US military ICBM launch test announced
アメリカ軍はICBM＝大陸間弾道ミサイル「ミニットマン3」の発射実験を行ったと発表しました
The US military announced that it conducted a test launch of the ICBM = Intercontinental Ballistic Missile ”Minuteman 3”
”Minuteman 3” is an ICBM that can carry a nuclear warhead, and is the core weapon of the United States’ nuclear force.
The launch test was conducted from the Vandenberg base in California on the morning of the 16th, flew about 6,800 kilometers, and the warhead landed in the Marshall Islands.
It seems that the launch test was postponed in order to avoid escalating tensions as China embarked on large-scale military exercises following House Speaker Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
The U.S. military said, ”This is a routine experiment conducted to deter 21st century threats and reassure our allies, and is not due to the current world situation.”
