Chapter 267: Missile boat

"It depends on the combat ships. If the Iraqi government needs it, it still has the ability to build some gunboats."
Cai Ruichen reacted very calmly to Hafez's words.
The shipyard can naturally build combat ships. However, even if large combat ships can be built now, he will not sell them to the Iraqi government.
And to be honest, with the current system of the Iraqi government forces, they can't afford to give them a corvette.
After all, the ships produced by the base all have a high level of technological integration. Without certain professional knowledge, it is impossible to play well.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen did not say death in one breath. As for the future, let's talk about it in the future.
He is not afraid of the outside world knowing some things. If there are more secrets, it is no longer a secret.
Now he doesn't even need to do anything, there will be a lot of speculation and conjecture outside.
Hearing this, Hafez did not buy it, but continued to ask: "Can a thousand-ton warship be built?"
A simple sentence has exposed Hafez's vision.
However, Cai Ruichen did not laugh at the other party, because in the Middle East, except Israel, no country can build modern combat ships of more than 1,000 tons.
Just like Iran and Pakistan, the largest warships produced are relatively backward, more like the ship style of the 1970s and 1980s, and there is no invisibility at all.
For countries in the Middle East, modern warships of the 1,000-ton class are already very useful. After all, the Persian Gulf is just as big.
Therefore, he didn't say anything about the limitations of Hafez's vision. After all, it has been weak for too long, and some concepts will not be able to be changed in a short while.
"If we build it, does the government plan to buy it? If you need it, I think we have no problem." Cai Ruichen asked rhetorically.
"This..." Hafez didn't know how to answer for a while, whether the ship was good or bad, he did have such an idea, but now that he is red-mouthed and white-fanged, he can't decide.
"If the government needs it. You can state the requirements. We can individually design a ship that meets your requirements for the government, but the price will depend on the quantity purchased." Cai Ruichen said.
"Just design it alone, the government's finances are tight, but it can't afford such expenditures."
Although Hafiz has a low vision. But some common sense is still understood.
Designed individually, the price of a ship can never be cheap. The design cost must be covered in it, and the Iraqi government cannot buy too many warships at once. One or two of them will be the sky.
And if you buy a warship. Maintenance and training costs alone are another big expense.
and so. He hesitated now.
"I have a very good ship here, and perhaps the government forces will be interested." Seeing Hafez hesitated, Cai Ruichen, who hadn't planned to sell warships to the Iraqi government, was hesitant. Seems to think of something, and immediately changed his mind. Continue to say:
"This is a missile boat with a displacement of 600 tons. It adopts a three-hull floating surface design and has a maximum speed of 50 knots. Not only can it pass smoothly in the Persian Gulf, it can also move freely near the Arabian Sea.
At the same time, the ship has a good stealth performance. The low hull is not easy to bury its head due to the three-hull structure. At the beginning of the design, the scanning of airborne early warning aircraft and shipborne radar was specifically used for professional absorbing coatings. , The reflection cross section on the phased array radar is equivalent to that of a small fishing boat of about fifty tons.
And such fishing boats can be seen everywhere in the Persian Gulf. This type of ship can almost achieve the most perfect stealth ability in the Persian Gulf.
Weapons are also very good. The bow has a concealed double-mounted 20mm twelve-barreled Gait cannon. Compared with the American Phalanx system and any Phalanx system of the same type in the world, Be practical and advanced.
The main weapons are four missile launch systems located on both sides of the stern, capable of loading four supersonic anti-ship missiles, with a strike range of 150 nautical miles. If guided by other means of radar, the range can reach 300 More than kilometers..."
After listening to Cai Ruichen's words, Hafiz's eyes slowly lit up. I have to say that this guided missile boat is indeed very heartwarming.
Especially places like the Persian Gulf are most suitable for such small missile boat activities.
"What about the price?" Hafez, who was beloved, couldn't help asking.
"The cost of a single ship is 30 million, and four missiles are paid separately." Cai Ruichen said very simply.
"Thirty million..." Hafez did not react excitedly when he heard this price. The displacement of 600 tons and the price of 30 million. Although the price is a bit more expensive, it can use supersonic anti-ship missiles. Boat, then the price is acceptable.
After all, at present, there are only three countries that are really equipped with supersonic anti-ship missiles, China, Russia and Japan. The United States does not have supersonic ship-to-ship missiles.
Unexpectedly, the Future Technology Group could actually produce such a missile boat.
Advanced stealth performance, as well as strong attack power, this is what makes Hafez heart.

If the government buys four ships, that’s 100 million U.S. dollars. We can also give away two missiles to the government for free. However, the government must give the green light to all leases of coastal land and the price must be the lowest.
Cai Ruichen continued.
"If that missile boat is really as advanced as Mr. Cai said~EbookFREE.me~ I agree." The four missile boats are 100 million US dollars, and Hafez is really moved. As for the land, it is in Iraq. Things are the least valuable.
"However, I need a long time limit for the land, the location is on the edge of the Basra port." Cai Ruichen continued.
"As long as the future maintenance of missile boats, Future Technology Group can give the greatest discount, I promise you." Hafez nodded and said decisively.
Although Basra is currently the most important port in Iraq, it is not as good as outsiders imagined. The main reason is that it was beaten too hard by the US military.
The Iraqi government once asked the US military to repair the port, but the Americans refused.
So Hafiz just pushed the boat along the way, but he underestimated Cai Ruichen's purpose.
"Mr. President is so refreshing, then cooperate happily." Cai Ruichen stretched out his right hand, and after shook Hafez, he didn't immediately let go, but continued: "However, we also need to have our own independent development. The Iraqi government must not interfere with the rights and deployment of defense forces.
