Chapter 37:Deal(part 2)

"What kind of information are you talking about?" General Liam said to Anik.

"Where can I find many large amounts of hordes of zombies near this city?" Anik said to General Liam.

"The largest I have heard was in Jacksonville not far from us. Why do you want to know that?" The general said to Anik with confusion.

"I can't tell you that. How big was that horde?" Anik asked him the location of Jacksonville without answering his question.

"There were around 50 thousand zombies in Jacksonville walking together approximately when I heard from the radio a week ago." The general said to Anik.

"How far is this Jacksonville from this city? How long do we have to drive to get there by a jeep?" Anik asked General Liam.

"Well, it's around 440 miles from here to Jacksonville." General Liam said to Anik.

"In km?" Anik asked with a smile.

*Sigh*" It's around 660km," General Liam said to Anik.

"That will take at least a few couples of hours if the road is not blocked or destroyed. Is there any other solution to go there faster?" Anik asked General Liam.

"You can take our helicopter with you if it makes our soldiers stronger." General Liam said to Anik.

"Now that problem is solved what weapons can you give me which can do most areas of damage to the horde of zombies?" Anik asked General Liam.

"We have two weapons which you wanted. They are:-

1.JavelinFGM-148 or Advanced Anti-Tank Weapon System-Medium (AAWS-M).

2. Precision Shoulder-fired Rocket Launcher-1 also known as the (PSRL-1).

From the two which one or how many do you want of them." General Liam said to Anik.

"Right now I need just one. Can I have a brief description of both of them? So I can choose better." Anik said to General Liam.

"Sure,1. The Javelin missile is an advanced anti-tank weapon system designed to provide precision firepower against armoured targets. Developed by the United States and the United Kingdom, it combines a powerful missile with a unique guidance system for exceptional accuracy. The missile is shoulder-launched and weighs around 22 pounds (10 kg), making it portable and ideal for infantry soldiers.

Equipped with a tandem-charge high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, it can penetrate even the thickest armour. The Javelin features a fire-and-forget guidance system utilizing an infrared seeker and command guidance, allowing it to accurately track and engage targets at distances of up to 2.5 miles (4 km).

Its versatility, reliability, and precision make the Javelin missile a formidable asset on the modern battlefield.

2. (PSRL-1) missile is a cutting-edge, advanced surface-to-air missile system designed for exceptional performance in both air defence and anti-ballistic missile roles. With its sophisticated guidance and tracking capabilities, it possesses extraordinary accuracy and range, capable of engaging targets across vast distances.

With a skilled operator, the RPG-7 has a maximum effective range of about 1,000 feet for a moving target and 1,600 feet for a stationary one (although it is normally used from within 150 feet of the target).

The PSRL-1 missile characterizes power, speed, and range. With its advanced propulsion system, it can travel at immense speeds, reaching targets in a matter of seconds, thus minimizing the risk of interception. Its long-range capabilities enable it to engage targets located at a considerable distance, providing a strategic advantage on the battlefield." General Liam said to Anik.

"Which one is better for hordes of zombies?" Anik asked General Liam.

"While the Javelin missile is highly effective against armoured vehicles, the PSRL-1 has the potential to cause a larger area of damage depending on the munition used. The choice between the two would depend on the specific mission requirements and target characteristics." General Liam said to Anik.

"If PSRL-1 is better than javelin for zombies then, let's do a test run of it," Anik said to General Liam.

"Sure, soldiers prepare the test area PSRL-1 test." General Liam said to the soldiers outside.

The soldiers immediately went to tell the military expert in missiles for the test.

"Now, Let's go to the testing ground." General Liam said to Anik stood up and walked towards the vehicle's parking area. Anik followed him behind.

"How far is the testing ground?" Anik asked General Liam.

"A little far away from the camp in an open area. You will see." General Liam said to Anik and got in his jeep with a driver. Anik also got on the jeep.

After that, I went towards the front gate. The guards didn't stop them and they directly went towards the test area.

After some time they reach their destination. After getting out of the jeep, General Liam ordered a soldier to take out a PSRL-1.

"Again the PSRL-1 (Portable Surface-to-Air Rocket Launcher) is a portable missile system primarily designed for surface-to-air defense. Before handling and using the PSRL-1 missile, it is crucial to understand and follow all safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer. This includes wearing the appropriate protective gear, operating in a suitable environment, and following proper handling procedures.

Study the user manual and become familiar with all the components of the PSRL-1 system. This includes the missile launcher, aiming and tracking systems, trigger mechanisms, and safety mechanisms. I will give you the manual of it later.

Ensure that the missile launcher is set up on a stable platform or ground, providing a solid foundation to fire. Confirm that the launcher is in a suitable position to engage the intended target.

Power on the aiming and tracking systems associated with the PSRL-1 missile launcher. Follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer to activate and calibrate these systems.

Attach the missile to the launcher as per the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the missile is correctly secured and aligned with the launch tube.

Use the aiming and tracking systems to acquire and lock onto the target. This may involve manually tracking the target or utilizing automated tracking systems, depending on the capabilities of the PSRL-1 missile launcher.

Ensure that all safety mechanisms and triggers are properly set. This may involve disengaging any safety locks or activating specific launch control systems.

Once the target is acquired, and all systems are ready, activate the launch trigger or initiate the firing command as per the provided instructions. The missile will be propelled out of the launch tube and towards the intended target.

After launching the missile, continue to monitor its trajectory and make necessary adjustments if possible. Some missile systems may have limited or no mid-course guidance, so monitoring and course corrections may not be feasible.

Austin, show him how to shoot a missile." General Liam said to Austin his assistant who was in full armour holding the PSRL-1 steadily in stable form. He then aims towards a 500-foot (152m) broken car with an aiming and tracking system and locks the target.

*Booooooooom*

After he removed the safety trigger, he activated the launch trigger and the missile propelled from the launch tube and straight hit the car and destroyed it with its surroundings very easily.

"Are you satisfied with it?" General Liam asked Anik.
