[Regnum] The US military will conduct two scheduled test launches of Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles on June 4 and 6, the US Space Command announced on June 1 on its page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

They will be carried out from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The command clarified that the purpose of the tests would be to test the readiness and effectiveness of the American nuclear deterrent forces.

The previous launch of Minuteman III, scheduled for February 2024, was postponed by the military due to repair work at the Reagan test site on the island of Roy-Namur (Pacific Ocean). It is also noted that the United States notified Russia in advance of the upcoming tests.

As Regnum reported, in September 2023, the United States also test-launched the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. Military expert Alexey Leonkov, in an interview with Regnum news agency, said that Washington took such a step after news appeared that the Russian R-28 Sarmat complexes were on combat duty.

On October 20, 2023, it became known that the United States had conducted underground tests at a test site in Nevada. American authorities announced this on the day the Russian State Duma adopted a bill to revoke ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).

On May 14, 2024, the United States conducted a subcritical test at a nuclear test site in Nevada. They were carried out in accordance with a voluntarily declared moratorium on nuclear explosion tests at the Main Underground Laboratory of Subcritical Experiments (PULSE).

If the LSD's think going on a war footing will help Biden stay in office.

I am sure a majority of US CITIZEN'S, no matter what their feeling of Trump are. Think 180 the opposite.

I can see it causing a mass voter swing to Trump, over the Crap for Brains Group, stumbling all over itself trying to run things for Biden.

#2 The dems are rightly counting on young voters short attention spans and automatic willingness to discount the idea they might be drafted.

Any bets, if we go to war, every DOD Transgender starts doing a Klinger seeking a Section 8?

#6 I would assume the rockets in question are approaching their 'sell-by' dates.

#7 ^ That's at least part of the point of testing, to see how well the oldest examples are holding up.
