US Launchnig ICBM from CA This AM

>>135861343

Didn't all this shit already happen?

Did my timeline end?

>>135861417
Scheduled to be test-fired any hour now, if it has not been launched already. Above sauce was the freshest I could find

>>135861478

I swear it was tested weeks ago.

Last 2 nork tests were ICBM too

>>135861343
kek its gonna land on NK instead of the pacific

Unscheduled "saber rattling" - not necessary.

>>135861343

>>135863142
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, You were really desperate to try and swing that werent you. OH my the US answers China's Saber rattling with some " Oh yea bitch, you want some, come get it " as if China is saber rattling this day, every day in the south china see. Go collect your 1/4 of penny for that post you fucking retarded chink.

>>135861343
Aren't most of these old as shit, with a very high failure rate?

>>135861533
Those were thadds and others. Weve been testing many. This is another.

>>135861343
this should be good. china sent one across the united states. can america have it land in the mediterranean? will n korea fire a new one and have it land in the atlantic ?

A good point. I was "reading up" on the Minuteman III. What sounded probable is a test of an old system on a new trajectory (e.g. over the arctic); OR, maybe just keeping what are probably embarrassingly shambolic, old silos "well-oiled," not to mention their crews, which might also be "rusty". However, I am a civy-fag and can only guess.

>>135866245
Sure if you go with 1st Gen Tech that was developed in the 70's and 80's. Are you old as fuck or just ignorant???

>>135866245
If (when) we launch at the Norks, it'll be from a submarine in the Sea of Japan.

Nice digits. But I think Nord-anon has a point. I have heard about retired air force officers voicing concerns about our decrepit trident. Likely, the most modern and reliable bulk of the force lies in our Ohio-class subs; not sure what our current doctrine on use of strategic bombers is. But has IRBM/ICBM doctrine changed since the Cold War? If yes, how?

>>135866473
The last part of your statement is 100% correct. Your a civie with 0% knowledge of the subject. So stop speculating like your a journalist from CNN.

>>135866697
merely curious. can't help that, man.

>>135866208
well i didnt hear anything more on the brits and their fancy new carrier that was suppose to do some saber rattling in the south china sea

america notified us of the chinks "buzzing" the american spy plane

>>135861343
US should launch an empty ICBM at the Norks with a note inside that says "Your move."

Ofc it has, this is a question I'm not sure your cleared for so sorry m8. If you want those answers join the military and be an oustanding fucking soldier, then seek xfer to a place that has the answers your looking for.

>>135867135
This is sound advice and I appreciate it.

Why is it ok for the us to test missiles, but not for Best Korea?

>>135866909
How about we start with the whole China building military installations in territory that is not chinese. Last time I checked that shit was called an invasion. If anything the chinks are lucky we haven't responded with force yet on top of the bullshit with one of their closest allies , NKorea

>>135861343
We usually launch them to the pacific with a dummy "vehicle" designed to land on one of the islands we control to test their accuracy. This happens semi regularly it's just getting attention now because the media wants to scare up the old cold war fears again.

ICBMs have not been completely tested in decades. Obviously they need to completely re-certify them before they nuke the shit out of NK.

>>135868521
I take your advice very seriously, and apologize for anything idiotic I might have said on this bullshit board. If you served, thank you. Doubt I will make anything spectacular of myself, but plan to join the USMC at the end of this Fall/nearest recruitment cycle to Dec.

What does ballistic mean in military terms?
>ballistic missile
Aren't missiles by definition ballistic?

OK. this was my guess. I hate to mention his sorry ass here, but I'm sure /pol/ recalls (((John Oliver's))) smear-job regarding our nuclear trident. He DOES bring up some alarming points regarding general US nuclear command's preparedness--ignoring his slander of our officers, and fact it was meant for civie-consumption. Interestingly, "conspiracy theorist"/whistelblower/fmr. World Bank lawyer, Karen Hudes, suggests Obama sacked our nuclear command b/c they refused to participate in a domestic false flag--I believe a "planned, covert" detonation or "accident" over SC, according to Hudes. Not saying I believe the last, but an interesting thought.

In so-cal. This is interesting because I was just outside a about an hour ago and saw what looking like a rocket exploding in the sky without noise. Was this it? Or wrong location

Missiles are self-guided munitions that travel through the air or outer space to their targets. A ballistic missile travels along a suborbital trajectory. An intercontinental ballistic missile can travel a substantial distance around the Earth to its target.

>>135869009
Anything is a missile. If i throw a fucking wad of paper at you thats a missile. Ballistic missiles are controlled, guided during flight. Another term for an unguided missile is a rocket.

>>135869677
Checked. And are you serious? Any pics? Check your local shit-tier news outlets

>>135869708
Yes and no. Missiles are not self guided. Ballistics pertaining to missiles covers the electronics from launch to guidance. Missiles that arent guided are rockets.

We need to launch them into the Sea of Japan and when people get pissed tell them to be consistent and we will stop when they do. I bet China would turn up the heat.

>>135861681
I imagine our missle defense system is sufficient for their current levels of missile technology but better not to risk it, no one's missle defense system has ever actually had to be tested against a nuclear armed ICBM in real world situations and no one wants to be the first to try. The fact the AEGIS system is getting old and it's easier to build more advanced misses than more advanced missle defense systems is also a factor.

I'm afraid of NKs potential if they aren't dealt with relatively soon but I am not afraid of them at this particular moment in time, in my eyes SK is an very unfortunate but acceptable casualty if NK continues it aggressions. Our tenuous relationship with China, who is surely waiting to see how effective our missle defenses are as well, complicates matter though and is pretty much the only thing preventing us from carpet bombing Pyongyang into the stone age.

>>135870135

I copied and pasted a passage from Google m8. And the impression i got was that the term ballistic in icbm refers to the rockets trajectory. Not the guidance systems. Any other air to surface, surface to air, or air to air missile is a guided rocket. Excluding dummy rockets like you're referring to, which are aimed by firing trajectory, rather than second stage guidence. None of those examples though are considered ballistic missiles because that don't travel at a suborbital trajectory.

The definition of ballistic is:
adjective
1.
relating to projectiles or their flight.
2.
moving under the force of gravity only

The second meaning I think being the more prevalent one to our discussion because that's exactly how ICBM platforms operate. The missile doesn't hit the target like a sidewinder would. Instead MIRVs are released once the rocket has carried itself to a certain point in it's flight path. So that in turn the reentry vehicles are pulled to the final target by gravity alone.

>>135870108
No pics, it happened in a span of 15 seconds or so. The explosion caught my eye, looked up, wtf that's a rocket. Then no trace. Planned to check online when I got home. Instead, forgot about it browsing pol and saw this thread

Not sure if your a shill or europoor, but if you even glanced at Wikipedia you would know that Minuteman missiles have been upgraded several times. The silos may be 60s vintage but the missiles guidance computers are cutting edge
