The Minuteman III is an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of carrying nuclear warheads. When it was built in the 1970s, each missile had a price tag of $7 million, or more than $40 million in current dollars. Since the initial production run, the Air Force has made upgrades to the Minuteman III including modern targeting systems.
The missile test, conducted from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, sent a Minuteman III about 4,200 miles to a test range in the Marshall Islands.
Col. John Moss, 30th Space Wing commander, said the launch “was an important demonstration of our nation’s nuclear deterrent capability.”

We now need to fire several hundred of these, a few hundred cruise missiles, and drop several thousand tons of bombs on N. Korea and finish this BS once and for all!
Where's all this money coming from
for these missiles-----thought the
Gov. was broke!
THEY'VE HAD THEM NOT LIKE THEY WERE JUST MADE.
These missiles have been stored for years. Probably since the 50's and 60's. It's like anything else they are no good if you don't use them. They are only worth something if they are used and used effectively.
People - the goal here is a nuclear free Korean peninsula - we need to do what it takes to accomplish that. When they develop that missile that can reach the US, we will truly be sorry then if nothing is done now. It's serious. The questions is - where will Russia be in all of this?
In eight years Boeing stock has gone from $50 per share to over $150.
My question is this why are we hated by so many different countries. It seems to me that are government us guilty of so much more than we know about for people literally worldwide to do harm to us
