Don’t think so, but I am not going to re-debate this. I am aware of this, or a similar program. We talked about it ba k in 84 in our Trident book. It certainly is possile, but again there was no evidence os a warhead explosion. However, such a test could have been done without a warhead to prove the ejection/burn. That even a black program would conduct such a test over civilian airspace without clearing an area. That part is utterly not believable.
I’m open to all explanations. I just found this particular poster interesting, he seems genuine and if so he has a closer view of how black programs operate than most of us.
His guess is a very bad decision by an operations manager to run his test near civilian airline traffic. From what he says in other posts they are quite autonomous and with only a tiny few in the loop there wouldn’t be much, if any, vetting.
IIRC, the tests were being done to prove that the missiles could take out the drone in crowded commercial airspace without hitting commercial traffic.
