Chapter 587 Pershing Missile

As they passed each other, Tommy felt beads of sweat on his forehead, and at the same time, he became more confident in his plane.

The F-117 is an aircraft that cannot be discovered by anyone! It is not only radar-invisible, but also infrared-invisible and visually-invisible. The dark night sky is their best protection!

The tail nozzle eliminates the tail flame in a special way, so it cannot be detected even in the night sky!

After flying over the two Iraqi planes that he suddenly encountered, Tommy breathed a sigh of relief and continued to fly forward in his fighter plane.

After re-adjusting its direction at the last guidance point, Tommy's attack aircraft quickly flew over the target of his mission.

Saddam International Airport is a dual-use military and civilian airport. The hangar for military aircraft on one side of the airport is the target of its bombing!

Guided by a laser beam invisible to the naked eye, the guided bomb flew towards the target hangar, and then a huge explosion occurred below.

The concrete-reinforced hangar was penetrated directly from the top, and then the bomb exploded inside. The explosion was extremely violent, and the flames almost swept the entire hangar area. Rows of solid hangars collapsed, and the air waves even affected the civil airliners parked on the other side of the airport! A huge fireball rose, releasing a mushroom cloud like a nuclear bomb explosion.

Fuel-air bomb! Only this kind of extremely powerful weapon can have this kind of effect!

Somewhere in southern Italy.

It was still afternoon here. In a manor surrounded by fields, several missile vehicles suddenly appeared. The missiles on the top of these tracked vehicles were rapidly erected, and they were surrounded by people in American military uniforms.

Pershing 1, this solid-fuel ballistic missile, is on the verge of being eliminated. From deployment to elimination, it was thought that not a single one had been launched. But now, they have finally ushered in the day of their own use!

The warheads of the missiles pierced the sky. Five minutes later, hot flames emerged from the tails of the missiles, and the flames covered the entire sky!

At this moment, a reconnaissance satellite in the outer sky keenly detected the flames of the missile launch and immediately triggered Moscow's strategic early warning system.

What was going on? Was a nuclear war about to start? The rubber sleeve anti-missile system around Moscow was also rapidly entering a counterattack state, and the Soviet leaders working in the Kremlin began to follow the planned emergency plan of entering underground fortifications.

When Andropov hurried into the underground bunker, holding the briefcase with the nuclear button, he asked the person next to him breathlessly: "What's going on?"

"I'm sorry, Comrade General Secretary, it was just a false alarm. The Americans launched five ballistic missiles, and our target was not us. We have now analyzed the trajectory and found that they were launched towards Iraq. We are calculating the specific splashdown point." The commander of the Strategic Rocket Forces said to Andropov.

The American Pershing 1 missiles are medium-range with a range of less than two kilometers. These missiles were originally deployed in West Germany, ready to attack the Soviet army's frontline institutions in the first round of fighting, but now, they have changed their targets and are aimed at Iraq!

They did not launch missiles in West Germany in order to avoid provoking the Soviet Union. After all, the two sides were confronting each other on the border between East and West Germany, and large-scale military operations could break out at any time. If the United States dared to launch missiles in West Germany, the East German army might attack the next moment!

They secretly moved to Italy and launched these missiles on the Apennine Peninsula! Obviously it was a retaliation for the ballistic missile attack on Iraq!

Unfortunately, the Americans did not have the right weapons at hand. The range of the Lance ballistic missile was too short, only 120 kilometers, while the range of the Pershing missile was too long, nearly 2,000 meters, which was really an overkill.

"Will these American missiles have nuclear warheads?" Andropov asked. This was what he was most concerned about. After all, the Americans had issued a nuclear threat before!

"Probably not. Most of the Pershing missiles are equipped with conventional warheads, and the Americans will not easily provoke a nuclear war, especially now that Iraq is targeting Israel for revenge," Defense Minister Ustinov said. "Now it depends on how Iraq responds."

"By the way, Andrei is still in Baghdad, right? Is he in danger?" Thinking of Andrei, Andropov was also extremely concerned.

"Baghdad has underground fortifications that can prevent nuclear attacks. Andrei cannot leave Baghdad now. Saddam was killed in the bombing. This is the best opportunity for Andrei to control Iraq," said Ustinov.

Andropov put his hands on the armrests of the chair and slowly clenched them. At this moment, he just wanted Andrei to be safe and really wanted him to come back. It was really a powder keg there! After all, those guys who believed in the true God were stubborn and easily incited. Andrei was now sitting on the crater of a volcano.

To create an immortal cause for the Soviet Union, we must rely on generals like Andrei! Sending Ekaterina to Andrei was originally thought to make Andrei's life more stable. Now it seems that Andrei's life will always be so vigorous.

At the same time, news of the United States launching ballistic missiles also reached Iraq.

It's another sleepless night! The American stealth aircraft has come to bomb Iraq again. This time, the Americans mainly target Iraq's air force bases! Several bases in the south have been bombed, and this is only in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, the Americans will definitely come again!

"Our border radar detected several large aircraft flying over northern Saudi Arabia. These large targets should be American aerial refueling aircraft. These stealth aircraft have a high fuel consumption rate, so they will be refueled in the air after entering and leaving Iraq." As the American bombing was over, Andre was already analyzing the specific situation: "So, we only need to draw a circle with this aerial refueling point as the center and a radius of one thousand kilometers. All air force bases in this area may be the take-off and landing bases of their stealth aircraft. And our next step is to blow up these bases."

Since the stealth aircraft cannot be detected for the time being, just blow up the stealth aircraft together with the take-off and landing base. This is a violent method, but it will solve the problem once and for all!

And when this circle is drawn, the answer is already obvious.

"Report, Moscow has sent an alarm, the Americans launched five ballistic missiles on the Italian peninsula, targeting our military base in the north!" At this moment, the arrival of a piece of news made everyone's face change.
