@escobar The Chinese truly a Mercantile race equipping both side, Algeria and Morocco No Ideology Purely Business!
Shades of the Iran-Iraq War.
@siegecrossbow Sir I'm amaze really how the Chinese were able to get away with this, the perfect example of the Win Win strategy,
the tension between the two countries dated back 50 years ago. Algeria should look to France her former colonizer for military assistance. Instead the Chinese fill the void and Morocco the Second most pro Western nation in North Africa after Egypt also look East. It only show the deftness of China's diplomatic corps and its non intervention policy.Algeria's military has had a connection to Russia since back the time of the Soviet Union when they supported Algeria's war for independence. They are one the major Russian weapons clients. Morocco typically buys their weapons from the West.
@gelgoog And that too, forgive me Bro forget to highlight the important contribution the Russian had given.
Interesting information:
The ballistic missile intercept range of a dual-function anti-aircraft system is largely smaller than the intercept radius of atmospheric threats. In general they are 5 times smaller.
In the case of the FD-2000B if it has a range of 250 km against aircraft as mentioned in the text it would be able to intercept ballistic missiles at about 50 km. If the range against aircraft is 125 km as in the graph this distance would be about 25 km.
Of course, these are general estimates and have to do with the physics of intercept and radar detection.
Another interesting fact about endoatmospheric antiballistic missiles is that the intercept radius decreases as the speed of the ballistic “missile” (or the reentry vehicle) increases.
For example, if a given system is capable of intercepting a re-entry vehicle that dives at 2 km/s relative to a short-range missile, within a radius of 50 km, a re-entry vehicle at 3 km/s relative to a missile medium range, would be intercepted at 30 km, one at 4 km/s at 15 km, etc. *I do not pretend to be exact in the numbers, being just illustrative)
An interesting data from the unmissable graph makes it clear that a low-flying subsonic cruise missile that flies close to the ground is more difficult to intercept (15 km intercept radius) than a high-flying supersonic cruise missile (50 km of intercept radius).
