US destroyed the Minuteman III ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean: What is known

Vandenberg's military base was informed that the intercontinental ballistic missile had to be discharged through an "anomaly". On Wednesday, November 1, the Intercontinental Ballistic Minuteman III was destroyed as part of the test start from the US space forces. This is stated on the official website of the military base. The naked Minuteman III was disabled over the Pacific Ocean with the help of the Space Launch Delta rocket 30. It is reported that the "anomaly" was the cause.

This term is used to refer to any unforeseen event that happened during the test. "Because anomalies can occur for many reasons related to both the platform itself and with testing equipment, careful analysis is required to identify the reason," the publication reads.

It is also reported that a group of launch analysis will be formed to identify the cause of the event, which will include representatives of the Global Air Force Command, 377 of the test and evaluation group, SLD 30 security department, the Nuclear Weapon Center of the Air Force and other departments. The authors of the message also emphasized that the command receives lessons from each test start.

We will remind, on October 25 in the Kremlin stated that from the test cosmouse Plesetsk on the landfill "Kura" on Kamchatka was released intercontinental ballistic missile "Yars". Earlier, on October 11, Russia accused the United States of preparing nuclear weapons.
