department came up with a solution: prepare the shell first, store a part of it, and canned explosives when needed. The assembly line produces very fast, and then it can be used after the fuze is installed.

As a result, a very strange scene appeared: Twenty years later, the world saw Su-30 and Su-34 mounted a large number of densely packed, outdated styles, and even the outer shell of the 1954 FAB-250. The flight is now on the battlefield in Syria.

The inventory is too large, the shell can be used, and I don’t even bother to remove the rust on the outside, fill it with explosives, install a fuze, and it’s not as powerful as a new low-resistance bomb!

Very awkward operation.
