Chapter 297: The Burning of the City

Although the nearly 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from Turkey, Israel, and the Mediterranean, and after launch, they flew to their targets: all the air bases in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Iran, so they seem to be scattered. And in fact, if you zoom out from a higher and farther perspective, you can see a real rain of missiles, which is spreading to the entire Middle East!

The overwhelming array of missiles, the thick smoke that obscured the sky, and the flashing bright tail flames all became a unique night scene in the Middle East on the night of 17 October.

Killing is coming!

Although Agad had foreseen the attack and quickly deployed the Comet missiles around all the air bases through the Guò air and space transport planes, it was still a bit hasty and it was impossible to have full anti-aircraft firepower at all bases, so it was not surprising that the first results of the NATO allies were soon there.

Located in the northwestern corner of Syria and bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the Latakia airbase bore the brunt of missile air strikes due to its proximity to the Turkish and NATO fleets.

At the same time, because of the important strategic location of Latakia, it is completely like a sharp knife piercing Turkey and the Mediterranean, so it has been attacked by the "tomahawk".

I don't know if it should be an honor for Latakia or a misfortune for this beautiful city on the Mediterranean coast!

There are only 40 "Comets" deployed around the airport!

Syria cannot be blamed for this, but it is not possible to determine the real targets of NATO missiles, so some of the "Comets" were scattered around large cities, important ports and oil fields, and as a result, some air force airfields were under-defended.

Fortunately, the speed of the "Tomahawk" is not fast, its altitude is not very high, and it is completely within the striking range of ground antiaircraft machine guns and antiaircraft guns, and it is not only possible to intercept it by relying on "Comets" -- at least in the Gulf War, the Bosnian War, and the Yugoslav War, the interception rate of the "Tomahawks" exceeded 10 percent!

And it's all thanks to anti-aircraft firepower.

"Tomahawk" is not invincible!

Thus, as soon as the missile group crossed the black sea of the Mediterranean, pulled out straight waves, and as soon as it entered the beach outside the city of Latakia, the anti-aircraft positions deployed on the beach and around the city were instantly activated, and the flames from the muzzles of the anti-aircraft guns lit up the night sky.

Even more dazzling than artillery fire were missiles fired from various anti-aircraft positions.

As a cross-era individual missile, each "Comet" has received information and guidance support from the central control system. And these subsystems of the control system are installed on all "Tiansha" fighters. In other words, every air-space fighter has a small spirit!

With its powerful computing power and computing resources, this smart machine from the Meruk galaxy can easily guide 2,000 "comets" to attack, and can guarantee that it will never miss!

What's more, the "Comet" already has extremely strong target capture, locking, changing direction and striking capabilities, and the fate of these "Tomahawks" can be imagined.

…………

With the attack of the missile group, the Latakia anti-aircraft fire was in full swing, and in the deafening sound of the shell explosion, under the reflection of the continuous muzzle fire, a brighter tail flame suddenly rose from the ground, and almost at the same time, resolutely met the "Tomahawk" missile group!

They are like real comets, which have crossed time and space and completed the journey of life according to their own trajectory in a dizzying circle.

Denser fires burst over the beach, followed by a steady stream of explosions.

The "Comets" perfectly realized the value of their own existence, and the entire forty "Tomahawks" were blown up at the same time, and four more were pressed to the ground by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion, and finally completed their redemption on the beach close to land.

At that moment, the sky to the west of the city of Latakia was like a large-scale fireworks show, and the flames of the collective explosion of more than 80 missiles reflected the entire night sky!

Red and black flames and smoke appeared between heaven and earth, rolling in the sky, just like in this originally peaceful Middle Eastern night, a round of blood-colored sun reappeared.

The earth was shaking, the sea was boiling, and under the reflection of this war, the sound of explosions finally rumbled, like a spring thunder, endlessly.

This is the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, and it is the ecstatic roar of the Grim Reaper.

The cannibalism of human beings is the scene he wants to see the most. Because there can be more lives that will be harvested, and more souls that will be devoured!

Although the residents of Latakia were warned in advance, and most of them were hiding in basements or far from their urban habitats, the scene of such a huge explosion was still unsettling and terrifying. People are terrified and frightened, and can only pray aloud to Allah, Almighty, for peaceful peace. I hope to be protected by Allah and avoid this calamity.

Until this time, the missile swarms of NATO's allied forces had not caused any damage to the city of Latakia, as well as to the air bases on the outskirts.

However, in the rising flames, in the sound of explosions that had not yet subsided, the figures of six missiles, like demons from hell, appeared over the city like ghosts, and in the sky behind them, the flames of war were raging, the war clouds were thick, the heavens and the earth seemed to have been connected, and human beings could only suffer in the crucible of war!

The anti-aircraft machine gun positions placed on the houses roared, and because they were so close, a "Tomahawk" that had just swept over the houses was directly exploded. But after the explosion, the top floor of the house disappeared, and at the same time, a whole machine gun position disappeared......

During the high-speed flight through the city of Latakia, the Tomahawks were shot down by almost all of the anti-aircraft machine guns deployed on the roofs of the city.

The reason why I say almost is because in the end, two lucky missiles broke through the encirclement and attacked the air base on the eastern outskirts of the city as they wished!

Of course, with advance warning, the damage caused by these two "Tomahawks" was nothing more than blowing holes in the terminal building and the runway, and did not cause any other effects.

However, on the way through which the missiles must pass, the antiaircraft machine gun positions where the interceptors were carried out and the ordinary houses that were damaged as a result were hit by the impact of the Tomahawk explosion, in which 37 people were killed and many others were injured.

What's even more chilling is that a "tomahawk" that was hit in the tail wing, with its powerful warhead, suddenly plunged into a civilian house on the ground!
