The United States test-fired an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on 3rd March at 11:01 PM Pacific Time. The missile, dubbed the Doomsday Missile, travelled over 13,000 kilometres across the Pacific Ocean to reach its target zone at an atoll in the Marshall Islands. The test came amid escalating tensions in West Asia involving the United States, Israel and Iran. The missile is capable of travelling at speeds of nearly 24,000 kilometres per hour and can carry multiple nuclear payloads. According to the US Air Force Global Strike Command, the launch had been scheduled years in advance and is not linked to any current global tension. The test was designed to validate reliability, accuracy and readiness of America’s land-based nuclear deterrent. Modern warheads carried by the Minuteman III can be up to 20 times more powerful than the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945.
