Former President Donald Trump is maintaining his lead in the US presidential elections, in a way his victory is considered certain. Shortly before the announcement of their victory, US defense forces reportedly test-fired a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a move that shows ongoing strategic defense preparedness in the US. This test is important in many ways and is also a hidden message for other countries.
big message for the world
Launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, the ballistic missile traveled more than 4,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean in the direction of Kwajalein Atoll in the northern Pacific. With a speed of 15,000 mph, Minuteman III shows that the US military can hit a target anywhere in the world in 30 minutes. However, defense officials have clarified that the test was planned years ago as part of a routine exercise, intended to demonstrate “the readiness of nuclear US forces”.
America's tight security system
The launch underlines the US commitment to maintaining a state of readiness for its strategic arsenal amid evolving global security scenarios. “This test launch marks the beginning of a remarkable week for our Airmen at Vandenberg, with two test launches scheduled from the Western Range,” Col. Brian Titus, Space Launch Delta 30 vice commander, told The Metro.
“These tests not only hold great significance for our nation's defense, but also serve as a significant moment in demonstrating the extraordinary capabilities and expertise of our dedicated team,” Brian said. Let us tell you that Donald Trump has given many messages to the world in his speech before his victory.
