well, that’s why they do excersises and tests.
Surprised this was made public so soon to be honest.
You cannot really hide it. The launch has to be public to warn airplanes and ships so they can avoid the area. And once the launch is public, such a failure is quite evident to anyone who was interested in following it, so you might has well publish the news instead of trying to hide the unhidable.
My first thought was “I wonder how often this sort of thing happens in US tests and drills. Because there’s absolutely zero chance they would tell us.”
Literally every US mishap makes the news, are you high?
How would you know if they aren’t telling you? Idk about you, but I’m not getting any reports about drills and tests from my representative. Maybe military contractors are getting that for the specific equipment they’re selling so they can improve on issues, but I don’t expect that that info is publicly available. After all, mishaps might hurt stock valuation 🙃
Here you go.
Nice! Thanks for the resource!
Everytime a plane skids off the runway you hear about it in the news, sorry your congressman didn’t personally send you a letter about it.
That’s not the same as a submarine testing a missile launch, dude. A plane missing a runway is something that people nearby will see. I’m talking about stuff that would require clearance to even know that they’re testing it in the first place lol.
Not really, that was one of the points of the Snowden leaks.
Snowden wasn’t leaking military mishaps last I checked.
Yeah, I mixed it up, I remembered this one.
Imagine scene on board the sub.
“Errrm guys the missile, which is full of fuel, is coming down on top of us. Suggest we move, sharpish!”
Tally-ho, chaps!
Engage evasive manoeuver reverse sharpish left zag-zig Omega 0, full skedaddle speed.
I love you comment here. That is all.
So this wasn’t a joke?
Yes prime minister is the most accurate documentary about British politics of all time.
Yup, and this wasn’t fiction https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11846996/
This is an Arsenal failure.
FC Porto 1 Arsenal 0
See the trouble with arsenal is, they always try to walk it in
A trident missile flopping into the sea is, to be fair, a ludicrous display.
“A TRIDENT missile dramatically misfired and crashed into the ocean yards from the British nuclear submarine that launched it, The Sun can reveal.”
Crashed into the ocean.
A wave hit it
But did the front fell off?
It will be towed outside the environment.
At sea?! Chance in a million!
Well some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.
Was it made of cardboard or cardboard derivatives?
So that’s why they were making such a big deal about NK’s rocket tests, they were insecure at the results they were getting.
Missile is against Brexit. Seems reasonable to me.
