Chapter 597: Growing Mushrooms

The Apennine Peninsula in Italy, Pershing ballistic missile launch site. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The officers and men of the operation waited for the secret key transmitted by the satellite, and finally, the signal of verification was displayed on the screen.

The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander of the missile battalion, the two of them stuffed their keys into the launch console, turned them synchronously, and the numbers on the console began the countdown.

Everyone's expressions were very serious, these launch processes were different from their previous launch processes, because this time it was a real nuclear bomb!

Outside, next to the crawler launch chassis, the milky white missile had already been erected, and when the countdown reached zero, as the launcher pressed his hand on the red button, the bottom of the missile burst into a blazing fire, and the white mist rose up, enveloping the entire launch position, and the milky white missile rose from the ground.

Launched! The commander of the missile battalion was not as relaxed as before, because he knew very well what the launch of this missile meant, and he left the command vehicle and looked at the missile in the sky until it disappeared from his field of vision.

At the same time, the launch of this missile, again intercepted by Soviet reconnaissance satellites, informed Iraq of an early warning.

If it is like before, the United States should launch a wave of ballistic missile attacks, and what is the effect of a single missile? Therefore, this incoming missile must be the most lethal kind!

After Andrei received the information, he was stunned, he already knew that the most dangerous situation had appeared!

Sharp air defense sirens sounded over the entire Baghdad sky, and all the citizens were urgently retreating to the bomb shelters, and at the same time, the S-200 anti-aircraft missile battalion on the outskirts of Baghdad quickly made their own preparations.

Several fighters wearing gas masks pulled the pipe of the fuel truck to complete the filling of toxic fuel, and the power generation truck on the side rumbled, and sufficient power was supplied to the large radar on the side.

If you want to intercept targets hundreds of kilometers, then the radar will be able to detect at a greater distance, so the S-200 missile system has a huge radar system, which was connected with an integrated air defense combat network on the territory of the USSR, and on the territory of Iraq, it can only be operated alone.

Fortunately, the early warning data has already arrived, and they only need to point the radar in the general direction of the target.

The atmosphere was tense.

Ten minutes later.

"Discover the target." The radar soldier shouted loudly: "Speed three, it has exceeded our interception limit!" ”

When the S-200 missile was designed, it was mainly used to intercept high-altitude reconnaissance planes and other targets, and although it had the ability to intercept ballistic missiles through improvement, it was only designed to intercept short-range ballistic missiles such as Scuds.

Short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles, the range of the range, is caused by the difference in the speed of launch, the same way, when falling from space again, they splash down at different speeds, short-range missiles, the speed of falling is less than 2,000 meters per second, while medium-range missiles will be about 3,000 meters per second, the largest intercontinental ballistic missile, can even reach about 7,000 meters per second.

The difficulty of interception is different depending on the speed, because the reaction time left for the interception system is different.

"There is no interception window, we can't find an interception window!" One of the missilemen shouted.

The so-called interception window is the most suitable interception opportunity to complete the interception mission in a predetermined airspace, because the opponent's missile flight speed is fast, and the time left for interception is very short.

"According to ballistic analysis, their target is not Baghdad, but Muthanna province in southern Iraq!"

When the ballistic missile falls, the ballistic characteristics are already fixed, and the area where the splash is scheduled will also be analyzed by the computer, and the information of the splash area of the target is obtained through the calculation of the S-200 missile system.

Not Baghdad!

The S-200 missile anti-ballistic missile can only intercept short-range ones, and it mainly relies on nuclear warheads, and such warheads are not exported to Iraq, so although the missile battalion has just made all combat preparations, there is no confidence in actual interception.

Not Baghdad! The information of the missile battalion reached the underground operations center in Baghdad, and Andrei immediately gave the order: "Cancel the interception." ”

Muthanna Province! It's almost all desert there, and the ballistic missiles of the Americans, as long as they are not coming towards Baghdad!

Even if the interception is successful, the wreckage of the missile will bring serious disasters to the local area, you must know that the main inhabitants of Iraq are all concentrated in the two river basins, and since the Americans' missile was launched in the direction of the desert, there is no need for the Chinese side to intercept it from the middle section, which will lead to an unexpected situation.

The Pershing ballistic missile flew through the Iraqi sky like a dazzling meteor, flying over the two river basins, and the speed was further accelerated by the fall, to about Mach 2.2, and then, below it, the green scenery had ended, replaced by an endless desert.

The warhead had reached the end of the line and continued to land, just at a height of 500 meters above the ground, the internal fuse detonated, and the ordinary explosive first exploded, and this explosion squeezed the nuclear materials inside and pushed them together. The chain reaction took place in a short period of milliseconds, and the fission energy from the nucleus of the atom was all released in an instant!

"Boom!" This explosion resounded throughout southern Iraq! At the moment of this explosion, a huge fireball appeared, and the center of the explosion, the temperature exceeded that of the sun, and everything around it was able to melt away!

Then, there is the mushroom cloud that rises, the mushroom cloud is large at the top and small at the bottom, like a black mushroom, this is a demon from hell, released!

The mushroom cloud was gradually rising, and at the same time, with the explosion as the center, the shock wave was scattered, and there was nothing below, all of which were sand, and at this time, the yellow sand was all over the sky, and if it could hit a person, it would become like a bullet!

The lizard under the sand, not knowing what was happening, out of animal instinct, it curled up its body tightly, and then, the shock wave made its body completely turn into slag!

At this moment, brighter than a thousand suns, more violent than a tornado, more terrifying than the most terrible dark clouds, this is Pandora's box!

The light radiation is gone, the shock wave is diffusion, and the nuclear contamination left behind will last for a long time. Here, it will be a dead place in the future! (To be continued.) )
