“Proof of testing with live warheads happens pretty much daily.”
Six years in the navy and only one proof of testing with a live warhead. And everybody aboard knew about it.
The Navy’s Pinecastle Impact Range in the Ocala National Forest is the only place on the East Coast where the Navy can do live impact training. The Navy drops nearly 20,000 bombs a year at the site, a few hundred of which are live. The Navy has used nearly 6,000 acres of the 382,000-acre forest for target practice for 50 years under a special use permit from the US Forest Service.
200 live rounds per year on this one small 6000 acre range.
All depends on what you’re working with, where you’re working and why.
