140: Chapter 140 Unlocking the "Thunder" Missile Defense System

After unlocking the 100 billion yuan tier of weapons and equipment, new models of weapons and equipment became available for sale.

The first newly unlocked item is the Tianlei Type IX Anti-Aircraft Missile.

It possesses long, medium, and short-range, as well as high, medium, and low-altitude defensive combat capabilities. It can be used for full-airspace counter-measures against dense, multi-target air raids and has the capability to counter tactical missiles and ballistic missiles.

Its operational range is a minimum of 300 meters and a maximum of 400 kilometers.

The maximum interception altitude is 38,000 meters, and the maximum speed reaches Mach 18.

The missile warhead weighs 700 kilograms, and the launch weight is 1,800 kilograms.

The system is priced at 5 million yuan per set, with 2 million yuan for the launcher and 3 million yuan for the missile.

With further improvements in operational range, it can intercept any fighter jet, and its interception capability against tactical missiles and ballistic missiles has also been enhanced.

The second newly unlocked item is the Tianlei Missile Defense System.

It integrates the Tianlei Type II Anti-Aircraft Missile through to the Tianlei Type X Anti-Aircraft Missile. It can actively identify all incoming enemy targets within a set area, lock onto them, and select the most appropriate position and the optimal Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to shoot them down.

Using the detection radar included with the Tianlei Missile Defense System, it can provide early warning, detection, tracking, and statistical information on incoming enemy targets, as well as execute missile guidance and kill assessment against enemy targets.

It can intercept up to 100 enemy targets at once. The combat command and control system can provide decision-making advice to commanders, generate and execute combat plans, and automatically transmit launch commands to the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to improve the interception success rate.

The system is priced at 50 million yuan per set.

Equipped with the Tianlei Missile Defense System, it is basically capable of all-around interception of any incoming enemy target. Unless the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles are exhausted, it is impossible for enemy air raids to succeed.

The third newly unlocked item is the Sky Arrow Type III Anti-Tank Missile.

The total weight is 50 kilograms, the missile body weighs 24 kilograms, and the maximum armor penetration depth is 1,200 millimeters.

The maximum speed is 850 meters per second, the effective range is 5,000 meters, and the maximum range is 6,000 meters.

The Tianlong Type II Drone can perform surveillance, reconnaissance, and ground attack missions, featuring multi-purpose functions for medium-to-high altitude, long endurance, and integrated reconnaissance and strike capabilities.

The fifth newly unlocked item is the Fierce Rhino Type IV Tank.

The tank has a total weight of 55 tons, armor thickness equivalent to 650 millimeters of homogeneous armor, a cross-country speed of 45 kilometers per hour, a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range of 700 kilometers.

The armor-piercing capability of the Fierce Rhino Type IV Tank has been further improved, and it possesses stronger armor protection, capable of withstanding frontal and vertical strikes from armor-piercing projectiles.

The sixth newly unlocked item is the Fierce Tiger Type IV Armored Vehicle.

It is an armored personnel carrier with a total weight of 20 tons, a total length of 7.5 meters, a cross-country speed of 60 kilometers per hour, a maximum speed of 75 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range of 650 kilometers. It is equipped with one smoothbore gun, one autocannon, one anti-tank missile launcher, and one dual-purpose anti-aircraft/ground machine gun.

The protection of the Fierce Tiger Type IV Armored Vehicle can withstand 20mm armor-piercing projectiles, has a stronger anti-armor configuration, and is fully amphibious.

The seventh newly unlocked item is the Fierce Lion Type IV Artillery.

It is a self-propelled artillery piece with a caliber of 155mm, a total weight of 30 tons, 45 rounds of ammunition, a minimum range of 4,000 meters, a maximum range of 50,000 meters, a maximum speed of 65 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 600 kilometers, and is equipped with one dual-purpose anti-aircraft/ground machine gun.

The firepower configuration of the Fierce Lion Type IV Artillery has been further enhanced, and it possesses strong protective capabilities, effectively guarding against strikes from 15mm armor-piercing projectiles. The artillery's range has been extended to 50 kilometers, and it can hit targets with multiple rounds simultaneously.

Of course, the Multiverse Arms Trading System also unlocked other weapons and equipment, but Li Yi did not look at them in detail. For now, the focus remains on the sale of various weapons and equipment such as anti-aircraft missiles, drones, anti-tank missiles, and armored vehicles.

Li Yi decided that when delivering weapons and equipment to Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and others in two days, he would also promote the newly unlocked weapons and equipment, striving to secure new orders.

Saudi Arabia, in particular, should be quite interested in the Tianlei Missile Defense System. After all, it can intercept incoming targets from all directions, so they no longer need to fear attacks on their oil fields and refineries.

Even if using the Tianlei Missile Defense System might result in some waste of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles, Saudi Arabia would not consider the financial loss of wasting the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles at all; instead, they are more concerned about the security of their own territory.

Similarly, Iran should also have a demand. After all, Iran has been attacked by Israel multiple times in various locations. If they had the Tianlei Missile Defense System, they could intercept multiple incoming targets, reducing the damage to their cities and military facilities from air raids.

The Tianlong Type II Drone should also have a certain market. For Syria, the existing number of fighter jets is insufficient, so they can only carry out air strike operations through military drones. The Tianlong Type II Drone can carry more ammunition and can launch larger-scale bombing strikes.

Syria will also need the new models of armored vehicles, but the demand quantity will not be very large, mainly because the selling price will be higher, and for Syria, the cost-performance ratio has decreased to a certain extent.
