Chapter 1057: Explosion!
256 uncontrolled rockets, the caliber is only 57 mm, which seems not big, but in fact, their power is very large, and the killing radius of a single rocket has reached 12 meters!
The two Mi-24s will not use point precision shooting, but side-by-side close and large-area firepower coverage, a large target area of more than 200 meters wide and 400 meters long is completely covered by the fire of the rocket explosion!
A whole 256 rockets smashed down on the brain, not to mention the official residence of the governor of the capital of Menongai, and even a large circle of other buildings in the vicinity were covered by a rain of rockets, and a few anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft gun positions set up in the open air were completely covered by flames, shock waves, and dense shrapnel.
UNITA with anti-aircraft guns ...
The 23mm thing is improvised, and the anti-air shooting is the ability to fight mosquitoes for this group of black soldiers, and it is not even clear how far in advance, which is also the ability to deal with hovering helicopters.
Now it's okay, you don't even have to fight mosquitoes, this human body is torn apart by explosions and monoliths, and it's completely over!
Because the target main building is in the center of the rocket coverage, it is in the central area of the two Mi-24 firepower coverage superposition, and the impact point of the bomb is more dense, and a few of them even penetrate the building and explode!
But the power of the 57mm rocket is a little less powerful after all, the warhead weighs less than 2 kilograms, and it is not capable of completely destroying the main building, and there is no guarantee that the Savimbi living inside has been blown up into the sky.
If this trip uses 80 mm air-to-ground high-explosive rockets that can quickly catch up with 122 mm grenades, then the house is estimated to fall.
The warhead of an air-to-ground rocket is much more charged with explosives than a barreled gun, and the blasting power is naturally more intense.
This trip of 8 helicopter gunships is a decapitation operation, even if the house is blown up, it is still not enough insurance, it must ensure that the target person is dead: soon the mass killer will come down, and the people hiding in the strong house will not want to survive!
Surely death!
Under the rain of rockets, the main building did not collapse, and many of the buildings around the compound of the official residence were military barracks built by UNITA in Menon, and these houses were not as strong as the governor's residence, and many of them were blown through the roofs and collapsed the doors and walls, and it is estimated that many UNITA soldiers were killed by a rain of rockets.
The two Mi-24s that had finished firing the rockets here turned back in a circle, and the speed began to slow down, and the 12.7mm Gatling guns in the noses of their respective planes turned to the target area.
No fire was fired, waiting for the first six Mi-24s to drop: the machine guns were not used against the enemy, but to prevent bad luck from 10,000 or 100,000.
If the 12 fuel-air bombs fail collectively and do not succeed in a secondary detonation, the high-explosive shells fired by these two large-caliber machine guns can play the role of secondary ignition.
The target area is on fire, but the shockwave ignition from an explosion within a small area is better!
Divided into two rows, one row of three Mi-24 aircraft at the same height, and the middle one is slightly forward - Alyosha's perspective is much clearer and more shocking than Guan Xingquan and others a few kilometers away, and he does not need to use machine guns to sweep ground targets at all.
The target and the surrounding area were surrounded by explosions!
Purely playing soy sauce, I heard Sasha in the back seat give a loud and elongated voice and order: "All attention, all attention... Bomb drop!
With the command to "drop the bomb", the plane seemed to be light, and Alyosha even felt that the landline was jumping up!
The ОДАБ-500ПМ Aviation Cloud Explosive Bomb weighs 520 kg and uses a single bomb body to charge liquid fuel and disperse/detonate explosives.
Now the perspective of Guan Xingquan and others in the distance is much better than Alyosha - 12 round long cylindrical low-drag missiles are almost smashed down at the same time: the parachute at the tail of the bomb is opened, and it can be seen clearly from the telescope, and the pilots of the six helicopters are so well coordinated as if they were operating alone.
They are all masters!
Watching the bomb fall down, I saw a large white smoke formed in a nearly rectangular area of tens of thousands of square meters, and then!
Huge bang!
In the face of technology, this person is so small!
There are no living people in the range surrounded by fire and shockwaves, and it is absolutely impossible to survive!
The operating manual says that the ОДАБ-500ПМ type aviation cloud exploded
More than 2,500 square meters were damaged to a living force without bunkers, about 1,800 square meters to a living force with bunkers, and 3,000 square meters to an aircraft on the tarmac!
Can a man be stronger than an airplane?
Absolutely nothing!
This "no cover" probably does not mean standing in the open air to be bombed, hiding in the trenches!
Fuel-air bombs, which exploded almost everywhere, were almost useless when hiding behind earthen walls and trenches.
That "with bunker" is really a solid bunker, anyway, a professional military bunker that is much stronger than the governor's mansion can be counted.
The 12 cloudburst bombs weighed a total of 6 tons, and the damage power of each one to an ordinary building was about the same as a 2,000-kilogram super-heavy high-explosive bomb during World War II!
How powerful is a two-ton high-explosive bomb?
Big, bigger than you think!
The cloudburst bomb is also a "thin-shell bomb", and the loading is extremely high, much larger than the ordinary high-explosive bomb. When these 12 cloudburst bombs were concentrated in an area of more than 10,000 square meters, they detonated almost at the same time, and some nearby buildings that were less solid were blown away by the overpressure!
This is true in the vicinity, not to mention in the explosion area, as for the relatively sturdy main building, half of it collapsed, and the rest of the place was blown away by the shock wave and the high-speed propulsion of the hot gas!
Oh, it's hot!
Not only is it a direct injury, the explosion is formed in pieces, and the vapor explosion clouds caused by each cloud burst bomb are also superimposed on each other, and the parts of each other that are relatively lethal are filled in.
Even if the main building of the target suffered the most damage, the absolute killing area of the bomb this time exceeded 30,000 square meters, and even if a very small number of people were not killed, burned, or roasted to death in a short period of time by the explosion, they still did not survive!
All the oxygen within tens of thousands of square meters has been consumed in an instant, and the wind speed is small, and it will take several minutes for the oxygen to cover this area again, even on the open flat ground, not to mention the remaining buildings, the people in this area will suffocate to death!
Second only to nuclear bombs, Guan Xingquan, who saw the power of large cloud burst bombs in the distance, felt a little chill in his back, and this situation had not been seen for many years.
A few seconds after the fire and the huge cloud of smoke rose, the ground shook, and ten seconds after the explosion came a loud and dull explosion, and the heart trembled unconsciously!
