Chapter 106

Because it seriously violated the principles of peace, security, and human rights advocated by the "Charter of the United Nations."

The United Nations once demanded that governments of all countries strictly comply with international humanitarian law and international human rights law.

This included prohibiting the use of weapons inconsistent with humanitarian principles, such as depleted uranium munitions.

However, the Ugly Country repeatedly went its own way, completely ignoring the United Nations' demands,

and even claimed that depleted uranium munitions were merely conventional weapons that would not cause any humanitarian harm.

Yet, anyone with eyes could see that the Ugly Country was speaking blatant lies.

Because this time, depleted uranium munitions were used against the capital of Syria and the Houthi armed forces in Yemen,

countries including the Dragon Country and the Brown Bear explicitly opposed this in the Anli Society.

Unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

Permanent members of the council, including John Bull and Gaul, remained silent on this matter.

The representative of John Bull even claimed that the Ugly Country had the right to use all means for retaliation.

It could be said that they took bias and flattery to the extreme.

However, regarding this, Syria and other parties were enraged.

Although both the Brown Bear and Iran had always supported Syria from behind the scenes,

both countries were limited by various factors, and the support they could provide was limited to some weapons and funds.

Moreover, the weapons could not be the most advanced.

Even the S-300 air defense system introduced by Syria was under the strict control of the Brown Bear's military within Syrian territory.

During this airstrike by the Ugly Country, the S-300 air defense system, which had been pinned with high hopes, failed completely.

Not to mention shooting down the stealth fighter F-35C, which had just been deployed on the Ugly Country's aircraft carrier,

it failed to shoot down even a single one of their F/A-18E/F Super Hornets.

This once made the Syrian side very disappointed with the Brown Bear's weapons.

As for the Brown Bear's more advanced air defense system, the S-400,

on one hand, as active equipment of the Brown Bear, its export was strictly restricted,

due to political and military reasons, and on the other hand, there was the price.

The price of a single S-400 air defense missile was 3.65 million US dollars.

If a large-scale deployment were carried out, Syria's current finances could simply not afford it.

Moreover, even if Syria really bought them, these weapons would need to be operated by the Brown Bear's military,

and the Syrian side would have no right to use them.

Undoubtedly, this created an obstacle for the Syrian side to launch a counterattack.

Thus, the Syrian side began to seek help from the DWS platform.

S-400 Air Defense Missile

Model: 40N6 Type

Unit Price: 1.2 million US dollars

That's right; compared to the Brown Bear's selling price of 3.65 million US dollars, the DWS platform's price was only equivalent to one-third of the Brown Bear's.

However, the actual price of this missile in the system was 200,000 US dollars,

equivalent to a Brown Bear T-72 tank.

Of course, this was merely the price of the missile, not the entire S-400 air defense system.

For now, Lin Yi had not yet unlocked the radar system.

But even so, the Syrian side ordered 100 units of the 40N6 type air defense missiles in one go that very night.

At the same time, the Syrian side also hoped to acquire an aircraft carrier killer missile to deter the Ugly Country's carriers.

In response, Lin Yi recommended the Dragon Country's Yingji-18 (YJ-18) to them,

which was a new generation of anti-ship missiles developed by the Dragon Country, possessing powerful striking capability and precision.

It was an indispensable sharp sword in the Dragon Country's maritime strike system.

It had been called "the anti-ship missile closest to perfection" by the intelligence department of the Ugly Country's Navy.

The Yingji-18 adopted a unique "subsonic-supersonic combination" flight mode; after launch, it first flew at a constant speed of 0.8 Mach (approximately 274.4 meters per second).

Upon approaching the target, it rapidly switched to a supersonic flight state of 2.5 to 3 Mach (857.5 meters per second to 1029 meters per second), delivering a fatal blow to the target with lightning speed.

Early conservative data indicated that the effective range of the Yingji-18 was about 400 kilometers,

but for the 2020 model, its strike distance had long exceeded 600 kilometers.

Most importantly, this missile was cheap.

Single unit price: 1.5 million US dollars.

System price: 250,000 US dollars.

It should be known that this missile began preliminary research by the Dragon Country around the year 2000, underwent land-based boost phase experiments in 2009,

and conducted its first live-fire test in 2014.

This missile model referenced the Brown Bear's 3M54 submarine-launched anti-ship missile, with a range more than double that of the former, reaching about 600 km, capable of 360-degree omnidirectional attacks,

and compared to the Navy's first-generation "Yingji-82" submarine-ship missile, its attack range had expanded by nearly 600 times.

This missile was a new type of subsonic-supersonic combined anti-ship missile, possessing sea-state adaptive ultra-low-altitude sea-skimming flight capabilities, with the world's lowest flight altitude, strong anti-interference ability, capable of precisely attacking one specific vessel among multiple ships, and its comprehensive performance led the world.

Compared to its predecessor, the Yingji-12, which was also the Dragon Country's fourth-generation anti-ship missile,

firstly, the Yingji-18 had one more vertical launch capability than the Yingji-12; specifically, the former had an additional pair of folding fins.

This change allowed the Yingji-18 to resolve the drawback of the Yingji-12 being too large in size and difficult to adapt to the launch canisters of the Dragon Country's destroyers.

The Yingji-18 could be launched from platforms including land bases, warships, and bombers.

It can be said that this is an anti-ship missile currently still in the experimental stage in Long Country.

However, on the DWS platform, it is already on sale as the new 2020 model.

One can imagine how terrified various nations are by this update to the DWS catalog.

Who could be happy seeing their active-duty, or even super-active-duty, equipment being sold off like this?

After learning about the performance of the Yingji-18, Syria...

...immediately and happily ordered fifty units.

Added to the S-400 missiles, the total price came to 195 million US dollars.

Lin Yi's transaction volume surged dramatically that very night,

leaving less than 60 million US dollars needed for the next upgrade.

"I have already sent the relevant missile usage videos to your side!"

That night, Lin Yi was extremely enthusiastic toward this major client.

Although he could not conjure up the radar systems for the S-400 air defense missiles,

since the S-400 air defense missile model is a further integration and performance upgrade based on the S-300, it possesses the capability to be compatible with S-300 air defense missile systems.

In other words, the S-400 model can achieve full compatibility with the previous generation's systems, allowing for shared information and data interlinking.

Therefore, the Syrian air defense forces can completely utilize the S-300 launch platforms to fire the more advanced S-400 missiles.

The S-400 missile's advanced guidance system will boost Syria's air defense capabilities by a significant margin.

Additionally, the Hu Sai armed forces were not to be outdone.

Immediately after this attack, they issued a statement:

They would teach the invading Ugly Country aircraft carrier a lesson.
