"Xiao, can other missiles be obtained?" Mhamad asked Shostakovic after coming out of this laboratory and entering a conference room.

Hearing Mhamad's words, he just boasted that even spacecraft could be used. At this time, Shostakovic looked puzzled and said, "Mr. President, I am working hard, but the Soviets are very careful and difficult to get that thing. That is the most powerful anti-ship missile in the Soviet arsenal, with a range of more than 500 kilometers, and many of the warheads are nuclear warheads."

The range is more than 500 kilometers! What Mhamad wants most is of course the most awesome anti-ship missile in the Soviet era, the P-type granite long-range anti-ship missile. NATO's code name is SS-N-19 ship destruction (also known as shipwreck)

This missile comes from the Cherome Design Bureau, and the anti-ship cruise missile designed by this design bureau is specifically aimed at US aircraft carriers and their fleets. For example, the p-6/ss-n-3 missile developed in the 1950s, with a speed of Mach 1.4 and a range of 460 kilometers. The p-500/ss-n-12 "Basalt" missile developed in the 1960s, with a speed of Mach 2.5 and a range of 550 kilometers.

The current granite missile is the third generation of specialized anti-aircraft carrier missiles. It began to be developed in the early 1970s, was finalized in 1976, and was equipped to be shipped in 1979. It is mainly equipped with the Soviet Union's Kirov-class cruiser, the USS Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, and the Oscar-class nuclear submarine. These anti-ship missiles have a range of more than 500 power. Outside the firepower circle of the US aircraft carrier, it is an aircraft carrier nemesis specially tailored for US aircraft carriers.

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

"However, when I came back this time, I had an extra gain." Shostakovic said: "I sponsored a female student who wanted to study in Europe. Her father was very grateful. After meeting me, I realized that this man was in the Alexeyev Central Design Bureau and an engineer of the Caspian Monster!"

Caspian Monster! Suddenly, Mhamad felt his eyelids jump, which was good news!

When the aircraft flies at low altitudes and during takeoff and landing, the ground produces an effect that reduces the wing-induced drag, increases the lift-drag ratio, and significantly increases the lift-to-aircraft lift. This is called the ground effect. When the wing is fifteen percent of the wing length of the wing, the ground effect is the most obvious. The aircraft is like being gently lifted up by a mysterious force, and this ground effect is therefore called the "Hand of God".

After discovering this ground effect, many countries conducted research. Unfortunately, three minutes of popularity, a few years later, only the Soviet Union persisted. The Central Design Bureau of the Soviet Union specially designed ground-effect aircraft using the wing-ground effect. It took more than 20 years to carry out the project. The project finally matured and began to be designed and built by the Vol's processing plant, and conducted flight tests in the Caspian Sea. This kind of thing, like a ship and an aircraft, can fly at a speed of 300 knots on the water surface. It is comparable to a helicopter in speed, and its transportation volume is comparable to a cargo ship. It is a slight idea to transport hundreds of soldiers at a time.

It was not until the 1980s that Western reconnaissance satellites discovered this ground-effect aircraft in the Caspian Sea, giving it the nickname of the Caspian monster.

In later generations, ground-effect aircraft have never been put into practical use. However, Mhamad knew that once this thing is put into practical use, its value is really immeasurable.

After all, this thing had a large capacity and fast speed. In the Gulf War in later generations, if the Americans had such things, they could deploy their troops to the Gulf more quickly.

Moreover, since its flight altitude is on the sea surface, it is difficult to detect at long distances by carrier-based radars, so it can also be transformed into a powerful weapon to attack aircraft carriers!

"Okay, good job!" said Mhamad. "How is this engineer now?"

"It's not going well," Shostakovic said: "Because of the Soviet reform, the project of their Design Bureau was cut off by the military. Without the support of the project, their Design Bureau had no funding from above and they were all hard."

Cut off! The Caspian Monster project was stopped in history when the Soviet Union collapsed. At that time, the project was almost successfully developed. Now, although the Soviet Union has not disintegrated, the project has been cut off due to lack of support from superiors!

If there were any funding from superiors, they could live a better life, but now they can only live a hard life.

The engineer's daughter wanted to study in Europe, but he would definitely not be able to get such a large amount of money.

"Okay, this is the best!" Mhamad said to Shostakovic: "You continue to contact them, it is best to bring a few more engineers here. We will meet all the conditions they want! If we can bring research and development materials, we will be even more welcome!"

"Yes." Shostakovic replied.

Shostakovic was on duty and left, Mhamad continued to inspect the Tuntian Tower High-Tech Center, and in an office on the third floor, he listened to the reports of experts on a new project.

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

Cruise missiles! In addition to ballistic missiles, cruise missiles are more important because cruise missiles are long-range strike forces! Due to their low flight altitude, it is difficult to be discovered by the enemy. The United States launched the Gulf War, including a series of wars later. The first wave of strike forces was cruise missiles.

Ballistic missiles refer to the flight trajectory that is like ballistics, directly hitting the sky and then landing on the ground. Cruise missiles, like aircraft, have been flying ultra-low altitudes against the ground, making them more concealed. Moreover, the attack accuracy is high, and the accuracy of the US Tomahawk series missiles can reach meters.

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

"The terrain matching technology is to draw the height of the terrain into a digital map, and compare it during flight, which can greatly improve the accuracy." Sterling said: "However, we lack a lot now. For example, we need to use satellites to draw high-precision digital maps through synthetic aperture mode to provide our cruise missiles with the use of."

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

Mhamad frowned. Now, Pakistan's space exploration has just begun. It is still very far from the road he can take to launch satellites.

"Is there any other alternative?" asked Mhamad.

"The alternative is to use an airplane, but this method is slow and inefficient, and we cannot fly in some places."

Outer space has no concept of airspace and can fly by at will. However, if you use an airplane, you will definitely be opposed by the other party if you want to fly over other countries to survey and map digital maps.

"Okay, then we can make an argument. If the feasibility is high enough, then we will establish a project to develop a reconnaissance satellite." Mhamad said: "We can use the help of China's launch vehicle to launch it."

Pakistan's launch vehicle technology has not yet achieved its goal of launching satellites, so it can only seek help from China. Now China's Long March series of rockets have begun to go market-oriented and undertake external launch business.

"The other one is the small turbofan engine. We surveyed and mapped the American F107 small turbofan engine, and on this basis, we developed our own cruise missile engine to test everything was normal." Sterling continued.

The American f107 engine is an engine used on the Tomahawk cruise missile. In order to get this engine, Pakistan also used a lot of connections. In the end, it took the help of Grumman Company to buy one at a high price.

The engine used for cruise missiles is one-time, and it only needs to meet a few hours of life. The focus is on low fuel consumption and low cost. Therefore, it is not very difficult to survey and map. It can also be done with Pakistan's aviation industry level.

"We have to work harder to independently develop a weapon. I hope everyone can overcome the difficulties and strive to successfully study our cruise missiles as soon as possible." Mhamad said, suddenly remembering something: "By the way, how are our modules researching?"

Now, the US's global positioning system has successfully implemented networking and has begun to provide civilian signals. Although the accuracy of civilians is a little worse and it will be restricted by Americans, it has to be said that the system is indeed a way to greatly improve accuracy.

Moreover, in order to promote global use, Americans have completely relaxed their civilian use and even provided various parameters to allow other companies to participate in the design of circuits for receiving modules. This has led to the system becoming a global positioning system. Now, it has also given Mhamad a lot of fun, and can obtain modules without being known to the United States.

"We are studying that this system can be transplanted into our guidance system, and the accuracy will be improved to the order of 10 meters. Moreover, with a little improvement, we can transplant it into other systems, such as our ordinary fall bomb, plus this system and control system, which can greatly improve the hit accuracy."
