During ww3 the 10 reenter war heads are released all at the same time and several MXs are fired likewise at the same time, my 4 second vision produced a hell of a fire show, I could only imagine 20 million Russians vaporising in seconds. Not the future i want, what about u?
@jmorello123 i dont want this. it's scary what humans have made. it's like we need to get rid of war all together because nukes were made to eliminate sacrificing tons of soldiers, but then again the damage done from a nuke is so significant. Fuck nukes, fuck war. I'm starting to understand now. Seriously we just need to get along. we're in this as humanity not as different nations.
The MX had alot of issues in development. The legacy it has left for us are the W87/W88 warheads, which are superior to their 60s era predecessors. What we should do is scrap the Minuteman III system in its entirety and consolidate onto a single Trident D-5 delivery system. At sea on the Ohio Class, and on land either in mobile rail, or silo based fixed deployment.
@jrdmedford The missile itself didn't have many issues at all. The problem was with the basing mode. I think we should have just built some new, super hard silos for it. 6,000-10,000psi silos. That was withing the state of the art at the time. Russia had a few 6,000psi silos for a few SS-18s and SS-19s. The point isn't to build an impervious defense, that would be impossible. The point is to build a tough defense that forces your opponent to spend more resrouces to defeat it.
They actually were deployed. 50 Peacekeepers were emplaced at the 90th at Francis E. Warren. They were on alert through the 90's and up through 2005 when the last one was pulled. Getting them installed in existing Minuteman launcher tubes required extensive post-design modifications ; but it worked.
The Peacekeeper had similar capabilities as the Soviet SS-24 (Molodets, sometimes called Scalpel) which was also in service through the late 90's and part of the 2000s.
This missiles was just one of the many really capable weapons that should have been deployed. Since START II was never ratified and the Russians didn't care for it anyway, since they developed the Topol M, America should have continued with this missile deployment on its envisioned rail road garrison platform. My opinion is that a wheels platform should have been developed for this missile as well. The Midgetman was not powerful enough.

Is this part of a documentary or larger file? I'd love to see more footage on this.

@mjrozin There is an hour long documentary on the missile and it's various proposed basing modes.
Search for MX Missile The Nuclear Age. For some reason, YouTube isn't liking links today.
