The hypersonic missile, loaded with 1.5 tonnes of cubic nitrogen explosive, packed 1.5 times the power of CL-20 explosive.
When it detonated on impact with the ground, its fireball measured 60 meters across and 90 meters high-30 stories-with a core temperature of 3,000-4,000°C.
It had a blast radius of 150 meters and a structural destruction radius of 200 meters, while its circular error probable could reach two meters with multimode guidance.
The guidance system had been specially upgraded for this superhuman biological creature with extraordinary maneuverability.
It integrated composite guidance including laser guidance, BeiDou Satellite Guidance, infrared guidance, Quantum Navigation, and Terminal Radar.
Practically every available guidance technology had been used, all to guarantee a one hundred percent hit rate!
Even if the target spotted the missile's exhaust plume and immediately took evasive action, with so many systems locking on and the sheer speed of hypersonic flight, the circular error probable could still be kept within ten meters.
With that circular error probable, the 60-meter lethal diameter provided ample coverage.
Put plainly, it could not miss!
Long Zhan turned around and picked up his communicator.
"Missile unit, on my command!"
"Lock onto the latest high-threat target."
"One hypersonic missile loaded with cubic nitrogen explosive."
"DF-17 Modified. Send it on its way."
"Roger!"
The order went out.
At the very rear of the position, a launch tube covered in camouflage netting slowly rose on a massive missile launcher vehicle, forming a ninety-degree angle with the ground.
"Target data loaded!"
"Launch sequence initiated!"
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
"Ignition!"
Boom-!!!
A tremendous noise rang out, far deeper and more earthshaking than a shell leaving a gun barrel.
Searing flames suddenly blasted from the bottom of the launch tube, and the heavy vehicle shuddered violently.
A pitch-black missile trailing a long plume of
