I think this might be the answer to your question. There were no WMDs. It was a plot to stop Emmeria's progress and destroy Garuda Team.

Consider the state of the war for Estovakia at the time. With the destruction of the Aigion and the lost of Ragno Fortress they were running out of options. They needed to do two things.

1. Stop the progress of the Emmerian army.

2. Destroy the Garuda Team.

To do both the threatened the Emmerian military with WMDs. They knew that the Emmerian military would not continue with that threat though they also knew that they would try to destroy the "WMDs." Which leads to the second part. The destruction of the Garuda Team.

Now think about the mission. Talisman and Shamrock were ordered to destroy the "WMDs" that Estovakia had. Estovakia had planned on using the large amount of fighters to destroy Garuda Team and then push back the Emmerian military. When Garuda Team went in they would escape with the "WMDs" and destroy Garuda Team, creating a great blow to the Emmerian military. What they did not expect was that Garuda Team would catch them by surprise and destroy the trucks. Thier plan a failure they thought they could at least destroy the Garuda Team and with that they sent out the fighters. Though without the threat of WMDs Emmeria sent out their forces and defeated the enemy fighters. (I could add more to this if you want but this is getting pretty long...)
