“That was bright! The rocket
motor,” commented the oriental girl, adjusting her night vision goggles
from the glare of the first missile. She checked her systems. Telemetry data
linked from the missile showed it was on course and rapidly closing on target
at supersonic speed. It would be some flash when it went off, best be ready!
“Let’s get out of here! All
hell will break loose in a minute!” whispered her man, watching more
inaccurate enemy missiles launch from the dark jungle into the starry sky. They
know we are here but not where, he mused.
“Our missile looks good,
almost on target. Get ready. Now!” she confirmed, before everything
changed forever. He clicked his mike in response and concentrated on flying the
jet, turning their radar set on from standby now their enemy was alert.
In a huge white flash, the
touch of God, the single converted missile whooshed down onto the hidden
camouflaged entrance of the secret nuclear facility. Protected by a massive two
foot thick steel blast door, with an outer foot of painted concrete, the base
was proof against most weapons but not nuclear. The missile smashed into the
door, slightly left of centre, piercing the fake rock and a foot of steel
before its velocity was reduced. Sensors and accelerometers sensed this and
detonated the weapon, vaporising the door, the air in the tunnel and rock walls
of the tunnel. A wave of pure plasma whooshed into the base killing, wrecking
and causing a small chain reaction with the single Burmese nuclear reactor and
four small tactical weapons being worked on. Destruction was total with not a
living soul emerging from underneath the crater which had once been two miles
of winding tunnels and underground rooms. Mission kill number one had been
achieved. The blast wave buffeted the stealth warplane with a gentle caress as
they sped away from their destruction.
“Whoa yeah! We did it!
Fuckin’ ace!” whooped the western pilot.
“Yes my love we did, a
definite kill. Nothing will be coming out of there now,” she quietly said,
checking their cameras were getting all this.
“Did we record it okay?
“Yes my dear, you've got to
see it. Quite something, the mushroom cloud is already three miles high and
climbing.”
“I can see it in my mirror and
reflecting over the jungle, it looks like day back there. I can see without my
goggles. I’ve had to adjust them…”
More missiles rose into the
air ahead of them, all missing. Behind them no more missiles were fired, the
launching units were either destroyed or shorted out by the blast and EMP. Time
for target number two.
Patching
more info into their navigation system, they got ready. She re-programmed their
second weapon for its target. It wasn’t been needed before, the first weapon
worked as advertised being shoved down the throat of the Burmese military.
