Pershing ballistic missile launch position in the Apennine Peninsula, Italy.

The officers and soldiers were waiting for the secret keys sent by the satellite. Finally, a verification signal appeared on the screen.

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

Everyone's expression was very serious. The launch process was different from their previous launch process, because this time it was a real nuclear bomb!

Outside, beside the crawler launch chassis, the milky white missile had already risen up. When the countdown reached zero, as the launcher pressed his hand on the red button, a hot flame appeared at the bottom of the missile, and white mist rose up, covering the entire launch position. The milky white missile rose from the ground.

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

At the same time, the launch of this missile was once again intercepted by Soviet reconnaissance satellites, informing Iraq of early warning.

If it were like before, the United States should have launched a wave of ballistic missile attacks. What effect does a single missile have? Therefore, the missile that arrived must be the one with the most lethality!

After receiving the information, Andre was stunned. He already knew that the most dangerous situation had occurred!

A sharp air defense alarm sounded over Baghdad, and all citizens were evacuating into the air raid shelter. At the same time, the S-200 air defense missile battalion in the suburbs of Baghdad also quickly prepared themselves.

Several soldiers wearing gas masks pulled the pipes of the fuel truck and completed the filling of the toxic fuel. The power generation car on the side rumbled, and sufficient electricity was supplied to the large radar on the side.

If you want to intercept targets of hundreds of kilometers, the radar can detect a longer distance. Therefore, the S-200 missile system has a huge radar system. In the Soviet Union, it is connected with an integrated air defense combat network, while in Iraq, it can only be operated alone.

Fortunately, the warning data has arrived, and they only need to aim the radar at the general target direction.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

After more than ten minutes.

"Discover the target." The radar soldier shouted loudly: "Speed ​​3 has exceeded our interception limit!"

When designing the s-200 missile, it mainly intercepts high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and other targets. Although it has the ability to intercept ballistic missiles through improvements, it only intercepts short-range ballistic missiles like Scud.

The range of short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles is caused by the different speeds of launch. Similarly, when they fall again from space, their splashing speeds are also different. Short-range missiles fall at less than two thousand meters per second, while medium-range missiles will have about three thousand meters per second. The largest intercontinental ballistic missile can even reach about seven thousand meters per second.

Different speeds lead to different interception difficulty, because the reaction time left to the intercepting system is different.

"There is no interception window, we can't find the interception window!" a missile soldier shouted.

The so-called interception window is the most suitable interception opportunity. It completes the interception mission in a predetermined airspace because the opponent's missile flies fast, so the time left for interception is very short.

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

When the ballistic missile falls, the ballistic characteristics are fixed. The areas where the ballistic missile is scheduled to splash will also be analyzed by computers. Through the calculation of the s-200 missile system, the target splash area information is obtained.

Not Baghdad!

The s-200 missile ballistic missile can only intercept short-range and mainly rely on nuclear warheads. Such warheads are not exported to Iraq. Therefore, although the missile battalion has just made all combat preparations, there is no confidence in actual interception.

It's not Baghdad! The information from the missile battalion reached the underground combat center in Baghdad, and Andre immediately issued an order: "Cancel the interception."

Musana Province! There are almost all deserts, American ballistic missiles, as long as they are not coming to Baghdad!

Interception is not sure, and now it is not a good plan to intercept the opponent's missiles in the landing stage. 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 residents of Iraq are all gathered in the Mesopotamia Basin. Since the American missile is launched in the direction of the desert, there is no need for one side to intercept it from the middle section, resulting in unexpected situations.

The Pershing ballistic missile flew past the Iraqi sky like a dazzling meteor, flying over the Mesopotamian River Basin. The speed further accelerated due to the fall, reaching about Mach 2.2. Then, below it, the green scenery had ended, and it changed to an endless desert.

The warhead had reached its end and continued to land. Just five hundred meters above the ground, the fuse inside exploded, and ordinary explosives first exploded. This explosion squeezed the internal nuclear raw materials and pushed them together. The chain reaction occurred in just a millisecond time, and the fission energy from the atomic nucleus was 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 had a temperature that exceeded the sun, melting everything around it!

Then, there was a rising mushroom cloud. The mushroom cloud was big on the top and small on the bottom, just like a black mushroom. This was a demon from hell, and was released!

The mushroom cloud is gradually rising, and at the same time, with the explosion as the center, the shock waves are scattered everywhere, and there is nothing below, all of them are sand. At this time, yellow sand is everywhere, and if it can hit people, it will turn into bullets!

The lizard under the sand didn't know what happened. Out of animal instinct, it curled up its body tightly. Then, the shock wave completely turned its body into a scum!

At this moment, it was brighter than a thousand suns, more violent than a tornado, and more terrifying than the most terrifying dark clouds. This is Pandora's box!
