Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran

 

Chapter 9 Aerial bombing against Natanz nuclear plant (3)

Two laser-guided bombs "Bunker Buster" released by the "Mafia" and hit the target accurately. The “Elite” confirmed the explosion, but he saw only cloud of dust from the ground. The bunker buster was able to penetrate several tens of feet under the ground or several feet into reinforced concrete. But they could not reach to the underground facility.

 

The "Elite" immediately took the second operation. He himself followed the same track of the "Mafia" and launched two missiles at the same altitude and distance. As soon as launching missiles, he turned the nose of F35 upwards and entered into the surge mode. Then the "Elite" turned left and was ready to see the target. When the cloud of dust has went out, a hole like a crater has appeared on the ground.  White smoke rose from the hole. This indicated that fire took place in underground facility.

 

The "Abdullah" reported to the “Elite” that the infrared radar detected heat rays behind the white smoke. Now the final operation was to stab Natanz nuclear plant. The "Elite" ordered the "Abdullah" to attack the target. The "Abdullah" launched the fifth "bunker buster". It drew a white trail and was sucked into the crater. The next moment, a bright red pillar of fire was shown. Human beings popped out one after another from several exits around the crater. It looked like as if the ants were crawling out of their nest. Five bunker busters completely destroyed the Natanz facility.

 

Finally, a bunker buster and an ultimate missile were remained unlaunched inside the fighter of “Abdullah”. The ultimate missile had a destructive power far exceeding that of the bunker buster. It planned to be launched only if the attack by bunker buster failed in destroying the enemy's facilities. There was no doubt that the ultimate missile would completely destroy the facility once it was exploded. It meant the total death of the people working in the facility. It was inevitable that the surrounding area would be also seriously damaged for a long time. The damage would be caused by radioactive contamination. It was a missile equipped with a small nuclear warhead.

 

The compact nuclear missile was developed as a pinpoint bomb by Israel. Nuclear warheads had been stored in deep underground at unknown place in Israel. Once Israel used its nuclear missiles for Natanz airstrike, it would raise an international issue. But Israel government might insist that the radioactive contamination was due to nuclear material in Natanz plant. In addition, Israel might insist that it was the clear evidence that Iran enriched uranium. Israel was always good at eloquence and sophistries.
