The dust storm causes significant interference to radar and other detection equipment, while the missiles and the Single Soldier Starship fly at very high speed. So whether it is Ji Rongxinyue descending from the sky or a missile suspected of carrying a nuclear warhead falling from the heavens, Aida Kang is too late to react.
Just like when it fired tactical air-launched nuclear missiles at the Xinghe Squad earlier, the squad had no time to react either.
But there is a big difference between the two.
When it fired the nuclear missiles, it was two to three hundred meters away from the Xinghe Squad. Within the dust storm, it was difficult for both sides to see each other with the mecha cameras. This distance is insignificant for the destructive power of nuclear weapons, but considering the defensive power of mechas forged from tungsten steel, it could be counted as a safe distance to fire a nuclear weapon.
