"This must be intentional. We just had a satellite pass over it and took a few photos. The target ship is intact. A tugboat fifty kilometers away was accidentally hit and a fire broke out. It is expected to be destroyed soon.
It sank."
"Deliberately? Damn it, who did it? He actually hacked into our GPS!"
Mel Birnbaum had a sneer on his face: "Huh, you just refused to spend money to develop a new generation of satellite navigation system. Now you have tasted the consequences, right?"
When the accident happened before, Birnbaum had already warned that the current satellite navigation system was no longer safe and a new generation was needed, but no one listened. Later, he said that he wanted to decipher Beidou, but nothing happened.
Now, look, something even more powerful is coming!
In the past, it was just a fake signal to deceive users, but now? It directly invaded the navigation satellite and modified the time information on it. This was definitely done deliberately by some people!
This time it’s just Asan, what about next time? What if they are the United States?
"Yes, we need to update the navigation satellites. The current navigation satellites are no longer safe!" Youwei nodded: "But we have no money."
If you had money, you would have passed it last time, but the problem is that you don’t have money.
"Which is more important, no money or no life?" Birnbaum asked his soul.
No one answered. Ah San’s role model is right in front of them, how should they choose?
Ah San was also very anxious at this time.
"We must not say that a mistake occurred. We must announce to the public that we successfully hit the target ship!" Sunil said through gritted teeth.
Even if this is to deceive others, they still have to do this. If the outside world knows that they missed the target and missed it by fifty kilometers, what will the outside world think of them?
You will definitely think that there is something wrong with Asan’s missiles!
"Yes, we will definitely announce it to the public like this." Pi Lai nodded, but of course he couldn't admit it. After all, their missiles are not only for their own use, they also plan to sell them to make money. If customers know that the performance of their missiles is too poor, the error will
Too high, who will buy it?
"Have you found the reason?" Sunil continued to look gloomy.
"I don't know, but we can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with our missiles!"
In the previous tests, their missiles had achieved complete success. Why did there suddenly be such a big error this time?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there was a problem with this missile during the manufacturing process, but Pi Lai would never admit it!
"If it's not a problem with your missiles, then what is the problem?" Sunil continued with a gloomy face.
"The outside world must have been interfered with! Of course, based on this experience, we must also learn lessons and install advanced satellite receiving terminals on the missiles so that we can issue self-destruct commands at any time."
Their missiles have no data link or satellite receiving terminal. Once the missile is launched, it cannot be controlled.
In fact, for missiles of this era, such a design is understandable. After all, the distance between the enemy and ourselves is at least hundreds of kilometers. As long as the anti-ship missile is launched, it will hit the enemy and cannot hit our own people.
Moreover, after it is launched, there is no need to activate the self-destruction. What if our missile self-destructs and the enemy's missile comes over?
But now, they believe that since their missiles are unreliable, it is best to add this kind of device to provide more insurance. However, Asan does not have a mature data link system, so they can only use satellite communication, of course.
, their military communication satellites are also very few, and they don’t know whether they can appear overhead in time.
"Report." At this moment, someone came in: "We detected that there was an error in the GPS satellite signal for a period of time after the missile was launched."
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
"How come there are errors in satellite signals?" Sunil said: "Is it the Americans?"
Ah San's policy is to have both sides. Sometimes he gets close to Lao Maozi, and sometimes he fights fiercely with the United States. Many of the equipment of Asan's navy are purchased from Da Mao, and they even do joint research and development. For example, this test
fired anti-ship missiles.
But at the same time, Ah San can also get a lot of advanced equipment from the United States, such as ship-based gas turbines. The advanced LM2500 gas turbine can be purchased at any time. Even if they want to buy a carrier-based aircraft, the Americans quickly send the Hornet over for testing.
However, Ah San also knows that this style of stepping into two boats will offend many people. For example, the BrahMos anti-ship missile jointly developed by them and Lao Maozi will naturally make the Americans unhappy. If Ah San hadn't come up with it,
Money, that Lao Maozi doesn't know how to develop advanced anti-ship missiles. They Ah San is using it, and Lao Maozi is also using it. Lao Maozi's weapons are aimed at the Americans.
Therefore, the Americans deliberately disrupted their test launch!
Thinking of this, Sunil's face turned extremely ugly.
"Protest to the Americans immediately, we will never tolerate this behavior." Sunil said: "They actually used such a despicable way to disrupt our test launch!"
"Yes, we must protest!" Pi Lai said. At this time, he actually felt relaxed. After all, it was not about the missiles, but external factors. Their missiles were still very advanced!
but……
"Americans can do this kind of destruction once, and they can do it a second time, and a third time. We must prevent this from happening again," Pi Lai said.
"Yes, we want to avoid it from happening again, but what should we do?"
"We need to have our own satellite navigation system!" Mukherjie said, "This project cannot be delayed any longer!"
For a long time, Asan's army has been using GPS and GLONASS systems for satellite positioning. After all, apart from these two, there is only Beidou in the East, which they will never use. As for Europe's Galileo,
There is no networking yet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since Lao Maozi's GLONASS is extremely unreliable, Asan mainly relies on GPS. They even signed an agreement with the United States and obtained the right to use military codes.
, in theory, it has the same high strike accuracy as the US military.
However, they have never been practical. After all, they have no initiative in using foreign satellite navigation systems. This time, they were completely fooled!
Ah San would not have thought that someone had hacked into the GPS satellite. After all, this was simply impossible, and the Americans would not admit it, otherwise it would cause great panic. Therefore, a gap developed between the two sides.
Ah San has long wanted to have its own regional navigation system. When Beidou in the East started to build a network, they had this idea. Their space research organization had long planned to build an Ah San regional navigation satellite system. After all, they
There is no need for global deployment, as long as they meet the satellite navigation needs of the waters near their home country.
However, not everyone can handle satellite navigation systems.
There is no need to talk about atomic clocks or advanced satellites. Just talk about frequency bands. The best frequency bands are occupied by GPS and GLONASS, and the second frequency bands are Beidou and Galileo. What should they use?
Therefore, although Asan has long wanted to build their own regional satellite navigation system, they have never taken action. Now, it is finally time to do it. If they don't do it, their army will not be able to do it.
pass.
When fighter jets take off to perform a mission, their navigation fails, and the bombs dropped may fall on their heads. Their warships are in the vast sea and cannot find their way home. Their civilians will also be in chaos due to the lack of precise timing services.
group.
Therefore, you must have your own system!
"Yes, this matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible." Sunil nodded. After this accident, they had no choice but to use satellite navigation!
Fortunately, they don't have to worry about funding. Ah San never has too little money.
On the same day, Mukherjee solemnly announced: "Today, our navy conducted a maritime anti-ship exercise. The destroyer Bombay used the BrahMos anti-ship missile and successfully hit a target ship 300 kilometers away.
The target ship sank to the bottom of the sea. This exercise greatly enhanced our national prestige and military power and demonstrated the powerful combat capabilities of our Asan Navy..."
The announcement was eloquent, which fully demonstrated the strength of Asan's navy. At the same time, there was a video on the big screen at the back, which showed the outline of a ship that was hit, burned and then sank. Although the image was blurry, it could be seen that it was a
Successful attack.
"Our BrahMos anti-ship missile is impossible to intercept!" In the end, Mukherje concluded: "This anti-ship missile has a speed of Mach 3 and a range of more than 300 kilometers.
It can also perform snake-like maneuvers in the final stage, and no anti-aircraft missiles or close-in defense weapons can intercept it!"
Mukherjie is very proud. Did you see it? We sank the 100,000-ton oil tanker directly!
After Mukherjee made the announcement, Asan's famous military expert Prakash made a special program to explain this difficulty. This program was imitated from the Eastern Zhang Zhong theory and was called Prakash Theory.
"Hello everyone, welcome to this Prakash Talks show. The name of this show is Prakash Talks Fighting Tankers. We all know that this time our navy launched a BrahMos anti-ship missile.
It successfully hit a 100,000-ton oil tanker 300 kilometers away and sent the tanker to the bottom of the sea on the spot."
Prakash was very excited: "Some people may think that hitting a 100,000-ton oil tanker is not a big deal. In fact, it is very big. It is even more difficult to sink such a tanker!"
"Let's first look at a historical record. In 1974, on the island nation of Tokyo Bay, a huge oil tanker named the Tenth Yuyo Maru collided with another ship loaded with steel. As the oil tanker caused a fire, it could happen at any time.
It would explode, so the Self-Defense Forces at the time decided to sink it. However, no matter how many artillery shells were used and even fighter jets were launched, the tanker was still floating on the sea."
"The structure of an oil tanker is complex. In order to prevent leakage and pollute the sea, oil tankers generally use a double-hull structure, and there are a large number of compartments inside. It is easy to damage an oil tanker, but it is very difficult to sink it, which is no less than sinking.
An aircraft carrier!”
In Prakash's words, this attack became equivalent to attacking an aircraft carrier!
"So, we are confident that even the Eastern 003 aircraft carrier will never survive the attack of our BrahMos anti-ship missiles. At most two BrahMos anti-ship missiles can destroy this aircraft carrier.
Send them to the bottom of the sea! We believe that in front of our absolute strength, the Easterners should be afraid, and should also be grateful that they have not conflicted with us, otherwise, they will be easily killed by us!"
East.
"Mr. Qin, let's call this program Zhang Zhong Talks about the BrahMos Anti-Ship Missile. I will remove the fig leaf of this anti-ship missile and let the whole world know what level this missile is."
, an archaeological anti-ship missile, what else is there to show off?" Zhang Zhong's face was full of anticipation. Since someone is sending his face to hit his side, what else can he say?
Qin Tao shook his head: "Our superiors have orders not to let us get involved in this incident. We have to listen to our superiors."
"Then what is the superior thinking?" Zhang Zhong looked at Qin Tao: "You should tell me everything!"
"how could I know."
Zhang Zhong had no choice but to leave Qin Tao's office, looked at the sun above his head, and couldn't help but sneeze.
At this moment, the cell phone rang.
"Teacher Zhang, our computer has restored the video of their missile hitting the tanker and found that there are many problems in it."
Zhang Zhong said that the program was of course not just Zhang Zhong alone, but a team. Now that he heard from his subordinates that there was progress, Zhang Zhong was very excited: "Really? What's the problem?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In that video, it was not an oil tanker that was hit, but a tugboat."
tug?
Zhang Zhong's eyes lit up: "Did they make a mistake? This is big news!"
No wonder the superiors don't let it be reported. There is explosive news here. They don't let us report it. I guess they don't want to get involved. However, we can not report it. The true situation of this incident must be exposed. We work in the media.
The purpose is to find the truth of the incident!
"We are currently searching on Google satellite maps to try to find the hiding place of the target ship."
"Okay, find it as soon as possible!"
Sunil returned to the shore and felt a little weak. After returning home, he wanted to have a good rest, but for some reason, his eyelids kept twitching.
Is there something going on?
Sure enough, that night, when he had just fallen asleep, the phone rang.
"Sir Sunil, please turn on your computer immediately. There are some rumors circulating on the Internet."
"What rumor?"
"You'll know just by looking at it, the website address has been sent to you."
So, Sunil could only sit up and turn on the computer. When he saw the relevant web page, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"According to the Asan Navy, the target ship is a 100,000-ton oil tanker named Sai Baba. This oil tanker is said to have sunk to the bottom of the sea, but we found it again in Alang Town, Gujarat, Asan
As for the ship, because there are too many ships waiting to be dismantled, the ship is still at sea and has not been dismantled.”
Alang Town is a magical place. It is the largest ship dismantling yard in the world.
In 1983, 22 workers dismantled a scrap ship here, and then began the vigorous era of ship dismantling. Now, more than half of the world's scrap ships are dismantled here.
In any country, dismantling a scrap ship is a high-risk investment. Various pollutants on the scrap ship need to be dealt with in advance. Safety must be ensured during the dismantling process. If a worker has an accident, he may have to
Pay a lot of money.
But Ah San doesn’t need to. The wages of workers here are very low, and there is no need to consider environmental protection. The oil on the ground and the pungent smell in the air cannot stop their work. It is said that someone did a survey and found that 20% of the workers here
More than ten people have respiratory diseases, and many of them are even lead poisoning.
But no one cares. The dismantling site is on the seaside, and the dismantling office is also on the shore. Countless ships wash ashore every day, and are then dismantled by workers using crude tools and entered into the steel plant.
Due to the excessive number of scrap ships, some of the scrap ships that had no time to be dismantled were wandering on the sea outside. Unexpectedly, the target ship appeared mysteriously!
"Don't these damn guys know that they should sink the ship in advance? For such a small profit, they actually have to expose our navy's trump card!" Sunil cursed and picked up the phone.
"Hey, make that ship disappear immediately!"
"It can't disappear!"
"Why?"
"Because many reporters went there and took a lot of photos, they have confirmed that the ship was the target ship that was supposed to disappear."
When the news spread on the Internet, well-informed reporters rushed to the scene in advance and began investigating.
Didn’t the Asan Navy say it sank this ship? Why is it still showing up at the ship-breaking yard?
"Then tell them that we have salvaged this target ship again and will dismantle it. We will never waste it!" Sunil had no other choice but to give this answer.
"yes."
So, the next day, Mukherjie spoke to the outside world again.
"We, Asan, are a country that values reuse of resources. Therefore, after we sank the target ship, we towed the target ship to the shipbreaking yard to prepare for dismantling. The steel is still useful to us, and we will use it to make motorcycles.
car."
"Excuse me, after being attacked by an anti-ship missile, why does the appearance of this ship's hull still remain intact?"
"Excuse me, according to the video, the ship sank quickly after the fire and explosion. How much did it cost you to salvage it afterwards?"
How to answer these questions? Of course there is no answer! Ah San was eager to cover up the facts, but in the end he exposed a lot of flaws!
"Excuse me, why was the video you released last time so blurry? Can it be made clearer?"
Of course not, if it were clearer, it would be exposed!
Just when Mukherjie was unable to answer these incoming questions, another reporter shouted: "We used advanced computer technology to restore it, and then found that the target in the last released video was a tugboat, and
It’s not an oil tanker. Did your missile make a mistake in attacking and mistook a tugboat fifty kilometers away from the target as a target ship?”
