Chapter 575: Doomsday (Additional Chapter 2)

"Boom!" The warhead exploded several hundred meters away from the runway. Countless steel balls flew out from it, covering the entire base.

At this time, the A-10 attack aircraft had been forcibly pulled up by the pilot. In order to take off, the pilot even threw the rocket pod mounted outside directly down on the runway!

The wheels had left the runway and the A-10 was taking off, seemingly trying to leave this terrible rain of bullets.

Unfortunately, at this moment, a steel ball-like projectile hit the left wing of the A-10, and in an instant, the left wing turned into a huge fireball! The A-10 attack aircraft with its left wing broken off fell down, and the moment it touched the runway, it exploded into a ball of fire.

The pilot who ejected urgently opened his eyes and looked at the entire base. At this moment, it was a scene like hell.

The fighter planes that did not enter the hangar were blown into huge fireballs on the tarmac and runway. These planes were fully loaded with ammunition and fuel. As long as they were ignited, there would be a huge fire!

"Boom!" At this moment, another high-explosive warhead continued to fall and hit a hangar. This reinforced hangar could not withstand the attack of the high-explosive warhead and was instantly destroyed.

"No!" the pilot shouted in the air. He saw a warhead hit the oil depot in the distance. In an instant, a huge fire broke out! The aviation fuel billowed with thick smoke, covering the sky!

The attack lasted just one minute, and the entire base had lost its former vitality. The pilots of the A-10 attack aircraft that landed on the ground could not believe their eyes.

The entire base had been completely destroyed! There was thick smoke and fire everywhere, and it looked like the end of the world.

He is still alive, it feels really good.

His feet were on the soft sand. This place was already extremely hot. He needed to take two more steps back.

He stepped back step by step until he suddenly felt something hard under his feet.

"Boom!" Then, one of his legs turned into minced meat! It was a bullet that looked like a steel ball that had not exploded!

Blood gushed out rapidly from his lower body, his face quickly turned pale, and then his body fell backwards.

For the entire Prince Sultan Air Base, this day seemed like the end of the world.

For the U.S. Air Force, offensive air defense has always been the dominant force. Therefore, although there are air defense missiles near the Prince Sultan Air Force Base, they are only two battalions of **** missiles.

With the support of early warning aircraft, it is impossible for the Iraqi Air Force to break through the air defense network of the US Air Force. As long as the early warning aircraft guides the Saudi Air Force fighters to intercept, the safety of Saudi airspace can be guaranteed. Therefore, the air defense missiles of these two battalions are more than enough.

Unfortunately, these air defense missiles have no ability to intercept ballistic missiles! The anti-aircraft missile, a product of the 1960s, is only used to intercept aircraft.

The United States' latest Patriot missile, which is said to have excellent ballistic missile interception capabilities, has not yet been equipped to the troops. Historically, this model was not equipped to the troops until 1982!

As for the improved version, the missile capable of intercepting ballistic missiles is improved based on the Patriot missile. The missile needs the help of the Patriot missile's phased array radar.

In short, the US military currently has no anti-ballistic missile capabilities!

Eighty of these ballistic missiles were aimed at the Prince Sultan Air Force Base, and fifty of them landed on the base. These missiles completely destroyed the air force base, and even most of the fighter planes in the hangar were destroyed! In particular, the explosion of the oil depot set many adjacent hangars on fire.

More than 20 missiles attacked various military targets in Riyadh, including barracks, power stations, etc. When a Scud missile hit the power station, the entire Riyadh was cut off from power!

Little William climbed up from under the table, his face pale. He was very grateful that he had escaped. However, his adjutant was not so lucky. Powell was hit by the collapsed wall and only one leg was exposed. It was obvious that he was dead.

Just now, before he discovered that the wall was about to collapse, Powell pushed little William under the table. Little William knew that Powell's self-sacrifice to save others was just a kind of atonement for his own wrong command.

Powell made the judgment yesterday. That wrong decision led to the huge losses today. Someone must take the blame, and Powell should take it. Instead of returning to his country to stand trial by a military court, it is better to die here. At least he can return as a martyr!

Little William stood up again, his eyes full of murderous intent. This time, the United States suffered huge losses, and the Iraqis must pay them back!

"Order the 101st Airborne Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, and the Saudi Armored Brigade to immediately move into the Dahna Desert to intercept the Iraqi tank forces," said William Jr.

Now, the Iraqis launched a fierce ballistic missile attack, temporarily losing their air force's ability to deploy, and the next step, the Iraqi armored forces will definitely roll in and attack Riyadh directly! Once the Saudi capital Riyadh is taken down by the Iraqis, it will greatly shake the morale of the entire Saudi Arabia, so the invading Iraqi troops must be intercepted!

To intercept ground armored forces, we need aircraft! The 101st Airborne Division will play the most important role! This division was formerly called the 101st Airborne Division. Later, it was equipped with a large number of armed helicopters and had a strong anti-tank capability.

"Commander, our 101st Airborne Assault Division has now lost its ability to be deployed," reminded a pale-faced adjutant.

The 101st Airborne Assault Division was stationed right next to the Prince Sultan Air Force Base. The ballistic missile attack just now also caused heavy losses to the 101st Airborne Assault Division. A large number of armed helicopters equipped with anti-tank missiles and rockets, ready to intercept Iraqi ground forces at any time, were destroyed!

"Report, the early warning aircraft sent intelligence that a large number of Iraqi aircraft took off from Iraqi bases and entered Saudi airspace!"

The offense and defense have changed! The main force of the US Air Force was destroyed on the ground, and the Iraqi Air Force fighters will drive straight in! The communication system was restored at the first time. Although most of the equipment was destroyed, a portable device still contacted the early warning aircraft in the air.

Damn it!

"Command the air force fighters from other bases to take off and intercept!" said William Jr. Saudi Arabia also has a strong air force. Now, it is their turn to take on the responsibility of defending their airspace!
