Minuteman III Spectacular Night Launch Vandenberg - Airailimages

Here's how U.S. Space Force described a spectacular night Minuteman III missile launch from Vandenberg: "A joint team of Air Force Global Strike Command Airmen supported by Space Force Guardians launched an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with one re-entry vehicle June 4 at 12:56 a.m. Pacific Time from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This test launch is part of routine and periodic activities intended to demonstrate that the United States’ nuclear deterrent is safe, secure, reliable and effective to deter 21st century threats and reassure our allies. Such tests have occurred over 300 times before, and this test is not the result of current world events. (U.S. Space Force video by Senior Airman Kadielle Shaw)"

Beautiful sight. I witnessed a launch at Cape Kennedy way back in time. Can't remember what the name of it was, but it was a sight to see and FEEL. Thanks.

Is it true Minuteman III now only carries one warhead? Kind of pointless.
