Chapter 105: Shi Keli Medium-Range Ship-to-Air Missile
When Mavi led Admiral Suni Barr and all the Indian naval generals to the largest dock in the Beihai Shipyard, he saw a giant warship about 300 meters long and 35 meters wide, which was newly renovated and presented to everyone.
The battleship has a standard displacement of 55,000 tons, which is almost the same as the displacement of an aircraft carrier! The draft is 10.1 meters and the main turret is three quadruple 406mm heavy artillery.
The anti-aircraft turret is 6 double-connected 130mm flat anti-aircraft guns and 4 quad-connected 45mm anti-aircraft machine guns. The speed can reach a maximum of 27 knots. The side armor is 380 mm thick, the horizontal armor is 50+150 mm, and the main engine power is 140,000 horsepower.
Admiral Suni Barr and the Indian naval generals looked at the giant not far away with a stunning look. Compared with the 1,000-ton and 2,000-ton light frigates in their own country, it was obvious that the 55,000-ton battleship in the Beihai Shipyard seemed more majestic and domineering!
"Mr. Mavie, this ship should be the No. 6 battleship designed by the Soviet Union's First Central Special Ship Bureau?" Admiral Suni Barr was also the General Staff of the Indian Navy, a warship around the world. Just take a look at it and you can remember the relevant information.
"That's right, General Suni Barr, this ship is indeed the No. 6 warship built at that time. Now our shipyard will restore it to its use for him." Ma Wei replied simply and clearly.
After listening to his narrative, General Suni Barr suddenly became a little confused and turned to Mawei and asked, "For him to use it? Mr. Mawei, although this battleship has fierce firepower, hasn't it been eliminated by various countries now?"
The displacement of battleships and heavy cruisers is comparable to that of aircraft carriers. But in terms of combat effectiveness, aircraft carriers are completely better than the former. After all, aircraft carriers have fighter jets and bombers. These things have a fatal blow to warships.
In war, if you want to control the territorial sea rights, you have to control the airspace rights. Otherwise, if you send a few planes, you can sink the battleships into the sea... This situation often occurs in World War II. As soon as the battleships of some countries go out of the sea, the enemy's planes sink in a blink of an eye.
"Yes, the battleships of military powers have long been replaced by aircraft carrier battle groups. But this does not mean that it has no value. Admiral Suni Bar, we have prepared some welcome ceremonies for the arrival of your navy. I wonder if you are willing to attend?" Mawei asked everyone with a smile.
"Yes, but is this welcome ceremony related to this battleship?" General Suni Barr asked Mavie as if he had thought of something.
"It's almost done." Mawei nodded casually, then glanced at the factory director Mikhail who was standing not far away, and signaled him, "It's time to start."
Mikhail received the order, then picked up the intercom in his hand and conveyed Mavi's order to the dock control room, "The chairman said he could start."
When the control room received the command, it immediately activated the corresponding switch. Then half a minute later, the people above saw the gate on the side of the dock facing the sea suddenly opened. Then the majestic sea water poured in from the gateway entrance, and soon it filled the entire dock.
As the sea water poured in, the battleships originally placed on the dock keel slowly floated up. Then they were led into the sea by the towing equipment in the dock. Then several tugboats that had been waiting outside completely towed the battleships out of the shipyard. This time, the action was completed.
"Okay, everyone, the welcome ceremony begins soon, and it's time for us to set off." Seeing that the battleship went out to sea successfully, Mawei said to the naval officers with a smile. Then he led everyone to a 3,000-ton Talva frigate and signaled everyone to board the ship.
Admiral Suni Barr was a little confused about the situation in front of him. He originally thought that Mavie would let them board the battleship just now and experience it. But unexpectedly, it was a frigate with a tonnage of more than ten times less. This seemed to be a bit big?
"Mr. Mavie, aren't you saying that this welcome ceremony is related to that battleship? Why are we boarding this Talva-class frigate?" Suni Bar asked Mavie for unknown reasons.
"You will know when the time comes, General Suni Bar." Mawei was kept in a silence. The Indian Navy's orders must be taken, because their demand is not only this batch, but there are many more in the future. Not only the navy, the Indian Army, and the Indian Air Force will have to buy military equipment at that time, and that amount is not a joke.
After hearing what Mavi said, General Suni Barr had to endure his doubts first and took his officers to board the Talva-class frigate in front of him. On the deck of the warship, he met the captain and deputy captain who had been waiting for a long time.
"General Suni Barr, let me introduce you to the captain of the frigate, Lieutenant Colonel Povkin." Ma Wei was familiar with the introduction of both sides.
It has to be said that since Mawei donated 26.5 million R&D funds from the Navy, the Russian Navy has had a good impression of him. This also made him a businessman who could travel with the army freely. It can be said that he was doing well.
After meeting with the captain and the deputy captain, Mawei saw that the time was right, he began his first round of "deception", that is, to discuss business.
"Admiral Suni Barr, the Talva-class frigate you are in, it is equipped with 8 units of vertically launching Moss supersonic anti-ship missiles. It can launch Schickili medium-range ship-to-air missiles. The ship is fully fueled and has a maximum speed of 27 knots..."
Mawei knew that in 2000, the Indian Navy was still propelling ships with steamships and old warships could enter the History Museum. So they were very urgent and needed advanced ships to arm their military strength.
After listening to Ma Wei's introduction, General Suni Barr finally stopped paying attention to the battleship just now. Instead, he asked Ma Wei with concern, "So Mr. Ma Wei, how much does a 3,000-ton Talva frigate like your country cost? How long is the delivery time? We hope it will be faster."
The Indian Navy urgently needs equipment to improve its strength. The faster the shipment period, the better. It is best to spend money now and there are ready-made ones to drive back to China tomorrow. Whether the price is expensive is secondly, as long as it does not exceed the budget.
