According to Agence France-Presse, the Pentagon said on the 2nd that Boeing had won a contract worth 1.6 billion dollars to provide guidance subsystem support for the US Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile. The United States Department of Defense said in a statement that this work will be carried out at Hill Air Force Base in Utah and is expected to be completed by February 1, 2039. It is reported that Militia 3, which has been in service for 50 years, is an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads in wartime. It is reported that the Pentagon launched a routine test launch of the missile last September. The missile without a warhead was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, flew 4200 miles (6760 kilometers) over the Pacific Ocean, and then crashed into the sea near Kwajalin Atoll in the Marshall Islands. It is reported that Minuteman 3 intercontinental missile is the only land-based intercontinental ballistic missile in the US nuclear arsenal. It is installed in launch wells, which are distributed in three military bases in the northern United States, Wyoming, North Dakota and Montana. (Outlook New Era)
