Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 366 Successfully destroy the target

ps: It's gorgeous and carefree. At the beginning of the first two chapters-some people say that laser light will be reflected?Without the word mirror, it should be-some people say that laser light will be reflected by mirrors?

——————

The five V-1dd short- and medium-range ballistic missiles launched from Somalia did not encounter any interception. They flew smoothly to an altitude of more than 500 kilometers beyond imagination, and then began to adjust their attitudes relying on their own weight and gravity, and finally The first-level propulsion system dived back toward the ground hundreds of kilometers below.

When several V-1dd short- and medium-range ballistic missiles flew back from outer space and plunged into the atmosphere, the US military base was already in trouble.The cruise missile that has just struck from its position has begun to cause huge damage in the base.

It is basically impossible to intercept ballistic missiles at the end without adequate preparation.The best defense against ballistic missiles is during the launch phase of the missile.However, neither the US military's land-based base nor the surrounding Somalia have such means of interception.

In order to avoid being threatened by the Somali Air Force and missiles, the U.S. fleet has withdrawn to more than two thousand kilometers away. At such a distance, they have to rely on satellites to detect missile information.

It was the escort fleets of various countries on the Gulf of Aden, and they knew immediately after the ballistic missiles were launched.It’s just that it’s not a matter of hanging up high, no one is going to take care of these five ballistic missiles.This also includes a class 45 destroyer in the UK.

The United Kingdom did not allow the Americans to join the ranks of the coalition forces. It was the Iraq war that caused a huge wave of anti-war nationwide. Although the benefits given by the United States were very attractive, the United Kingdom did not continue to intend to follow the United States.

In this regard, the British fleet naturally ignored.

When returning from the atmosphere to the ground, a ballistic missile flying at Mach 11 only takes more than ten seconds to reach the ground.Calculated with Patriot air defense.It takes at least 13 seconds no matter how fast the radar finds the target until the air defense missile is warmed up and then lifted into the air.

In other words, when the US Patriot three air defense missile system has not yet intercepted, those V-1DD medium and short-range ballistic missiles have already hit the target.What makes the US military misfortune not singular is that now they don't even have the means to intercept.

The radar soldiers at the Prince Sultan Air Base of the Saudi U.S. Air Force, the Manda Bay Naval Base in Kenya, Kenya, the U.S. Fifth Fleet Command in Bahrain, and the U.S. Air Force drone base in Ethiopia on the outskirts of Albamenzi, watched the radar quickly Flying and approaching your own ballistic missiles, the only thing you can do is open your mouth wide and wait for the missiles to crash down.

Above these bases, the air defense sirens had screamed vigorously, and people ran out of the room desperately.Don’t think that they ran out of the room to intercept the missile. They did it because when the missile fell, it might be safer to take it outside than to stay indoors—at least when it’s outdoors, the house won’t explode. Collapsed, causing secondary damage.

In the sky above the base, three ballistic missiles fell vertically at an angle close to 90 degrees. As a result, the missile's surface area was reduced and the difficulty of interception was greatly increased.But obviously these ballistic missiles are unnecessary, because the Americans did not come up with any means of interception until the end.Only the few Phalanx 30mm rapid-fire cannons that are desperately intercepting are desperately splashing projectiles into the sky, but compared to five missiles falling at a speed of Mach 10, these interception weapons are obviously too much. Powerless.

The intense friction with the air caused the heat-resistant shell of the ballistic missile to have billowing thick smoke. The original exquisite painting had disappeared in the high-temperature combustion, and replaced by the black and hot iron shell that was smoked.But these are already very secondary, because in just a few seconds, a beautiful mushroom cloud will replace everything before.

"Boom boom boom..." With the dense shooting sound of rapid-fire machine guns and the crackling sound of small-caliber shells exploding, the five ballistic guides fell one after another, but the time they hit the ground seemed to be in no particular order.

Two v-1dd ballistic missiles equipped with penetrating warheads smashed from the take-off shells of the Prince Sultan Air Force Base. The hard-cut and sharp warheads carried the terrible kinetic energy enough to penetrate the entire aircraft carrier and easily pierced 3 meters of concrete. The cushion is directly drilled to a depth of more than ten meters below the surface.

As the fuze inside the projectile was triggered, two dull and violent explosions sounded. Two mud pillars soared into the sky, carrying a large number of concrete blocks and black soil into the sky, and more concrete blocks accompanied them to the surroundings. The radiation shock wave spreads layer by layer, expanding outwards like thousands of flying knives in a hurricane force. All objects that dared to block in front of them were blown high like fallen leaves in a typhoon, and then fiercely. Ruthlessly used to the ground.People standing at a distance can even see a layer of translucent shock waves that can be seen, spreading around the explosion point.It was like being thrown into a stone in a quiet pond, causing thousands of ripples.

As a large number of rubble and dirt fell from the sky like hail, a cloud of orange-red mushrooms gradually rose up on the runway of the air force base.A ballistic missile accurately hit the airport runway, blasting two flying artillery shells that could have taken off and landed a large military transport aircraft completely.Although the v-1dd ballistic missile is positioned as a short- and medium-range tactical missile, its warhead is not at all mid- and short-range.The warhead carried by the v-1dd medium and short-range ballistic missile is larger than the warhead of the Dongfeng-21 medium and short-range ballistic missile in Western countries and China, with a total load weight of 800 kg.

Just imagine, two ballistic missiles, one thousand six hundred kilograms of high explosive falling, what kind of damage will it cause?

When the gun smoke cleared, the answer was revealed.

Two v-1dds exploded on the runway of the Prince Sultan Air Force Base. The high explosive carried by the warhead exploded at a depth of 17 meters below the surface of the shell. The shock wave of the explosion immediately dug two deep two in the center of the airport shell. A large pit of more than ten meters and an area of ​​hundreds of square meters.And this is not the most critical thing. The key is the deep earthquake generated by the explosion, which shattered all the concrete on the airport runway.The shells that have been torn apart will no longer be able to take off and land combat aircraft without reconstruction.

Obviously, the Somalis’ ballistic missiles are not aimed at killing people, otherwise they would not choose the impact point on the runway.But even so, the shrapnel flying at high speed and the gravel and soil that were given great kinetic energy by the shock wave still bombed some warehouses and barracks close to the explosion site, and there is no accurate data for casualties. .Fortunately, many fighters have already lifted off when the cruise missiles come in, otherwise the consequences will be extremely sad.

Of course, there are also tragic things. A large amount of explosives and aviation fuel are directly burned. The United States, which is rich and powerful, cannot afford such a huge loss.

Now that's all right. Even though the United States still retains half of its air force at the Prince Sultan Air Force Base, after the airport shells were destroyed, those planes could no longer fly.And those fighters that took off can only temporarily live in other air bases.

The most troublesome thing is that the attack has not yet ended. The enormous power of ballistic missiles paralyzed the ground air defense network for 20 to 30 seconds. As a result, the supersonic cruise missile directly crossed the defensive circle, adding to the damage.

The other three places are not so good. Although the three bases only got one each, the result is much worse than the Prince Sultan base.

In particular, the Amanda Bay Naval Base in Kenya. Under the naval port, the US Navy stored a large amount of fuel for ships. The result was very sad. The missile hit just above the oil depot, and the underground oil depot was directly detonated.People use the fire to use the wind, and the result is that the missile uses the power of fuel.

After the entire naval base exploded, there was no complete turnaround at all, and the three protruding docks were also directly destroyed.

It was completely a catastrophe. Although the number of casualties was still unclear, one could see the result of those people inside the base that seemed to be lifted over.

The other two places are not good either. The huge losses are affirmative, and the subsequent cruise missiles also made this kind of damage further aggravated.

The U.S. coalition forces could not have imagined that after such a intensive attack by cruise missiles, they even dispatched ballistic missiles, which really caught people off guard.

Of course, the most sad thing for the U.S. military is that after searching for the U.S. and its three current allies, they did not find a conventional ballistic missile that could counterattack.(French and Italy, Gorgeous has never been able to find information! There is no such thing in Japan!)

In many cases, the deterrence is too strong, and this is the result.

Faced with such a ballistic missile soaring into the air, how can a country’s officer on duty in charge of missile warning not take the lives of its citizens as a bet on whether it has a nuclear warhead?For this kind of thing, the logic of most people is still to believe in what is there or not.

From a technical perspective, as long as sufficient financial support is obtained, the Trident nuclear missile can be replaced with a conventional warhead in a relatively short period of time, thereby forming a conventional global strike capability.In fact, as early as 2006, the US Department of Defense required the deployment of Trident conventional missiles within two years, but the US Congress refused to provide financial support for this weapon system until 2008.The reason is simple. It is difficult for other countries to distinguish whether the Trident missile carries a conventional warhead or a nuclear warhead.This alone puts the use of conventional ballistic missiles in global strikes facing great risks.

First of all, to outside observers, the Trident missile carried by the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, whether equipped with a conventional warhead or a nuclear warhead.It seems to be exactly the same-the same size, the same speed, the same launch position.Other ballistic missiles also have the same problem.Therefore, Russia and China, for example, will completely misjudge the launch of conventional missiles and believe that they have suffered a nuclear attack.

In this regard, Russia gave a warning at the outset.

The Russian side is worried: "Because we don't know what warhead the strategic missile you launched is carrying."

Putin also said: "The launch of such missiles may trigger misjudgments by other nuclear countries, leading to a large-scale nuclear counterattack."

This has also led to the idea that the United States wants to modify these intercontinental missiles into conventional warheads, which has become difficult to achieve.

In the face of such a strike against Somalia, the Americans found that they did not have the corresponding means of counterattack.The ballistic missiles developed by the United States are all guys capable of carrying nuclear warheads. As soon as these guys show up, if they really hit Somalia with a nuclear bomb.

Then the United States will instantly become the public enemy of mankind. When that happens, no one will really stand with him.It is also very likely to face sanctions from China, Russia and the United Nations, because then there will be no help to the United States.France and Italy and Japan will also stay far away.

However, the United States is not without a solution. The sky has brightened and the missile strike has reached the fourteenth wave. At this time, Dempsey called to stop.

On the satellite pictures, the devastated Bagua City showed him that the attack effect had achieved the expected goal.The main targets of the attack were finally destroyed. Although some of the targets in the Gossip City were still intact, the impact on the battle situation was not great.

In the coalition missile strike plan, the Somali government offices and the base where Li Lan lives are all key targets.Currently, this purpose has not been completed.But Dempsey knew better that if he continued to fight, it would only be a waste of money.

One night, fifteen waves of missile strikes have caused many different voices within the coalition forces, especially France and Italy, who have expressed protests against the profligacy of the United States.

In order to take care of the unity of the coalition forces and many important targets have been destroyed, Dempsey also issued an order to stop the attack.

However, the missile strike is over, but the war has just begun. After mediating the next four destroyed bases, he also officially issued the next stage of combat orders:

"Once the war begins, the Somali navy must be held in the Gulf of Aden as soon as possible. They cannot be eliminated and must not be allowed to move. At the beginning of the war, I hope all ministries can work together to complete the established combat missions."

In the combat meeting room, with the introduction of the four-star general, Dempsey stood in front of everyone and conveyed the combat command line by line: "At the beginning of the battle, Djibouti directed the coalition forces and cooperated with the air force to move towards Berbera. The Second Marine Expeditionary Force set out from Yemen to cooperate with Djibouti’s attack on the coalition forces.

One of the Ethiopian coalition forces, with the cooperation of the Ethiopian Army, marched out of Jijiga and attacked Hargeisa.

The first expeditionary force of the Marine Corps landed from the coastal town of Itami, which is facing Galkayo. It must cooperate with the remaining Ethiopian coalition forces to complete the occupation of Galkayo within twelve hours and completely cut Somalia into pieces. The north and south sections.

The coalition forces in Kenya have only one goal, and that is Mogadishu, occupying Mogadishu with the fastest Soviet Union.
