lurking in wikipedia>The Minuteman III was first manufactured in 1969 and is the one still in service today.Russia is always improving its ICBMs and China too
>>199023466probably advances in other delivery systems like aircraft and submarines, we still fix up those types of missiles all the time too
>>199023466Because, contrary to popular belief, ballistic missiles are not exactly rocket science.
>>199023466Ever heard about a little shop called SpaceX? >inb4 but it's *space* rockets
>>199023466those are just the land-based ICBMs the submarine-launched ones are more modern
>>199023660yes but... hat's n0t for military use
>>199023667>the submarine-launched ones are more modernyes but it's still old , 70s tech
>>199023853Tin can factories are also not for military use
>>199023466when you make stuff that actually works there is no need to improve them all the time. they used 8" floppy disk on their launch computers up to 2019 because, it just worked.i fear its a lost art today to make dead simple, purpose specific and unbloated code that just works, everything is based on an existing programming language and chipset and becomes a compromise with too much that can go wrong.
>>199023466>russiastopped reading there
>>199024050t.ukie detected
>>199024025There will always be talented autists with the same concerns as you don’t worry
>>199023853USA and USSR invested so much into the space race because it also developed ICBMs
>speed: Mach 23what’s there to improve?
>>199023466>Russia is always improvinglollmao in fact
If it works it works
>>199023466>Russia is always improving its ICBMs and China tooIs Russia still capable of launching ICBM in 2024? >China https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/24/china/china-rocket-debris-falls-over-village-intl-hnk/index.htmlLMAO France and the USA are the only country that are 100% capable of launching ballistic missiles. https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2023/11/france-successfully-test-fires-new-m51-3-slbm/
>>199023466US probably constantly impoved accuracy, until the combination of small CEP and air detonation made it irrelevant to try to make them more accurate
>>199023466China and Russia prepare for wars of survival. The US prepare for wars of convenience.
>>199023466if it ain't broke...
>>199023466I don’t get the ballistic hypeIt seems any sand nigger militia can make them nowadays
I'm not going to be the one who looks like a fucking idiot when everything collapsesSo I don't even care
>>199023466It's a remnant from the Soviet era. They could never match the armed forces, so they invested in missile tech.
