i was on the strategic command webpage and reading about ballistic missales and i'm sure some of you have heard of the peacekeeper but an oxymoron the name is though

they are all being destroyed, stupid F*ing start treaty

Yes, why the MX and not the old Minuteman ????

The Peacekeeper lived up to its name by maintaining peace for the USA at the WORLD level. It's going away since the Russians didn't like its capability to carry 10 mirvs compared to the 3 mirvs on the Minuteman III.

The Minuteman III is undergoing a huge upgrade to extend its life before the Minuteman IV comes on line in the future.

As for the ABM system, I believe the USAF should run it not the Army. It doesn't make sense that the Army is using USAF facilities and old ICBMs for the ABM project. Also, the warning systems for incoming ICBMs are controlled by the USAF. It's just a political move to keep the Army up there in importance with the USAF.

Sure MT69.

But the Russians had ( or still have ? ) their SS-18 Satan.
The MW had 10 MIRV's ( 335 Kt per warheads ), and the SS-18 had 10 MIRV's ( 500 Kt pey warheads ). And they had more Satan than the US had Peacekeeper.

Anyway, what about the MARV's ?

MIRVS = Multiple Integrated Re-entry Vehicles.

Yes, I know. I was not speaking about the MIRV's, but the MARV's ( Multiple Attacking Re-Entry Vehicles ).

And the " I " doesn't mean Integrated, but " Independent ".
