I worked on the MMIII ECS Replacement program as an engineer years ago and it was a fun program to be involved with. Saw a lot of neat stuff!!

I built the MK-12A Reentry Vehicles for the USAF starting in 1973. It was an interesting time. I'm still proud of my work.

The Minuteman III has had the warhead changed out for the W87 with a yield of 300KT or 475KT..

[frankmccarthy]

Shouldn’t have scrapped the Peacekeeper

For security reasons, they are the defense & resource tools as our good 🖊 writing pens.

The Minutemen series of Incontinental Nuclear missiles are the best in the world.

Do you have any information about Sentinel ICBM project???

[tubewatcher]

Imagine what kind of space exploration we could achieve with all that money. And I saw the Russian Spy Sattelite Sputnik in the background.

HOW MANY OF THE MODERN TYPE OF MINUTEMAN MISSILES DOES THE USA CURRENTLY HAVE IN ITS ARSENAL, IS MY QUESTION? USA ONLY SAYS IT HAS 500 MISSILES.

[Asymmetrical-Saggin]

'Only 170kt'
Lol do you even realize how destructive that actually is? 'only' 15kt and 20kt yields were the WW2 bombs. Those leveled a square mile each and caused 200k casualties between them.
Yeah, i don't want to see what 'only' 170kt does, let alone megatons lol

Wow, I didn't realize we are relying on 50+ year old technology.

[JAMESPINHORN-mc]

why are we using missiles from the 60s and 70s?

[ironman]

The original missile was meant to be carried and launched from a train

[AndrewLambert-wiet]

INDIA FOUND OUT THAT OLD SOLID PROPELLANT TECHNOLOGY HAD PROBLEMS, WHICH MADE THEM DEVELOP A BETTER FUEL.

[Psychotol]

Imagine Boeing bidding today, secdef be like "LOL fuck off m8."

[vincentmontano]

Am I the only person who sees blue ufo headed towards missile in the beginning of launch😮 🛸

[bestamerica]

'
where is a MX.
why this video did not show the MX missile...
american missile must have a bigger powerful nuclear / TNT...
all missiles musts has 3 or 4 fins on the bottom near jetmotors

[VioletSilence]

Wow, interesting! Still severely outclassed by Soviet/Russian ICBMs but, in all honesty, it's irrelevant since Minuteman III can still destroy a large city or military base in one hit.

This is from 70 years ago, it is not known what advanced equipment the us army has in 2023 i think they are classified
