Although the Treaty on the Limitation of Ballistic Missile Proliferation restricts major powers in the world from exporting ballistic missiles to hot spots, the treaty always has loopholes.
For example, this long-range rocket launcher is now in front of Zhang Xingyang and Big Beard.
As the Crown Prince, Salman looked at the unattractive long-range rocket launcher in front of him, looked at Zhang Xingyang with some confusion, and said:
"My friend, is this the good stuff you're talking about?"
It's hard to blame Salman for asking this, after all, these days' long-range rocket launchers are generally not very good.
In terms of range and accuracy, they are inferior to short-range missiles.
Moreover, Long's domestic rocket launchers are not very developed at this time, and they can also be sold to some countries that are unable to obtain advanced rocket launchers from the West.
For Salman, this kind of thing is not attractive at all.
"Of course this is good stuff, my friend!"
Zhang Xingyang looked at Salman who looked puzzled, smiled and said.
Then another almost unbelievable statistic was thrown out.
"Our latest developed long-range rocket launcher can reach a maximum range of 600 kilometers when using extended-range rocket glide bombs!"
Just after Zhang Xingyang finished speaking, Salman did not show a surprised expression. Instead, he frowned and stared at Zhang Xingyang.
After a while, he slowly said:
"Friend, I didn't expect you to be a dishonest person, or do you think I am a fool?"
Salman's words were very serious, and the expressions of everyone present changed again and again.
If this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, it can easily lead to diplomatic accidents.
"Of course I am a person of integrity, and everything I say is true."
Zhang Xingyang first defended himself a little, and then gave a way to relieve Crown Prince Salman's doubts.
"We can demonstrate to you the ultra-long range and power of this latest model of rocket launcher."
Crown Prince Salman still finds it difficult to believe Zhang Xingyang's words at this time. After all, it is difficult for even the most powerful country in the world to achieve such monster-level performance.
What's more, in the world's military trade market, Dragon's domestic products are not very outstanding!
"I hope you are not lying to me. I still cherish the friendship between us."
Salman slowly opened his brows, looked at Zhang Xingyang seriously and said.
"I hope that my people can participate in your launch process, otherwise it is difficult for me to believe that you will not tamper with the launch process."
Salman's worries are not groundless. After all, with a range of 600 kilometers, if the other party makes some manipulations and re-launches a rocket, if Salman's people just stay at the target point or launch site, , it is difficult to find the problem.
"Of course. We also have other ways to make you believe that we didn't do anything."
Zhang Xingyang smiled, patted a rocket placed on the carrying trolley beside everyone and said:
"This rocket is specially made to take into account that people will think that we tampered with the launch process."
"Its warhead does not have high explosives installed, but a special titanium alloy box that can withstand high-speed impacts of rockets at several Mach."
"You can put something inside that you think is difficult to imitate. Then after the rocket hits the target, we can open it and see if it is the same one!"
The method mentioned by Zhang Xingyang can indeed solve Crown Prince Salman's concerns.
"So when can we start testing?"
Now that the other party has given an almost perfect solution, Crown Prince Salman also wants to see whether this rocket can reach a range of 600 kilometers as Zhang Xingyang said.
"Let's take a helicopter to the target point first."
Zhang Xingyang took out a map and pointed out to Crown Prince Salman several target points 600 kilometers away from their current launch site.
Let him choose which target point he wants to go to.
Salman looked at several target points on the map that were relatively far apart, and pointed at one at random.
Then he asked several experts in his team to check whether the distance was 600 kilometers.
The expert took a look at this map, which was not very accurate, and came to a conclusion based on the scale above:
"It's about 610 kilometers away from our current location."
Since there was no problem with the distance, Crown Prince Salman said nothing more.
After giving one of his necklaces to his subordinate at the launch site and asking him to wait for a while to put it into the rocket.
He turned around and followed Zhang Xingyang, boarding the military helicopter that had been prepared long ago.
Because this large area is now classified as a military restricted area, except for military helicopters, all other aircraft are unable to enter. Therefore, Crown Prince Salman and his party can only ride in a helicopter whose experience is not as good as that of civilian helicopters in all aspects. Military helicopter, straight 9-B.
After reaching the permanent protective bunker near the target point, Zhang Xingyang handed Crown Prince Salman a mobile phone and asked him to contact his men.
Because the speed of Z9-B can only reach 280 kilometers per hour, it took more than two hours to reach the destination.
At this time, the launch site had already made a series of preparations.
Salman turned to the phone and said after launch, he returned the phone to Zhang Xingyang.
"How long will it take for the rockets to reach here?"
The speed of rockets at this time is generally not very fast. Even many cruise missiles, such as Tomahawk and Harpoon, generally have subsonic cruising speeds.
Generally, only air defense interceptor missiles can reach the hypersonic speed of Mach 5-7.
"Our rockets are very fast. It only takes four minutes to reach the target point!"
Zhang Xingyang looked at the watch on his wrist, silently calculating in his mind where the rockets were now, while answering Salman's question.
"So fast?!" Salman finally showed a shocked expression at this time.
Then he reacted, looked at his watch and started timing.
Just like this, after more than three minutes, everyone could already see the rockets flying quickly from the horizon, like the Sword of Doom.
In the blink of an eye, the rocket flew over the heads of everyone, and then quickly penetrated the several meters thick soil layer at the target point with lightning speed!
A large cloud of dust was raised dozens of meters to the left of the target point.
"Would you like to go and see for yourself?"
Zhang Xingyang looked at Salman who was still in a state of shock at the speed of the rocket after finishing the timer and said.
"Of course you want to see it!"
Salman looked at the impact point in the distance where the dust had not yet settled, and said very excitedly.
Everyone drove a military off-road vehicle to the impact site to check the specific situation.
After arriving at the impact point, everyone discovered that even though it was not loaded with high explosives, the rocket still relied on its own weight and ultra-high speed to insert most of its rod into the soil.
You must know that the length of a 300mm rocket is six to seven meters.
Zhang Xingyang took a look and estimated that it was about five meters deep and inserted into the soil.
"How far is it from the target point?" Salman asked the military staff officer who came with him.
The military staff officer who looked very professional, after making some gestures, said:
"About sixty meters."
This accuracy is far beyond Salman's deadline. You must know that such a large-caliber rocket generally has an accuracy of 150 meters, which is considered good.
He looked again, using small engineering equipment to pull out the rocket from the soil, and took out his previous necklace from the warhead at its front end.
Crown Prince Salman has made up his mind to buy this rocket launcher back.
"Make a price, my friend!"
"We are very happy with this weapon!"
"As long as you bid, we will never counter-offer!"
Zhang Xingyang smiled and said:
"We are friends, but the research and development and production of this rocket launcher cost us a lot of energy and financial resources."
Salman has understood that this rocket launcher is definitely not cheap, but he doesn't care. The money is all he needs to hit two more oil wells anyway.
As for such a good weapon, it cannot be bought casually!
"My friends, no matter what your cost price is!"
"I'll pay ten times the price!"
"As long as you can sell us a rocket launcher with such performance!"
