Do you know the amount of shipping in the English Channel, North Sea and Irish Sea, Canaveral is a launch sute and "the range" has to be cleared, plus the missiles are provided by Lockheed Martin.
Doesn't say much for Lockheed Martin that the missiles are shit.
I do actually - was stationed there for 2 years. Good point on Canaveral - I was also thinking a small part could be everyone expects the US to launch stuff all the time so it won't freak our enemies out.
If We fire stuff over/into the Atlantic They could as well, from the other side. I mean they were in a sub. But yeah - I understand we have the missiles here.
However the missile wasn't exactly the problem. It was whatever test equipment some genius strapped to the rocket/missile on the outside.
The report further notes former defence committee chairman Tobias Elwood MP said the crash was directly caused by testing equipment “strapped on to the missile itself”. Had the equipment not been present, the missile would have launched properly, he said.
Now - tell me this shouldn't be a Monty Python skit...
You need a test range where you can monitor the flight along the whole length of its trajectory. The Canaveral test range runs from Florida, to the north of the Antilles, and all the way into the bight of Africa. Lots of tracking instrumentation. (And, just to be clear, these test shots are not armed with warheads.)
No fault of the missile. In other contexts, this would be called a "no-test." Tricky business, testing, when the special test equipment interferes with test performance. An old problem.
Metaphor…”Joe can’t get it up”! 😜
🤣🤣🤣 lol.... that's funny.... basically the cabal is truly impotent.
Sabotage?
Another whoosh-splash!
😅😅😅
Lol... what's this all about? Is it just to show how lame the west is? Can't even get a warhead in the air???
In the missle tube section, an expired solid fuel missile is safe around gunfire... H/T to The Hunt for Red October... 😎
Never mind all the rest - why were the Brits launching (well - trying to anyway) a Trident off the coast of Florida?
The UK is freaking SURROUNDED by water!
