The ballistic missile flew about 6,760 km to the test site at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

The US Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) launched a Minuteman III ICBM from US Space Force Base Vandenberg in California. This was stated in a press release from the US Department.

“This test launch is part of an ongoing effort to demonstrate that the United States’ nuclear deterrent is safe, reliable, and effective in deterring 21st century threats and is a reassurance to our allies. .Such tests have been conducted more than 300 times before, and this test is not a result of current world events,” the AFGSC said.

It was noted that the launch of Minuteman III was carried out on Friday, February 10, at 09:01 Kyiv time.

Moreover, the ballistic missile flew approximately 6,760 km to the test site at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

There are no warheads on the missile itself.

As you know, the Minuteman III test, known as the Glory Trip, is usually conducted several times a year to check the reliability of an ICBM. The previous launch of the Minuteman III took place in August last year.

Recall that earlier in the United States conducted the first working test of the All-Up-Round AGM-183A missile, which is considered an air-launched rapid response tool.
