A Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile test ended in failure when the projectile was ordered to self-destruct due to an “anomaly” that developed during the flight, the US Air Force has confirmed.
The test missile, minus the nuclear warhead, was launched early Tuesday morning from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The self-destruct signal was sent at 0442 Pacific time (1142 GMT).
No details were made available as to what exactly happened to warrant the self-destruct signal.

“An anomaly is any unexpected event during the test,” the Air Force’s Global Strike Command said in a statement. “Since anomalies may arise from many factors relating to the operational platform itself, or the test equipment, careful analysis is needed to identify the cause.”
A “launch analysis group” set up to investigate the failure will include representatives from the Global Strike Command, the 576th Flight Test Squadron, the 30th Space Wing and the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center.
Tuesday’s test was part of a regular readiness check-up on the primary US land-based nuclear missile, which first came into service in 1962. The most recent test was in April, and had been postponed due to tensions with North Korea. This is the first test failure since a July 2011 launch, and the third failure since 1998.

The US has around 400 Minuteman III weapons deployed in silos at three bases in Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. Random missiles are selected for the tests every few months, stripped of their nuclear payload and fitted with testing equipment that enables the Air Force to monitor the test progress and, if needed, issue the self-destruct command.

Minuteman III ICBM launch ends in failure

WASHINGTON (BNS): The US military Wednesday destroyed one of its unarmed operational Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) over the Pacific Ocean after it malfunctioned during a test launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

US Air Force (USAF) controllers detected a flight anomaly and terminated the flight for safety reasons. When terminated, the vehicle was in the broad ocean area, northeast of Roi-Namur, according to a news report by the USAF.

"Established parameters were exceeded, and controllers sent destruct commands," Col. Matthew Carroll, the 30th Space Wing chief of safety, was quoted as saying in the report.

The missile blasted off from the base on time at 3:01 A.M and was supposed to travel about 4200 miles southwest to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, but did not reach its target.

The launch was an operational test to determine the weapon system's reliability and accuracy.

There were no details on what went wrong, and a Vandenberg spokesman said there won't be any further information until Thursday. The Air Force team is currently investigating the cause of the anomaly.

The Minuteman is a strategic weapon system using a ballistic missile of intercontinental range. Missiles are dispersed in hardened silos to protect against attack and connected to an underground launch control center through a system of hardened cables. Launch crews, consisting of two officers, perform around-the-clock alert in the launch control center.

The Minuteman programme is controlled by the Air Force Global Strike Command at Louisiana's Barksdale Air Force Base.

美洲际导弹刚发射就掉入太平洋 俄专家称其不堪一击

2018年08月06日 15:48 新浪军事

据美国《防务新闻》网站7月31日的报道称，美空军下属的洲际导弹部队 在7月30日进行了洲际导弹试射，但遭到了失败。今年美军进行了数次洲际导弹试射，但成功率并不高。6月试射的一枚洲际导弹就遭遇故障，空中解体，但这次美国人再次失败了。

发射中的美军洲际导弹
发射导弹的型号是民兵型。导弹在刚刚起飞3分钟后遭遇技术故障，随即在空中炸成碎片，残骸纷纷落入浩瀚的太平洋中。目前事故具体原因尚待调查和分析，不过据《防务新闻》网站的说法，美空军高层对此感到怒不可遏，下令严厉追究事故责任。

民兵式导弹
我们可以对事件进行一下分析。这枚导弹虽然名义上是“正常试射”，但明眼人都知道，远程或是洲际级别的超级导弹每一次发射都不会无的放矢，其试射是很有深意的。俄罗斯《对话者报》在31日的报道中认为，美国在2018年频繁的洲际导弹测试，其中的重要原因就是对俄示威，威慑俄罗斯。联系到两国两军目前的关系，这种说法是很有根据的。

水下核打击力量必须得到陆基导弹的配合
实际上，目前俄罗斯军队在欧洲和中东地区投入兵力和武器对美国和其盟友进行遏制，毫不妥协。在武器上，俄军也多次试射了洲际导弹和其他新式武器，甚至在阅兵式上炫耀了其最新的匕首式导弹。这一切都让美军感到不舒服，不可能把舞台都留给俄罗斯，自然是需要相关动作回应的。试射导弹对俄示威，也在预料之中。

俄罗斯试验成功的萨尔马特导弹
不过这样示威的前提是能够成功，如果大张旗鼓地把导弹发射了出去，但却最终失败了，落得个炸成碎片掉入大洋的尴尬，那不仅没有任何效果，反而会引得对手嘲笑。《对话者报》刊载了俄罗斯军事评论家K·罗斯洛夫的文章。他嘲笑美国人的导弹部队“不堪一击”。虽然口气很大，但从今年两国导弹武器的研发速度和实验成功率来说，俄罗斯人的确有理由感到骄傲。

俄军匕首式导弹挂上战机
俄罗斯目前的最新式萨尔马特式导弹已经进行了多次成功试射，甚至连之前可靠性十分糟糕的布拉瓦式导弹的试验也开始变得稳定。另一方面，匕首式巡航导弹开始列装，已经新式超音速反舰导弹的测试工作正在开展。俄罗斯在常规武器衰落的时候，集中有限经费和力量重点发展导弹武器，已经取得了丰厚成果，形成了对西方的强大威慑能力。

在和俄导弹部队的较量中，美国人遭遇挫折
而另一方面，堪称美国陆基洲际导弹支柱的民兵系列导弹试射多次失败。更令美国人尴尬的是，民兵3不是什么新武器，而是从上个世纪80年代就开始服役的支柱产品。频繁的失败说明，要么美国人的这批导弹已经开始老化，或者保养出现问题，要么干脆就是原始设计存在纰漏。成熟武器出现如此高的失败率是不应该的。俄国导弹试射的失败也多是出在试验型号上，大规模列装的导弹很少失手。
在需要试射导弹威慑俄国人的当口，出了这么个“笑话”，美军高层的愤怒自然可想而知。比起紧握核大棒的俄国对手，自己手头的利器看上去是有点钝了，这可不是个好兆头。更何况，自己的军费投入比对手还高得多。（作者署名：军事家）

USELESS FUCKING USA ICBMs!

Read now they nearly nuke themselves in several accidents!

1980 nuclear threat triggered by socket wrench

The documentary depicts the moment the dropped wrench pierced the side of a missile.



For about 10 hours in 1980, the United States faced a nuclear threat of its own making after an airman performing maintenance on a Titan II missile dropped a socket wrench 20 metres, ripping a hole in a fuel tank and leading to an explosion that propelled a 9-megaton warhead out of the ground.
Using decades-old US Air Force training footage, re-enactments and drone-shot video from a mothballed silo, director Robert Kenner recalls the tense time that began beneath the northern Arkansas landscape.

The force of the blast cast the warhead out of its eight-story underground bunker.



His documentary, "Command and Control ,'' airs in the USA this week.
"The real story is how close we came to blowing up a quarter of the country,'' Kenner said.
"The warhead going off would have changed history.''

In the heat of the Cold War, the U.S. placed nuclear warheads atop 54 Titan II missiles and spread them evenly among Arizona, Arkansas and Kansas. The U.S. Air Force never confirmed their presence, but it was common knowledge that they dotted the Arkansas hills, said Skip Rutherford, then an aide to Sen. David Pryor.
On the night of the accident, airmen who had previously raised concerns with Pryor about missile safety called Rutherford - interrupting him while he was having dinner with a friend - to say that a volatile mix of rocket fuel and oxidizer was sure to blow.
"We don't know what that means,'' Rutherford said this week.

"We don't know what the missile does - is there a radiation leak, a nuclear explosion? Something is going to happen and it's not going to be good. It's just what degree of bad it is.''
The vapors exploded in the middle of the night, killing one airman and injuring 21 others.
The force of the blast cast the warhead out of the eight-story underground bunker; searchers found it later, in a ditch 200 yards away.
"If the system worked properly, someone dropping a tool couldn't send a nuclear warhead into a field,'' Eric Schlosser, who wrote the book ``Command and Control'' in 2013, says in the documentary.
With the Arkansas rockets, plus those in the other states, the U.S. intended to show the Soviet Union and the rest of the world that the nation was ready for a fight. They were dismantled by 1987, and their silos left open so the Soviets could use satellite imagery to verify their removal.
As they stood, airmen didn't want to push the button to launch a missile but knew the day might come when they had to, said Allan Childers, a member of a missile combat crew.
"You had to be prepared to destroy an entire civilization,'' he says in the film.
"As heartless as it sounds, I never had a problem. I was doing it for my country. ... Deterrence is worthless if you don't demonstrate that you're willing to do it.''
Schlosser and Kenner said that every weapon built for use elsewhere also poses a threat at home, in one way or another.
In Damascus, Arkansas the human error involved an airman using a socket wrench in a missile silo rather than a torque wrench called for in an updated checklist.
``Luck is a bad policy,'' Kenner said, paraphrasing a theme from the documentary, which is on the 15-film short list for Best Documentary at this year's Academy Awards.
"This is a story about human beings making mistakes, but the consequences of making a mistake with this missile and warhead are tremendous.''

Made by USA and tested in USA by UK, same model as US Navy Trident SLBM failed test, hit USA Florida when intended to strike a target in Africa!

[KuanTi01]

Wow! More of the same please!

 

[nkfnkfnkf]

Dotard-land becomes a NUKE EUNUCH or BAPOK when both Minuteman & Trident don't work. They have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE!

Kim Jong Nuke can go ahead and nuke USA as many times as he got Hwasong-15 ICBM. He will be quite safe from Dotard's nuke counter strikes. Dotard's balls will drop when Kim nuke USA, and balls will further drop when his counter strikes failed.

 

[Hypocrite-The]

Yes USA nuclear strike capability is gone..ah tiong land can invade without consequences...don't attack now n when USA wakes up..even worse
