1500 In the name of the President, the missile launch
In the battlefield war, the US military suffered heavy losses, and Iraq also suffered heavy losses.
Now both sides are waiting, waiting for the end of this war.
Even the whole world is waiting. Some people hope for peace, some people hope to watch the excitement, and some people hope that the more intense the war, the better, and the more miserable the two sides fight, the better.
Because, they make money through this war.
The original accumulation of capital is all sinful, and capitalists can even give up their lives for higher interests.
From the first time the US military began to attack Iraq to the bombing of their aircraft carrier, the commander-in-chief in charge of commanding the war pretended to be sick, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff committed suicide Xie Guo, the war was suspended for only 36 hours.
Everyone believes that the war will be suspended for a long time, but because of the United States' face, it started again from the long-range strategic intercontinental missiles that took off in the United States in less than 48 hours after the suspension.
As early as two days ago, the permanent underground silo of the 381st Strategic Missile Wing in Kansas was busy. A hundred meters deep underground was crowded with people. Hercules 2 intercontinental strategic missiles, which had been retired from the silo and sealed into the missile reserve warehouse next to them for almost five years, were once again stood in the silo.
These missiles were originally defused with liquid fuel. After two days of busyness, they not only dismantled the 10 million TNT equivalent nuclear warheads with the greatest destructive power in the United States, but also installed backup conventional high-explosive bombs that were originally only used for testing.
Hercules 2, the second-generation strategic missile in the United States, is mainly used to attack ground targets. It adopts inertial guidance, with a combat mass of 3500 kilograms, a maximum range of 11,700 kilometers, a hit accuracy of 900 meters, a bullet length of 33.5 meters, a bullet diameter of 3.1 meters, and a launch mass of 149.7 tons. The launch method is vertical underground launch.
Flying from the base of the 381st Strategic Missile Wing in Kansas to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, it took about an hour to land.
Here, there will be 8 large missiles that were originally retired to be launched into outer space at the same time...
“Fuel fill is completed!”
"The guidance system starts!"
"Target position input..."
"The detection system is ready to be completed..."
"The launch system is tested, the system is normal, the missile is in normal condition, and it can be launched at any time..."
A series of reports were reported to the person in charge half an hour before the time specified by the Ministry of Defense.
All kinds of preparations have been done.
Just obtain the president's authorization and enter the launch code of these missiles. The engine behind these missiles will ignite at the same time, and then push hundreds of tons of missiles, carrying warheads weighing more than three tons, and flew into outer space from each launch silo...
The Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, Rocky Mountains, is the largest strategic missile launch base in the United States. Within a radius of six kilometers, there are hundreds of Militia III intercontinental strategic missiles, deployed in a silo of 1,000 meters underground at a distance of every 500 meters.
This arrangement is based on the close deployment plan, that is, the close group, based on the theory of cannibalism - the effect of using debris caused by a nuclear bomb explosion to prevent subsequent missiles from attacking the missile launch base.
In this way, in this place that is far enough from the Soviet Union and close enough from either direction, the United States' most densely packed strategic missile launch positions were arranged.
At the same time, this base also houses 50 of the most advanced Peace Guard strategic intercontinental missiles in the United States.
This base is home to more than 200 strategic intercontinental missiles from the United States. This time, 23 long-range strategic missiles will be launched in this base.
From here, it is farther from Baghdad than the Kansas missile silo.
Of course, the two missiles here have enough range and are even much stronger than Hercules.
The Militia's three-type strategic intercontinental missile uses three-section propulsion of thermally launched, a new intercontinental strategic missile that mixes solid and liquid fuel. The third section is specially designed for re-entering the atmosphere, with the ability of sub-guided multi-warheads...
The missile is 18.2 meters long, with a maximum diameter of 1.84 meters, a range of 12,500 kilometers, a warhead weighs 1,088 kilograms, a launch weight of 34.5 tons, which is much smaller than the size of Hercules and other old-fashioned liquid-launched missiles... The improved NS-20 inertial balance guidance control system provides the circumferential error of strike accuracy within a range of 300 meters.
This missile will be the most launched this time. 20 will be launched over Baghdad.
Another more advanced Peace Guard, this missile is the latest strategic intercontinental missile just developed by the US military, with a length of 21.6 meters and a width of 2.33 meters. It has a range of 11,000 kilometers. It uses 3 solid fuels and 1 storageable liquid data spontaneous combustion propulsion system. It has a throwing weight of 3,175 kilograms. It uses inertial guidance and has a strike accuracy of pi error within 100 meters.
This time, the three peace guards are only used for experiments.
All missiles will be monitored in all aspects by the United States satellite systems that cover the entire earth's sky, radar stations in the United States, Europe, and experimental ships on the ocean.
"Mr. President, all the missiles are ready before launch." At this moment, Bush's heart is about to jump out.
His secretary reminded him.
The Minister of Defense went to the Middle East to command the war himself.
"How about Cheney?"
"The Minister of Defense just sent back the news that more than 1,200 fighter jets from us and the coalition forces have begun to take off. When our missiles attack, their fighter jet formation will not be able to bomb Baghdad in more than five minutes..."
"Connect all missile force commanders!"
Bush took a deep breath. Since the successful development of the strategic missile, no country has made such a large-scale strike against another hostile force.
Soon, the Marshton Air Force Base, Minnot Air Force Base, Warren Air Force Base, Grand Forks Air Force Base and other missile launch bases were all connected to the president's command system.
"In the name of the US president, for freedom, for..." The president said a lot of nonsense to these officers in the communication and command system, because if he didn't say it at this time, there might be no such opportunity in the future.
"The remote strike begins!"
In fact, the president needs to say only this sentence, or even only needs to start two words.
After the president finished speaking, starting from the base of the Kansas 381 Strategic Missile Wing, seven huge missiles roared and slowly rose towards the sky from the mountains. As the flames at the tail became more and more blazing, the speed became faster and faster...
"The Americans have launched missiles!" Soviet technicians discovered these seven missiles launched by the United States at the same time through the satellite network in the sky, and immediately reported the situation to their superiors...
"Take the surveillance video..." The senior Soviet military leaders had long known that the United States would use strategic missiles to strike Baghdad, so they were not surprised.
However, they were also worried that the Americans would take this opportunity to attack the Soviet targets. Therefore, when the generals were preparing to watch the fun, they still ordered all Soviet strategic missile launch bases to prepare according to the requirements of the supreme leader.
At such a critical moment, there must be no sloppy.
The entire Soviet Union was secretly nervous. All radar stations monitored the US intercontinental missiles with full power. As long as these missiles came towards the Soviet territory, the Soviet Union would launch a counterattack at a very fast speed. At least thousands of strategic missiles would be launched at the first time and then smooth out the entire United States!
Even European countries became nervous at this time.
It didn't take long for the first seven wave to take off, and more than 30 missiles rose directly from various missile bases in the United States. These missiles will return to the atmosphere after entering outer space...
After Bush issued the order, he sat in front of the big screen and watched the satellite surveillance paintings of the missiles.
The missile's launch trajectory is directly a parabola. After entering outer space, the flight attitude will be adjusted according to the distance of the target. When it reaches a certain altitude, the missile will fall again in the direction of the earth.
Driven by the engine at the tail, the speed is getting faster and faster with the acceleration of the earth's gravity...
"Be prepared for attack!" In the Soviet Kremlin, Gorba Woodman stared at the satellite surveillance screen with his eyes tightly, and looked at the American missile flight trajectory. In front of him was the button that controlled the Soviet Union's huge nuclear weapon launch.
Once the direction of these missiles was the Soviet Union, he would press the launch button without hesitation.
The same is true for the supreme leaders of the two countries, Britain and France.
Even if the allies, even if the Americans notified them and reassured them, they were still worried.
If a missile lands towards the Soviet Union, they will also be hit by the Soviets.
So, counterattack, this is a must.
Only in China, without a global satellite system, there is no way to see the American missile flight trajectory.
However, the top military leaders all sat together with serious expressions, waiting for news.
This time, the Americans were quite kind and still informed the Chinese leaders.
In Baghdad, there was no radar that could detect outer space at all. Saddam was still waiting for the imperialist paper tiger to surrender to them with great enthusiasm.
At least, we have to declare the end of the war and withdraw our troops. Just like Libya in previous years, neither side has achieved the defeat of the war.
"President, thousands of planes of the US and coalition forces are coming, targeting Baghdad..." When Saddam heard the news, he was stunned!
Chapter completed!
