Launching nuclear missiles isn’t a “secret” either. And this isn’t any pizza delivery for ALF. It’s a thermonuclear delivery platform. They’re saying these launches have to be secret. But if you don’t warn the Russians or Chinese this “regularly scheduled launch” is only an unarmed test, don’t you stand a chance of triggering doomsday? So is it only a secret kept from citizens? This is psyops. Mutiny Obama.
Why in another thread, it was explained why you do not test launch a Minuteman from a silo in Montana or South Dakota.
Probably the same thing for why you you do not just pop up a few SLBMs from out in the middle of the ocean somewhere, unannounced.
You would think this stuff would be a bit more obvious.
The Kentucky, the ballistic submarine, conducted the two launches as part of a demonstration and shakedown operation, or DASO, process that certifies the readiness of a submarine’s crew and strategic weapons before returning to operational availability.It occurs after a submarine has its mid-life nuclear refueling, which involves replacing the expended nuclear fuel in the submarine’s reactor with new fuel. The Kentucky entered Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Wash., in February 2012 for an overhaul that ended in April.
The Russians are warned about the launches. It goes back to the Ballistic Missile Launch Notification Treaty back in 1988. The telemetry is also shared as part of the NEW START Treaty. A time window is provided along with the areas of launch. This is also covered in NOTAMS and warnings to mariners for the closure areas. The Russian also have a launch notification treaty with China.The Russians will likely launch Bulava SLBMs either tomorrow or over the weekend. The closure areas have been public knowledge for the last week. Looks like launch from the White Sea/Barents see through to Kamchatka.
