US Tests Its New Nuclear ICBM | China Shocked.
There was a time when the United States lacked adequate nuclear protection. However, we didn't acknowledge this. Even the old Minuteman III missiles were useful. Yet they are entrusted with the last mission.
The Minuteman III missile plays both roles simultaneously on the global nuclear chessboard - the defenseless King and the all-powerful and invulnerable Queen. How does this work? You'll see.
This missile could be said to be the Pentagon's extended arm. Its trajectory is close to the optimal one. After launching vertically and reaching an altitude of 700 miles, where there is almost no air resistance due to the low density of the atmosphere, the exciting part begins—the warhead separation.
A unique feature of the Minuteman III enables it to carry up to three custom-targeted warheads with yields between 300 and 350 kilograms, each with its own maneuverable engine.
A ballistic missile is already a difficult target for missile defense because the warhead falls at an angle of almost 90 degrees. Controlled warheads make it even more challenging to defeat them. However, even if the anti-missile hits the falling warhead at crazy speed, the explosion will still have consequences. With the high power of the blast, even a target as large as a city of a million people can be destroyed.
