The U.S. launches a test missile off of California to show it can ‘defend against attacks’
LA TimesThe test will be the second missile launched from the base in a week’s time. An unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base early Wednesday to test the weapon’s reliability to “defend against attacks on the United States and its allies,” the Air Force said. The Minuteman III missile was fired at 2:10 a.m. from the base northwest of Santa Barbara, according to the Air Force Global Strike Command. The unarmed Minuteman III missile was launched just after midnight on May 3 from the base to test the weapon’s reliability and ensure an “effective nuclear deterrent,” according to the Air Force. On May 30, the Missile Defense Agency conducted a flight test exercise of a ground-based interceptor that was also launched from the air base.
