Chapter 800 Sky 11 Missile

Time flies, and the lively year of 08 has passed like this.

Looking back on 2008, the global financial economy is still a sluggish year, and the international political environment has become a little turbulent due to economic factors.

For Somalia. 2008 was a very important year. In this year, Somalia's GDP exceeded the 10 billion US dollars mark for the first time, and the GDP per capita reached 800 US dollars. This year, Baidoa Aviation Industrial Park was established, bringing together a large number of high-tech industrial parks, making it the largest science and technology park in Northeast Africa.

This year, the Somali Defence Force carried out its first large-scale re-up and re-dressing plan two years after its establishment. A group of officers, soldiers and troops that did not meet the current national defense needs were abolished, and the combat effectiveness of some key developed arms was greatly enhanced.

This year, the sales of Star Group exceeded 1 billion US dollars for the first time, and the sales order of Golden Eagle attack aircraft reached 150...

In this year, the third OECD's first official standing force, the Third State Counter-Terrorism Force, was established. This force headquarters, which aims to carry out transnational anti-terrorism missions and special tasks within the organization, is located in Benghazi, an important port city in eastern Libya, with the commander of Gaddafi's sixth son, Hamis? Gaddafi serves as...

......

110 kilometers northwest of Baidoa is the city of Golore, a city in Bacole. Golor is the border between the southwest plain of Somalia and the north-central plateau. Its geographical location is very strange and dangerous. There is only one road connecting the east and west ends of the city.

Here, since last year, ground has begun to build the first rocket (missile) launch site in Somalia.

Today, Major General Li Mo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Somali Defence Force, accompanied by several important Somali military generals, came here to visit a missile launch test.

On the steel launcher erected in the center of the launch site, a sky-blue missile is firmly fixed on it.

A group of experts of different skin colors are conducting a final inspection of the missile.

Accompanying Li Mo, in addition to military generals and several experts from the missile research and development center, there are also two faces of East Asians, who are missile technology experts from China.

In July last year, Somalia and China secretly reached an agreement on technical cooperation and exchange. Star Group provided laser anti-missile technology to Huaxia, and Huaxia provided multi-stage rocket technology to Somalia, and the two countries organized photoelectric technology experts to conduct in-depth research on laser anti-missile technology. The results are shared by the two countries, but Huaxia government Axe is not allowed to sell weapons equipped with laser anti-missile technology, while Somalia is not subject to this restriction, but the sale of weapons related to this technology is in line with the interests of some aspects of China.

To put it simply, Somalia can sell weapons with laser anti-missile technology, but not to potential enemies of China.

With the support of Huaxia's missile technology and experts, the technical development of the Star Group Missile Research and Development Center, after absorbing Iran's missile technology and Huaxia's missile technology, and with the efforts of missile technology experts from Ukraine, the new medium-range ballistic missile Sky 11 will be launched today.

The Sky 11 missile adopts two-stage rocket propulsion. The propellant is a solid terminal hydroxyl polybutadiene propellant, and the formula is provided by the Ukrainian missile expert Paul combination. The Paul combination is now not only the four missile experts from the Southern Machinery Factory, but also a number of technical experts from Ukrainian military enterprises that were later introduced.

Today, it is the launcher launcher test of this new generation of solid ground-to-ground missiles with larger body and longer range. If the launch is successful, the second missile launch vehicle launcher launch test will be carried out after the research of the land mobile launch system is completed.

At about 9:00 a.m., after the relevant personnel recorded the normal natural environmental indicators such as climate, temperature and wind, Master Paul, the head of the missile launch test team, issued an order to ignite the launch.

With a huge puff of smoke, the sky-blue missile cut through the sky and flew straight into the sky and soon disappeared into the eyes of everyone. However, on the big screen of the ground monitoring center, the sky-blue missile still flew east at high speed, and soon flew out of the African continent to the western Indian Ocean.

At this time, everyone in the ground monitoring center held their breath and stared at the screen, because everyone knew that the next was the focus of today's test, and it was also the basis for the success of the Sky 11 missile.

The flight of the medium-range ballistic missile is a parabola. When it flies out of the African continent, the missile has flown out of the atmosphere and continues to fly at an altitude of 700 kilometers.

In the nervous eyes of everyone, after 52 seconds of working time of the first-stage engine of the missile, the critical moment came.

"The first-stage engine successfully disengaged... The second-stage engine successfully ignited..." With the sound from the radio, Li Mo and all the experts laughed.

Height 200 kilometers...300 kilometers... 400 kilometers...700 kilometers

Speed 7 kilometers per second... 6 kilometers per second... reach the highest point of the ballistics.

The altitude is 700 kilometers...500 kilometers...300 kilometers.

Speed 0 km/h... 4 km/h... 7 km/h.

When the missile returned to the atmosphere, it was close to 20 times the speed of sound. At this time, because of the extremely fast speed of the missile, the speed after entering the atmosphere encounters a black barrier, that is, because of high-speed compression and atmospheric adhesion, thousands of degrees of high temperature and plasma layer are formed around the projectile, causing the missile's communication to seriously fail or even interrupt.

For intercontinental missiles, the black barrier area may be more than ten minutes, while for medium-range ballistic missiles with relatively short range, the time may be several seconds or more than ten seconds. When the descent speed of the missile in the atmosphere is reduced to a certain point, the black barrier area disappears.

More than ten seconds later, after a monitoring ship at a certain location in the Indian Ocean played the news that the monitored missile successfully hit the target area to the ground monitoring center, the huge monitoring center cheered.

Li Mo is very happy to shake hands with the experts to express his gratitude. If it hadn't been for the help of these experts and technicians from all over the world, it would not have been possible to achieve this result in the short term with the strength of the missile research and development center alone.

Especially the two-stage propulsion technology, based on this technology, the biggest obstacle to the research of intercontinental missiles has been solved.

After the launch of the Sky 11 missile at the Golor missile test site, many ground and sky monitoring stations around the world monitored the missile at the same time. The political axe and the military of various countries paid attention to it. When the monitoring data of the missile came out, the leaders of many countries were shocked.

Because the range of this missile has reached 2500-3000 kilometers, far exceeding the range of 1,800 kilometers of the Meteor 3 missile imported by Somalia from Iran.

With a long range, the missile must be longer and larger, and the warhead weight is heavier. Originally, with the 600 kg of the meteor 3 missile with a warhead weight, it is almost equipped with a small tactical nuclear warhead. Once this missile with a range of 3,000 kilometers is really deployed, it will definitely be charged. As a carrier of strategic nuclear weapons, it is equipped with hundreds of thousands of tons of nuclear warheads.

Li Mozheng has the idea that the launch of the Sky 11 missile was successful, which is because Somalia urgently needs a longer-range and more powerful strategic weapon.

The heavy 1.2-ton warhead weight can completely load the 500,000-ton equivalent of nuclear warheads weighing 800 kilograms in Li Mo's hands.

If the deployment of Sky 1 and Sky 2 missiles can only deter the surrounding countries and the surrounding waters, the range of the Sky 11 missile can meet the deterrence of Saudi Arabia and the surrounding areas of the Persian Gulf. The U.S. Fifth Fleet is completely within the range of such missiles.

Li Mo, who returned to the industrial park, still had an excited look on his face. He had a trump card and a chip in his hand, and his backbone was straighter. The tone of speech and rejection to others could also be more direct. This is the intuitive performance of strength and weakness.

"Boss, for this Sky 11 missile, we need to equip a brigade. As long as there is a brigade, we are not afraid of anyone coming." Viper, the commander of the strategic missile regiment, followed Li Mo and said excitedly.

"A brigade? You can really figure it out. Do you know how much this missile costs? Li Mo rolled his eyes and asked.

The poisonous snake's eyes widened and thought for a thought, "The Sky 2 missile is only 790,000 US dollars, and the Sky 11 is more than a million dollars."

"One million? It's almost enough to sell you a shell case. We produce it ourselves, and this kind of missile cost 1.7 million US dollars. Do you think how much a trip will cost? Li Mo said angrily.

The Sky 11 missile is good, but the price is too expensive. The main reason is that the industrial park has not been thorough in many technical aspects of the missile, and some missile spare parts need to be imported, so the cost will not come down. Li Mo remembers that the Huaxia Dongfeng 21 missile, which is similar to the Sky 11 missile, has a factory price of less than one million US dollars. This is the advantage of strong industrial technology.

"One brigade is not good, which one is almost the same, right? Can you see how many enemies we have around us? No matter how much strength the United States has around, a regiment's missiles can only defend and limit the deterrence. No matter how low it is, we will not have the ability to counterattack nuclear, unless it is pre-emptive. The viper was also shocked when he heard this number. Missiles are no better than weapons such as tanks. They are used once. After launching, it is equivalent to spending 1.7 million US dollars. So he immediately lowered his proposal to a level, from a brigade to a regiment.

A regiment is equipped with almost 24 missiles, plus land maneuvers. If the enemy first carries out a nuclear strike on Somalia, as long as it is under the right command, it can still save some of the missiles that survive, so that it has the nuclear counterattack capability.

"Don't think so much. For the time being, you can only be equipped with 10 for inspection and training. For the time being, you still mainly use the Sky 2 missiles." Li Mo did not soften at all because the poisonous snake lowered the requirements, and directly expressed his attitude.
