U.S. tests Minuteman III nuclear ICBMs amid heightened geopolitical tensions

June 17, 2024 -

The launches, which occurred at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, involved Minuteman III missiles armed with dummy re-entry vehicles instead of live nuclear warheads.

Amid heightened geopolitical tensions, the Department of Defense emphasized that these tests were not in response to any specific world events. Rather, they were part of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety, reliability and effectiveness of the United States' nuclear deterrents, with over 300 similar ...

North Korea readying nuclear-capable ICBMs for launch, analyst warns

August 12, 2017 -

This disturbing news comes from an analysis conducted last month by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which follows an earlier intelligence assessment showing that North Korea now has as many as 60 nuclear weapons in its arsenal. Independent experts believe the number to be much smaller than this, but with all the recent missile launches showing off the nation's assortment of weapons apparatus, official sources are claiming the number to be on the higher end.

Russian, Chinese nuclear arsenals have been upgraded in race to dominance over outdated U.S. ICBMs

February 14, 2023 -

It was one thing when Russia invaded its neighbor, the corrupt country of Ukraine, almost a year ago, but for some reason known only to our power-mad elites, American taxpayers are supporting Kyiv with showers of money, American military hardware, and weapon systems that we cannot easily replace.

Now, just days ago, a weak, frail Joe Biden finally ordered the U.S. military to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon after it traversed the country but not before it gathered ...

Russia’s Cold War “iron cloud” defense system could resurface amid modern missile threats

October 20, 2025 -

As global tensions escalate and nuclear-capable ballistic missiles become faster, more precise and harder to intercept, Russia may be revisiting a once-abandoned Soviet-era defense system designed to protect its most critical nuclear assets: the Mozyr Active Protection Complex (KAZ).

Originally developed in the 1970s and tested in the late 1980s, the Mozyr system was engineered to shield intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) silos from incoming ...

China REJECTS U.S.-Russia nuclear disarmament talks, escalating global tensions

September 01, 2025 -

China has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to join nuclear disarmament talks with the United States and Russia, dismissing the idea as "neither reasonable nor realistic." The rebuke comes amid heightened global tensions, with Russia's war in Ukraine raising fears of nuclear escalation and China rapidly expanding its own arsenal.

On Wednesday, Aug. 27, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun stated that Beijing would ...

Russia confirms test launch of new, nuclear-capable ICBM

April 17, 2024 -

As reported by the Russian military, its Strategic Missile Forces "successfully launched" an ICBM from a mobile ground-based missile system from Kapustin Yar. The test was reportedly successful and demonstrated "the high reliability of domestic missiles, ensuring the strategic security of the country."

The Kremlin has refused to confirm what type of missile it test-fired, although it is almost certain that it was a nuclear-capable missile, and that the test was part of ...

NUCLEAR WAR: Radioactive fallout from attacks on U.S. ICBM silos could kill 300 million Americans

November 22, 2023 -

If the U.S. ends up getting attacked with nuclear weapons, its enemies would most likely focus all or most of their fire on the nation's intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch facilities or silos to prevent a successful counterattack.

The U.S. would try to retaliate against its enemies using these silos, placed strategically out of many of the country's major population centers in states like Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and Wyoming. For America's ...

Putin and Musk may be right: Industry experts say it is theoretically impossible to make sure AI won’t harm humans

December 04, 2017 -

And why? Because many fear that the technology will someday turn on humans and wipe all of us out.

One of the most vocal in promoting this theory has been entrepreneur and Tesla founder Elon Musk who, with scientist Stephen Hawking, wrote an open letter to the tech industry in 2015 warning that AI would not only put tens of millions of people out of work, but likely will make self-learning robots far more intelligent than humans in the long run. And when that happens, ...

NATO pushing for Kaliningrad CATASTROPHE by provoking Russia into global nuclear war

June 21, 2022 -

To understand the full dynamic of what's happening, you need to first learn about the geography of Kaliningrad. This Russian territory sits on the Baltic Sea, providing Russia its only year-round ocean access that isn't frozen over for part of the year. Kaliningrad is land-locked, however, and not physically connected to the Russian mainland. A railway runs through Lithuania, connecting Kaliningrad to Russia proper. This railway passage has been in place for decades and has always ...

North Korea claims breakthrough: Hydrogen bomb warheads and EMP weapons… it’s time for Trump to deal with Kim Jong-Un

September 03, 2017 -

A magnitude-6.3 earthquake -- caused by an underground testing detonation in North Korea -- was detected and documented by the U.S. Geological Survey, confirming that North Korea has achieved a nuclear weapon with ten times the power of its previous test which produced a magnitude-5.3 earthquake (the Richter scale is logarithmic, not linear).

According to the WSJ:

The latest nuclear test was estimated to have a yield of as high as 100 kilotons—about 10 times ...

Why preppers should expect a war between the U.S. and North Korea in the near future, and why you can’t waste any time getting ready

July 06, 2017 -

If you’ve been paying any attention to the rising tensions between the United States and North Korea, you know what’s driving them: Pyongyang’s continued desire to develop nuclear weapons as well as the means to deliver them to every corner of the world. You also know that President Donald J. Trump has vowed that he will never let the North develop nuclear-capable ICBMs that can threaten the destruction of American cities, and that includes leaving on the table the option ...

Russia can produce 300 long-range missiles per year, Kyiv intel estimates

December 12, 2024 -

In a stark reminder that the post-Cold War era is truly over, Russia is ramping up the production of its Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missiles, setting off alarm bells across the globe.

With the capacity to produce up to 25 Oreshniks monthly, which is equivalent to 300 missiles per year, Moscow is solidifying its military might and hinting at a far broader regional deployment strategy. Most alarmingly, Russian President Vladimir Putin ...

Former US military officer claims UFOs shut down nuclear missiles

June 25, 2021 -

The claim came from former U.S. Air Force Capt. Robert Salas, who served as a nuclear launch officer at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana at the time. Salas said 10 of the LGM-30 Minuteman nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) he was overseeing suddenly moved into the "no-go" setting without warning. This meant that the ICBMs could not be launched even if the order to do so was given.

It took base staffers a day to bring the missile back ...

Report: 300M Americans could die from radiation should adversaries attack United States’ missile silos

November 19, 2023 -

The paper, which modeled the possible effects of such a catastrophic incident and was published in Scientific American on Wednesday, estimated that in the first four days after the country's 450 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch facilities (silos) were struck, between 340,000 and 4.6 million people would die – though the average death toll would be 1.4 million. They predicted that 300 million would be at risk of a fatal dose of fallout. It also indicated that ...

Peter Pry explains why the US nuclear triad and nuclear deterrence are important – Brighteon.TV

October 04, 2021 -

In the show, Pry warns that the nuclear triad, a key component of the country's security, is under threat from the Biden administration and anti-nuclear activists who are part of it.

Pry defines the three legs of the nuclear triad. First, there are intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) such as the land-based Minuteman III missiles numbering more than 400. Second, there are the nuclear bombers – the B-29, B-36, B-52 and the B2 bombers – with the U.S. Air ...
