The white elephant country is a big country. In their own hearts, they always think so. Since it is a big country, it must have the strength and dignity of a big country. For example, their weapons and equipment must be self-developed. No matter how much it costs, it is worth it.
The equipment of the three armed forces of the white elephant country is now self-developed. The air force has Guanghui fighters and the army has Arjun tanks. Moreover, compared with Guanghui fighters, Arjun tanks have an earlier development process.
After all, they fought mainly on land. Therefore, in the 1960s, they planned to study by themselves, and in the 1970s, they officially started development. At that time, it was called white elephant leopard. Naturally, this name was borrowed from the leopard 2 tank in Hans.
At that time, the target was very high, with a total combat weight of 50 tons, 120 mm rifles and high-performance ammunition, advanced fire control, high-power engines and efficient transmission systems, and composite armor. These all required self-research, and their performance was more advanced than that of leopard 2. At the same time, 3.6 million Eagle yuan of R & D funds were allocated. You know, in the 1970s, the funds were already abundant.
What happened?
This plan has been developed for more than ten years. In the mid-1980s, a sample vehicle was developed. At this time, the equipment on it was already Wanguo brand, and then began a long test run. Last year, after careful evaluation by the army, it was determined that this tank was not suitable for the battlefield. Yes, a main battle tank of the army was not suitable for the battlefield.
The army did not dare to ask for it, but the state did not agree. Prime Minister Rao asked about the project at that time. Since the army felt bad, it could continue to study it. In short, it must not give up.
At this time, it goes without saying that the Han country in the north already had advanced tanks. Even the holy country next door began to produce their Khalid tanks. How can the white elephant country be compared?
As for the Navy, there is naturally a self-developed project, which is the Delhi class destroyer. After many repetitions, the keel of this warship finally began to be laid last year.
Now, the navy is going to rely on itself and build its own aircraft carrier!
Now, the navy of the white elephant country has a sense of mission. The navy of the white elephant country has always regarded the waters around it as its own back garden, but now this authority has been greatly challenged.
Han rented a port and established a base in the holy country next door. Although most of them are civilian, the warships of the Han Navy come to join in the fun from time to time. As for the recent popularity of pirates in the waters near the oil palm country, it gives the Han Navy an opportunity to escort here, and it is still a long-term nature.
The White Elephant Kingdom is very angry about this. They don't want to show their force at sea all the time. However, they have to have such power.
The most advanced Delhi class destroyer in their hands has not yet taken shape. Even if they have it, they don't even have an Aegis system. It's not advanced at all. It's a shame to take it out.
Then, only the aircraft carrier is left. After all, the aircraft carrier is the most powerful combat weapon and the pride of the Navy. There are no more than ten countries with aircraft carriers in the world, while the white elephant country has operated aircraft carriers for many years.
But now, they have only a small aircraft carrier for taking off and landing harriers, which certainly can not meet the needs. They know the chicken ribs of harriers, and the plane has almost fallen.
It was expected that the aircraft carrier refitted from xiongguo would come back quickly. After all, the plan was to operate the Su-33 fighter, which was the most powerful heavy carrier aircraft.
But now, this aircraft carrier seems to have been calculated by the Xiong people. They don't know how many losses they have to suffer to get it back. Therefore, they must build it by themselves. Only when they build the aircraft carrier, they can show it to the world and to the Xiong people. If you delay, we won't want it!
The idea of the white elephant navy has been brewing for a long time. Now Kumar has officially put forward that we should build our own aircraft carrier!
"Does our navy have a plan?" Rao asked seriously.
"Yes, according to the current situation of our navy, we decided to build a 40000 ton aircraft carrier," Kumar said "At present, the basic data of this aircraft carrier has been determined, with a length of about 260 meters, a width of 60 meters and a maximum speed of 30 knots. According to our existing technical basis, we adopt the scheme of sliding jump take-off and blocking landing. For specific carrier aircraft, we can refer to Su 33, MIG 29 or chicken country carrier aircraft, or our own brilliant fighter. Due to our own The design ability is limited, so I want to ask foreign technical teams to help design. "
Prime Minister Rao nodded repeatedly, especially when he said that the carrier based aircraft of this aircraft carrier was even more happy considering the brilliant fighter. His own aircraft carrier and carrier based aircraft made by himself were the real made in the white elephant country! He was already distracted when he thought of this.
Of course, it is normal to ask foreign technical teams to help design. After all, our own side has not built an aircraft carrier or designed it. Therefore, this aspect can be handed over to foreign countries!
"Let the Navy prepare. We can ask for help in designing the aircraft carrier, but we must build it ourselves. We should build it ourselves and try to produce it nationwide." Rao said: "the government will support the Navy's construction plan. Well, how about this aircraft carrier, which is called the blue sky guard?"
Rao gave me a good name, which is very popular.
"Yes." Kumar was very happy that the Navy could have three aircraft carriers at the same time, enough to become an aircraft carrier power.
ATA frowned and couldn't help asking, "so where did the steel we built the aircraft carrier come from?"
It's easy for you to say. All kinds of parameters are not things that move up and down? What if it is really implemented?
Not to mention the above equipment, not to mention the shipborne aircraft, but only the most basic steel. How do you plan to solve it?
"As for steel, we believe that there are world-class steel enterprises in China, which will be able to produce qualified steel," Kumar said.
brag! Atta wants to refute, but then he reacts. Kumar certainly knows the domestic level. What he wants is a project. As long as it is approved, designed and built, he can think of another way. It's a big deal to purchase steel from bear country.
In fact, they only have the choice of bear country. In this way, they have to be strangled by bear country?
At the thought of this, atta's heart was cold.
"Cough, cough," Sandra said, "guys, now we can continue to consider the threat posed by the holy nation's stealth aircraft and how to deal with it?"
It was originally about the air force, but it soon came to the Navy. The Navy also decided on an aircraft carrier! That won't work. The air force has to work harder.
