Chapter 1015: Tap the potential of Scud missiles

"If we can complete the JH VII project, then your long-range strike capability will definitely improve by leaps and bounds." Qin Guan continued: "However, because the enemy has perfect air defense firepower, it will still be intercepted. The most effective weapon is ballistic missiles."
When Amilton heard Qin Guan mentioning ballistic missiles, his eyes were even brighter. Yes, ballistic missiles will not be intercepted because they fall at a high speed, and existing anti-aircraft missiles are ineffective against it.
In later wars, the Patriots intercepted a large number of Scud missiles, which seemed to be an effective weapon, but how many of them were exaggerated and unknowable.
Now, if the date palm country can have a ballistic missile with a long enough range, that would be great!
Is Han going to export to its own ballistic missiles?
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, in order to maintain its own national security, Han has made arduous efforts on two bombs and one satellite, and has also reaped many fruits. Han’s ballistic missile technology is advanced. The Dongfeng-2 missile is exported to the date palm country, it is enough for use.
The Dongfeng-2 ballistic missile is improved on the basis of the Dongfeng-1 missile. For example, it improves the thrust and specific impulse of the engine; the liquid oxygen tank is changed to a single-layer structure; the tail section is changed from a convergent cone to a cylindrical aluminum alloy structure .
Through these programs, its performance has been greatly improved. Its take-off weight is 29.8 tons, engine thrust is 45.5 tons, working time is 125 seconds, range is increased to 1,300 kilometers, and it can carry a 20,000-ton nuclear warhead.
At the same time, it is also a land-based mobile medium- and short-range ballistic missile equipped by Han Guo, and the first single-stage liquid-engine ballistic missile.
After serving in 1968, it took on the task of deterring the bear country. Although it could not reach the capital of the bear country, it could also reach the far east of the bear country.
But now, since Han has already had advanced ballistic missiles and solid missiles have begun to be developed, this medium-range ballistic missile has begun to be gradually withdrawn from active service.
Since he has retired and given it to the date palm country to make a fortune, why not do it?
This idea just flashed in Qin Guan's mind, and he denied this plan.
No, other weapons can be sold, but ballistic missiles cannot, because this will seriously disrupt the regional strategic balance.
The Han country sold weapons on both sides and made a fortune in this war, but the two sides must be balanced.
They were given the Eighths of the Parthian State, they were given the Sevenths of the Jujube State, the 59 tanks of the Parthian State, and the 79 tanks of the Jude State. The greater the benefits.
However, if the Dongfeng-2 missile is sold to the date palm country, what missile should be sold to the Parthian nation?
The regional strategic balance is severely disrupted, which is not good for oneself.
Thinking of this, Qin Guan made up his mind, and let's follow the historical plan.
"Yes, if there are ballistic missiles, that would be great. However, our SCUD missiles have a range of only 300 kilometers, which is far from enough!"
The date palm country purchased a batch of Scud missiles from Xiong country in 1974. The number is small, there are about 30 launch vehicles. However, the spread of Scud missiles is very fast and they can buy them from third parties at any time. More launch vehicles and missiles.
However, this kind of missile has a range of 300 kilometers, which is of the tactical level. It is used by ground forces to flatten important targets on the offensive route. It cannot undertake the mission of strategic bombing.
"If you can export to us advanced ballistic missiles, that would be great." Amir said.
Han's ballistic missiles are advanced in technology and have sufficient range. Does President Qin mean to export such missiles?
If Qin Guan didn't just change his mind and thought more, he would agree to it at once. Now, Qin Guan has another plan.
"Sorry, we strictly abide by the international "Ballistic Missile Proliferation Restriction Treaty" and prohibit the sale and acquisition of ballistic missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers and a warhead of more than 150 kilograms, and related technologies and components." Qin Guan said.
In fact, Han has not yet signed this treaty, otherwise, how could Han sell to the desert country Dongfeng-3, but now, the height of Qinguan Station is higher, which is justified.
Can't export.
"However, we can provide you with an improvement plan." Qin Guan said: "Although the SCUD missile has a range of only 300 kilometers, it still has potential to be tapped."
Hearing what Qin Guan said, Amilton was taken aback for a moment, tapping the potential of the Scud missile? is it possible?
What potential can the SCUD missile have? It is a backward technology from the 1950s and 1960s, how can it tap its potential?
"To put it simply, it would be three bombs combined with two bombs, doubling the range." Qin Guan said, "Mr. Amir, do you understand?"
The Scud missile is a liquid missile. How far this missile can fly depends on how much fuel it has, so just add a fuel tank.
Relying on the industrial capacity of the date palm country, it is impossible to process a qualified fuel tank by itself, so the only way to disassemble the fuel tank of the original missile.
That is to say, divide the oxidizer tank and the combustion agent tank of one "Scud B" missile in half, and insert and weld them to the oxidizer tank and combustion agent tank of the other two missiles to make the two tanks longer. 85 and 45 cm, an increase of 1040 kg of propellant, the total amount of propellant increased to nearly 5 tons, thereby increasing the range to nearly 600 kilometers.
In order to compensate for the weight of the increased fuel and lengthened missile body, the weight of the warhead was reduced, the explosive volume was reduced to 190 kg, the maximum flight time of the missile was also extended from about 309 seconds to 425 seconds, and the hit accuracy was reduced from 300 meters to 500 meters.
This is how the military industry has doubled the range of three bombs and two bombs that have been fascinated by the military industry for many years.
Now, without the help of technicians from other countries, Han Guo can help them. With so many rocket experts in Han State, is it not a piece of cake to solve this kind of thing?
Qin Guan’s statement made Amir’s heart happy, yes, if he could do that, then this improved SCUD missile would be enough to reach the capital of the nation of Shah!
After all, the capital of the Parthian Kingdom is a straight line distance of 600 kilometers from the border of the Date Palm Kingdom.
If it is a fighter plane, in order to prevent being intercepted, it has to fly around and fly at an ultra-low altitude. The range will be greatly reduced, and ballistic missiles will not be needed. It is to take the ballistic route.
"Okay, President Qin, we hope to get technical support to complete the transformation of our Scud missile as soon as possible," said Amir.
Perfectly avoiding the export treaties in the world, and being able to complete the blow to the capital of the Parthian nation is simply fantastic.
