Air Force tests unarmed ICBM reentry vehicle from Vandenberg
Original: Air Force tests unarmed ICBM reentry vehicle with Minotaur launch
The US Air Force launched a Minuteman III ICBM reentry vehicle test using a Minotaur rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The missile was unarmed and carried no warhead, with the test aimed at validating the reliability and accuracy of the nation's land-based nuclear deterrent systems as routine monitoring continues.
Why now: Routine but closely watched tests of US nuclear delivery systems draw attention amid current global nuclear tensions.
