Chapter 902: The Collapsed Palace
It is very difficult to intercept missiles that fall at seven times the sound. Conventional anti-aircraft weapons are simply not capable of intercepting missiles that fall with a vertical trajectory.
As for the Patriot air defense missile, the probability of interception in front of this kind of missile is at most half and half, and it does not have the ability to completely intercept it.
Under the interception of the air defense forces in the Saudi metropolitan area, seven or eight missiles were eventually intercepted.
The remaining missiles have landed in the center of Riyadh.
The Saudi Royal Palace occupies a very large area, and the garden flowers and plants also look very beautiful. Under the lights at night, it shines like a fairyland.
Such a situation has lasted for hundreds of years in the land of Saudi Arabia, but in the next ten seconds, the entire palace will completely become a thing of the past.
The first missile that fell went directly to the top of the palace and penetrated into the interior of the palace. Then, on the first floor, the 500-kilogram warhead detonated directly. The entire main structure of the palace with extremely luxurious interiors exploded. collapse.
A large number of members of the Saudi government and royal family inside were engulfed by the explosion before they had time to respond, and their lives were terminated instantly.
Next, missiles fell one after another, and every place within the palace was covered by missile attacks.
The huge garden was destroyed, all kinds of luxurious facilities, and the palace built by several generations of Saudi royal families turned into a burning ruin in just ten seconds.
There are ruins everywhere, wreckage and fragments of architectural structures everywhere, the gorgeous lights are extinguished, and thousands of people in the palace, following the palace that has stood for a hundred years, have completely become a thing of the past.
The countless precious collections inside, superb calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, countless treasured works of art, and countless treasures of human history were all buried under the explosion together.
Saudi royal family. The world-recognized local tyrant and the countless treasures in the palace became history under a simple missile attack, completely becoming a thing of the past.
In Riyadh, countless eyes looked at the burning palace in the distance, and almost every Saudi thought they were dreaming.
Because of this picture. It is too unimaginable.
The missile attack on Riyadh is not over yet. The Ministry of Defense of Saudi Arabia, which is the Supreme National Defense Council of Saudi Arabia, is busy. Several missiles landed and penetrated the huge National Defense Council from top to bottom.
The entire National Defense Parliament building also directly followed in the footsteps of the royal palace. Inside Riyadh. It's also a mess everywhere.
Countless crowds flooded the streets and ran towards the few air-raid shelters. On the street, the police and troops, who had no time to manage these people, all rushed towards the place of the explosion.
Missiles attack Riyadh. There were violent explosions in many places in Riyadh. In Riyadh, almost all important government agencies in Saudi Arabia were hit by missiles and turned into burning ruins.
Even the central bank of Saudi Arabia. They were all within the target of the attack. Two missiles hit the building of the central bank. The whole building collapsed in the explosion, blocking many surrounding streets.
At this time, the missile attack that spread all over the territory of Saudi Arabia came to an end, and the whole process of the missile attack before and after was only a short three minutes.
In such a three-minute period, the two army armored divisions of Saudi Arabia's ambitions to expand, and weapons and equipment worth tens of billions of dollars were destroyed.
The three large oil fields are all submerged in the fire, which is difficult to extinguish in a short time.
Even if the fire is extinguished, it will take at least several months to restore normal crude oil production.
And repairing so many oil wells and equipment, it may be very difficult to restore the original oil production in less than a year.
The two large ports in Saudi Arabia were also destroyed. In the port, there were almost no complete facilities, burning flames and ships everywhere, and a large amount of crude oil flowed into the seawater of the Persian Gulf.
Even the nearby US military bases were dispatched to help rescue the two ports.
In other cities in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi military industry has also suffered very serious damage, especially many high-tech industries, almost all of which have suffered devastating blows.
The lethality of a missile is enough to destroy a large-scale project, and it is still the kind of comprehensive destruction and destruction.
All air bases in Saudi Arabia were also devastated in this attack. Cluster bombs destroyed a large number of airport facilities and also destroyed a large number of fighter jets parked in the hangar.
However, the most tragic thing is the Saudi capital circle, which represents the Saudi government, finance, and the center of power. Under the burning fire, there is no complete rubble.
The Saudi king's guards rushed over in an emergency, and could only rescue the ruins in front of them as much as possible, to see if they could save a few more people.
However, in fact, everyone is very clear that under such an attack, even if they hide in the basement of the palace, it is difficult to survive.
The lethality of the rapidly falling missiles, even if they couldn't destroy those basements, was enough to kill the people inside.
And no one expected such an attack, even at the last moment, probably not many people had time to hide in the basement.
The most important thing is that the Saudi royal family never believes that they will be attacked. There are defensive facilities inside the palace, but unfortunately, no one uses these facilities at ordinary times. The people inside are more willing to sleep in their own rooms.
Although no one believed that anyone in the ruins of the palace could survive, the kingdom's guards still did not give up any possibility of existence.
A large number of fire engines quickly arrived at the palace, and kept spraying water on the burning ruins.
In the city of Riyadh, there are more panicked crowds. In the embassy districts of various countries, every ambassador to the Saudi embassy was alarmed.
However, these ambassadors also all stayed in their own rooms, looking at Riyadh, which was burning everywhere, in shock. Riyadh now looks so strange.
The flames of war that suddenly ignited suddenly appeared in the territory of Saudi Arabia, which no one expected.
Even if there is a precedent for the Houthi armed forces to launch missiles into Saudi Arabia before, but compared with this attack, the previous missile attack is not even a child's play.
At the same time, King Salman of Saudi Arabia, who was far away in Turkey, was stunned for more than ten seconds after hearing the news, and the face of the attendant who came to report could not hide the frightened expression...
