Chapter 952: Wholesale American Weapons Technology 1
The country attached enough importance to this transaction, so a major general was sent over. However, Luca's words still shocked Major General Lu.
Lu Guozhi asked with a serious expression, "Mr. Luca, are you talking about the US THAAD missile system, a complete set?"
"Yes, there is no shortage of all the vehicle-mounted launchers, interceptor bombs, ground radar systems, combat management and command, control, communications, and intelligence systems," Luca said.
Looking at Luka who spoke with a relaxed tone, Lu Guozhi and Zhang Jiaying had an idea at the same time. This guy was not an international liar, right? Is it possible to get a complete set of THAAD missile systems from Americans?
However, this idea just flashed through. After all, the country and Luka had already had several transactions before, and the other party's credibility was still very guaranteed.
In recent times, the United States has been inciting South Korea to deploy THAAD missile defense systems in its country. The purpose is very obvious, which is to control the threat of China's land-based missiles. If South Korea deploys THAAD, the radiation range will reach half of China, or even Russia.
If a war breaks out, China's Dongfeng 21, Dongfeng 31, and Dongfeng 41 are all within its interception range.
The THAAD missile system is definitely the most advanced long-range high-altitude interceptor missile in the United States. South Korea is considering deploying two sets of units at home, and the price of one set of THAAD is about 1 trillion to 2 trillion won. What is the concept? The price of a set of THAAD is more than 1 billion US dollars.
Moreover, according to the US regulations, the THAAD system is arranged in that country, and the fee is paid by that country. However, this is not a purchase, it is a layout. Even if the United States arranges the THAAD system in South Korea, its right to use is still in the hands of the Americans.
No wonder South Koreans took to the streets to stop the deployment of THAAD missile systems in South Korea.
This is to treat Koreans as suckers.
The early arrangements required the Koreans to spend more than 3 billion US dollars, and there were also high maintenance costs in the later stage. It was estimated that the total expenditure would be about 9 billion US dollars in the end. This money would need to be paid by South Korea, so Muyang laughed.
Americans are so good at playing this trick. Using Korean money to deploy their own defense system is really a typical American thinking.
Shear wool on allies.
China has also done a lot of data analysis on this. If South Korea deploys THAAD, it will indeed be a threat to China's strategic deployment.
If China can really get a THAAD system, especially if it understands its most important radar system, it can completely crack the THAAD system. It can not only strengthen its own missile defense system capabilities, but most importantly, it can understand the US system and therefore formulate a plan that can avoid the US missile interception system.
Is it useful to China to get a THAAD system? There is no doubt that it is of great use.
Lu Guozhi shouted in his heart, he must take it, this thing must be taken.
Lu Guozhi was excited, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked, "I don't know how much Mr. Luca is going to offer."
"There are 3 billion US dollars, launch vehicles, missiles, radar vehicles, system command vehicles, and other auxiliary systems, as are quite a lot." Luca said.
Lu Guozhi frowned slightly, 3 billion US dollars, to be honest, it is indeed a bit expensive.
