Chapter 901: Burning Saudi
At this moment, the Saudi Ministry of Defense has become a mess, and the two armored divisions were the first to be attacked, and the battle damage is not yet known.
Just after receiving information from the Pentagon, the Saudi Ministry of Defense immediately contacted all the troops and immediately carried out air defense.
In fact, the radar in Saudi Arabia has also developed incoming missiles, and even without an order from the Ministry of Defense, they have all begun to prepare air defense.
But the order for air defense was given, but the missiles came too suddenly.
The three large oil fields in Saudi Arabia, the nearby army has not yet made any response, and the missiles that fell at more than seven times the speed of sound turned the three large oil fields into a sea of fire in an instant.
Dense missiles were scattered, letters attacked munitions, small bombs rained down like rain, and a large number of drilling wells and oil depots covered the blast radius.
The warhead of a missile is as high as 500 kilograms, and the warhead is full of dense submunitions, and the charge of each submunition reaches two kilograms.
One missile is more than 200 submunitions, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
Moreover, all the bombs were special explosives similar to solid incendiary bombs, and the dense explosions formed a huge sea of fire, covering almost all the oil field facilities.
A large number of workers in the oil fields, it is not clear what is going on, just a brief air raid siren sounded, and then there was no then.
Those who are lucky may still have a chance to survive, and those who are unlucky have been directly engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
However. The real catastrophe was not the flames from these explosions, but the fact that all the oil wells drilled in the oil fields were set on fire.
The crude oil was all burned in the flames, and the starlight could have been seen. In an instant, everything was covered by thick smoke, and the black curtain formed by the thick smoke instantly covered the top of everyone's heads.
Everywhere there was a bright red fire, and the whole land was full of billowing plumes of smoke.
Crude oil is like a flame that is spewing out everywhere. Spread out in the oil fields, every now and then a violent explosion sounds.
Under the billowing smoke, you can only see many staff members trying to find a way to extinguish the flames. But under such a fierce fire, a large amount of crude oil becomes a raw material for combustion, which is not normal at all and can be extinguished.
And the fire that spread also ignited a large number of oil pipelines. Especially those pipes that were blown up under an explosion. A large number of explosions are mainly coming from these pipes.
Although the surviving crews have done everything they can to stop the spread of the disaster, shutting down all the drilling of oil wells and all the pipelines, the disaster has not been well controlled.
However, compared to these oil fields, the ports of Cape Tanoura and Vlaki are more like hell on earth.
A large number of missiles hit these two ports, despite the Saudi anti-aircraft missile forces. Several Patriot anti-aircraft missiles were fired, intercepting three attacking missiles. But the remaining missiles still destroyed two huge ports.
Most of the missiles in response to missile strikes in Saudi Arabia are concentrated in these two ports.
The total number of missiles attacking oil fields is about 60, and the number of missiles attacking the two ports is as high as 100.
In particular, the port of Cape Tanoura has been taken care of, and the inverted missiles that attack here are not cluster munitions, but all of them are extremely destructive penetrating bombs, and the key targets of the attack are given priority to all the oil depots in the port.
A missile with a 500-kilogram charge, plus the power of the explosion of the remaining fuel, turned all the oil depots into even more terrifying super bombs in the blink of an eye.
The oil depots hit by the missiles all exploded with a bang, and the power of the explosion of the large oil depots, even in the distant cities, a large number of doors and windows were shattered.
The huge sound and impact of the explosion caused a large number of workers in the port to be instantly shocked to death under the explosion.
In particular, those underground oil depots, under the penetrating power of missiles, penetrated deep into the depots and exploded, and many underground oil depots were directly detonated, as if the entire port was about to be torn off.
A large number of facilities in the port were quickly submerged in the explosion, and the heat radiation brought by the burning crude oil also quickly ignited a large number of houses and warehouses around, and the neatly placed barrels of crude oil were cans of explosives.
In less than a minute, there was no safe place in either port.
Even those ships docked in the harbor were all affected by the explosion, especially those oil tankers that were loading crude oil, all of them were affected by the explosion, and they burned up, and a secondary explosion could occur at any time.
The ships outside the harbor all left in a hurry, and as on the harbor, there was chaos everywhere.
No one thought that such a situation would suddenly appear, and the attack was so sudden that no one could parry it.
In the harbor, there is hardly any intact place to be seen, and the sky has not yet lit up, but the light of the burning fire, even from more than a hundred kilometers away, can be seen.
The billowing smoke could be seen even from 200 kilometers away.
The pungent smell in the air permeated all the nearby cities, and countless people were awakened by the sound of explosions, shattering some of the wounds that the glass casually caused to ordinary people.
The city is full of chaos, the streets are full of terrified civilians, and all kinds of whizzing police cars and fire trucks.
All the nearby military departments were rushed out and all joined the rescue team, but under such an attack, it was more in vain.
For Saudi Arabia, however, the real catastrophe has just begun, and residents of Riyadh, who are far away, have just been awakened by the sound of explosions and immediately hear a piercing air defense siren.
At the same time, Riyadh's anti-aircraft firepower reacted in a timely manner, and a large number of anti-aircraft missiles rose into the air and flew towards the missiles that fell rapidly in the sky.
The ground anti-aircraft weapons also all spewed out dense tongues of fire, hoping to block the falling missiles as much as possible.
However, there were too many missiles attacking Riyadh, and there was no way to intercept all of them in one go.
Such an attack may only be possible in the capital defense circles of those big countries to intercept all of them under the layers of interception nets.
However, Saudi Arabia does not have such interception capabilities, and even if it is the defense network of the capital area, it is only the most basic two-tier interception mechanism.
In just one minute, the four Patriot anti-aircraft missile battalions have fired a salvo of more than a dozen anti-aircraft missiles, and the various anti-aircraft weapons of the two air defense brigades are also trying to lay a barrage over the city as much as possible. (To be continued.) )
