It must be said that Wakanda had some expertise in researching energy weapons.
But unlike the previous interception of Nuclear Missiles launched by Old Bear by Mi Federation,
Wakanda's energy attacks directly turned all the hit Nuclear Missiles into 'duds'.
This was mainly because modern Nuclear Missiles were not the same as ordinary missiles. With ordinary missiles, if you hit their propulsion unit, the warhead would detonate along with it.
But Nuclear Missiles were different! Modern Nuclear Missiles, to call them missiles, it was better to call them an extremely precise, high-tech nuclear-powered electronic integrated device with ultra-long-range propulsion.
A nuclear explosion would also undergo a series of precise controls before initiating a fission or fusion reaction to trigger the nuclear explosion.
Regarding Nuclear Missiles, if you destroyed the missile propulsion unit that drove it forward, you might not necessarily destroy it. After all, nuclear warheads also had protection—something even a pseudo-military enthusiast knew, so would designers not think of it? You must destroy the nuclear explosion electronic equipment in its warhead to prevent its detonation program from running normally.
That way, even if nuclear material leaked, that... bit of radiation, compared to the consequences of a nuclear explosion, was completely bearable!
As far as Michael understood, any Nuclear Missile whose warhead had not been damaged after its set program was activated, regardless of whether its missile propulsion unit was destroyed or its trajectory was altered, when the time came, the warhead's set program would automatically ignite a series of processes to achieve fission or fusion reactions.
Then, at this moment, it would be... when mushroom clouds rose one after another.
As for why the Nuclear Missiles intercepted by Mi Federation still detonated at high altitude, had you forgotten Apocalypse's mutant ability to directly detonate Nuclear Missiles before they were intercepted!
Apocalypse: The Nuclear Missiles I launched are not duds!
Clearly, Wakanda understood the operating principles of Nuclear Missiles.
Any Nuclear Missile hit by Wakanda's energy attacks instantly became a 'dud'!
Of course, even if it became a 'dud', its huge structure, when free-falling and plummeting towards Wakanda, would still cause a massive kinetic attack!
What's more, out of nearly a hundred Nuclear Missiles, Wakanda's energy attacks only destroyed almost half of them. The remaining dozens of Nuclear Missiles could still destroy Wakanda, turning it into a forbidden zone where no living creature could survive!
Therefore, immediately following the energy attacks, dozens of Wakandan fighter jets swiftly flew out from that 'primeval forest' area.
These fighter jets directly accelerated to their maximum, creating bursts of sonic boom clouds. This could not deter them from directly colliding with those... terminal-flight Nuclear Missiles that were getting closer and closer to Wakanda...
"Suicide attack."
"Although cruel to the pilots, it's a very effective method of attack."
Seeing this scene, Michael naturally understood what those... Wakandan fighter jets intended to do.
Not only Michael, but all factions capable of 'watching the battle' understood the purpose of these dozens of fighter jets' actions.
Under the dual action of missile propulsion and gravity, terminal-flight Nuclear Missiles were very difficult to control because their speed was too fast!
But similarly, the trajectory of a Nuclear Missile in terminal flight was also very clear.
This was also why Wakanda's energy attacks could easily hit all targets. It was just... a pity that Wakanda's energy attacks were too few, or rather, Wakanda's energy weapons in this era were not powerful enough, far from the abnormal level of the future... Wakandan high-IQ scientist Princess Shuri's era.
To intercept those... Nuclear Missiles, Wakanda had urgently launched dozens of energy attacks, and its energy weapons were already damaged and scrapped. At least, they couldn't be repaired in a short time.
And those... fighter jets, naturally, followed the terminal flight trajectory of the Nuclear Missiles, directly crashing into them and detonating the Vibranium energy core of the fighter jets to achieve the goal of destroying the Nuclear Missiles.
For Wakanda, these fighter jet pilots, as well as the combatants among them, were their heroes...
"However,"
"Apocalypse can detonate nuclear warheads prematurely."
"Old Bear and Old Bald Eagle can too!"
Michael was not optimistic about Wakanda's 'counterattack plan'.
Although the electromagnetic waves from Old Bear and Old Bald Eagle prematurely detonating Nuclear Missiles would be affected and delayed by the environment and distance.
But Old Bear and Old Bald Eagle didn't just have these... Nuclear Missiles!
Even if Wakanda truly succeeded in intercepting all of them this time.
What about the next wave of nuclear strikes? Without energy weapons, how would Wakanda intercept them? Would they still rely on fighter jets for suicidal crashes? What's more, does Wakanda have any spare fighter jets left? If you don't have more defensive power, how can you talk about counterattacking? If your fighter jets are all consumed in this defense, how will you counterattack?
"The so-called Panther God..."
"It's time for it to come out, isn't it?"
"If it doesn't come out soon, Wakanda might really turn into a forbidden zone for life, a living hell."
Michael watched with some amusement.
