Dominate South Asia

Oh my God, it was the two pilots trapped in the fighter plane, slowly being swallowed by the flames. And the entire base was in chaos, because three other missiles had fallen, and the fire was in the sky, and it was a mess, but the fire department hadn't responded yet! Lanos turned off the communicator, closed his eyes in pain, crossed himself on his chest, and secretly prayed in his heart that the two unfortunate comrades would end this inhuman pain as soon as possible.

As if knowing that their fate was irreversible, the two trapped pilots, like talk show hosts, cursed into the communicator at President Bush, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, White House spokesman and other military and political dignitaries. Continuously, teasing the women of big shots, Questioning that this battlefield is a conspiracy between the politicians in Congress, arms dealers, and oil tycoons, allowing them to kill and be killed for the benefit of the big shots, and for the honor of the country and the gods. They are all lies, let them die to be real!

When someone reacted and forcibly cut off the call, they didn't know that due to the development of the US military's communication network, from the Riyadh base joint command headquarters, E3 early warning aircraft, ground radar stations, to the cockpits of fighter jets that were still performing night flights that day... all the The officers and soldiers wearing earplugs and holding communicators listened to this live broadcast in stunned silence. Their rich language and sharp words made colleagues who were familiar with these two people suddenly realize that these two people are not very conspicuous at ordinary times. It would be a waste of their talents not to change careers and become TV talk show hosts.

Gradually the voices of the two disappeared, but the hearts of all those who heard this broadcast were extremely heavy. The Bible says: "He who wields the sword dies by the sword, and he who wields the sword dies by the sword." They've killed so many Iraqis now, themselves. We must also bear the backlash from the monster of war!

At this time, the chaos at the Dhahran base had not been eliminated. Facing the three missiles that struck again, six Patriots launched into the sky. Moreover, the frequency with which they took off seemed to be inconsistent, some were faster and some were slower, and they faced the last three incoming missiles one after another.

These three missiles. One of them was obviously Hussein, as the warhead and body quickly separated in the air.

However, the quality of the missile interception this time was also unusually high.

The first batch of three missiles hit the separated warhead and body respectively. After the fire caused by the two Patriot missiles, another huge roar spread to the ground, followed closely by a huge fireball, reflected in the night sky.

The warhead was detonated in the air!

The words "Thank God...". Captain Lanos was already regretting it even before he said it out of his mouth.

The huge shock wave caused by the detonated Hussein missile. It spread out and pushed hard on the last two missiles. The latter two missiles quickly changed their impact points and passed by the last three Patriot interceptor missiles.

The place where the two missiles exploded was the pilot dormitory building of the multinational force, and the other was the ammunition depot of the base!

Captain Lanos opened his mouth, unable to make a sound.

He watched helplessly as the two missiles came from the sixth floor of the dormitory building. The window of one room penetrated the interior; one penetrated directly from the roof of the ammunition depot.

The rest of the scene was like slow motion in a movie, something he would never forget.

First, all the glass in the building was shattered and splashed in all directions. Under the light of the explosion above the base, these broken glass were like bright gems, reflecting either brilliant or fiery red colors.

The next moment. The building seemed to come alive and jumped suddenly. The cement exterior wall expands outward instantly, like an inflated balloon. Followed by countless black spots. Shooting out from the disappeared windows, balconies, doors, etc. This is the shock wave caused by the missile explosion. Sputtering room debris.

Immediately behind these black spots were groups of flames rolling forward, expanding outward along the corridors and rooms, rushing out from all the openings in the building, revealing its ferocious appearance.

The explosion of the ammunition depot was more like the coming of the end of the world. All kinds of high-performance, high-quality fighter ammunition released all their energy in an instant, ravaging everything around them like the eruption of the St. Lawrence volcano, and the flames of the explosion ignited. Two kilometers away from almost everything, there were many "burners" walking around, and fire and smoke enveloped the entire base.

………

After nearly five hours of rescue efforts, the fire department extinguished the fire, but the damage statistics afterwards were far more than people expected.

In the pilot's dormitory, only about 20 people who hung out in bars and other places escaped unharmed, while the others all perished. Among them were 80 American and British pilots and 570 other personnel, resulting in a total of 650 deaths.

That's not all. The missile attack on the tarmac and the subsequent explosion of the ammunition depot destroyed two squadrons of fighters, a total of 24, killing 52 pilots and ground crew and injuring 31. Also among the dead were two pilots (talk show hosts) from the two fighter planes that burned down on the runway.

In addition, the splashing debris of the Hussein missile and the Patriot missile caused 30 deaths and more than 200 people suffered varying degrees of injuries, many of whom were in critical condition.

A total of four buildings were damaged, and a warehouse was razed to the ground. The flames caused by burning fuel caused more than a dozen houses to be set alight.

Although the fire was put out by the fire brigade, the direct property and equipment losses caused were worth up to one billion US dollars, and more than 960 people were killed and injured.

The U.S. military command center in Riyadh fell into a dead silence when it received the news.

General Schwarzkopf, commander of the multinational forces, had a sullen face. If the loss of property could be compensated, the "talk show" incident had greatly hit the morale of the U.S. military and its allies. The officers and soldiers were no longer as high-spirited as before about defeating the Iraqis in the future. The general suddenly felt tired, and the goddess of war seemed to no longer favor them!

After the Dhahran massacre, although the U.S. military responded quickly, General Schwarzkopf also gave instructions to immediately implement news control and not allow any reports about this incident to be spread by the media, at least not at present.

However, their decision was made too late.

When the Dhahran base was attacked, there were many reporters from newspapers in the United States, France, Germany and other countries. They sent their photos and emergency reports to their local newspapers by fax on the same day. (To be continued ~^~)
