Air Force Space Command airmen launched an unarmed Minuteman III ICBM from Vandenberg AFB, Calif., yesterday, to test its operational effectiveness. Its three unarmed re-entry vehicle impacted targets on the Kwajalein Missile Range in the Pacific after traveling 4,800 miles. The ICBM came from the 90th Space Wing, F.E. Warren AFB, Wyo.
For the Air Force and Space Force, an influx of additional resources could be an opportunity to accelerate a massive modernization portfolio and ramp up aircraft and satellite production, defense analysts and former officials told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
