The United States has successfully conducted an electronic test launch of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, Offutt Air Force Base said.

The test, conducted Sept. 17 without actually launching the missile, was called a "signal to our allies and adversaries." Such tests are conducted twice a year to ensure the missile system is ready for operational use.

Minuteman III is a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile that has been in service with the US Army since 1970. Its range is about 9.5 thousand kilometers.

The last test launch of the missile was conducted in June, another test took place in September 2023. In the mid-2030s, Minuteman III is planned to be completely replaced by Sentinel missiles.

Russia currently has 5,580 nuclear warheads, of which 1,710 are in combat readiness.

The United States has 5,044 nuclear warheads, of which 1,770 are deployed.

📸Offutt base is in Omaha, Nebraska.

Satan 2 failed again

OSINT researcher MT Anderson published satellite imagery from September, 21 showing that at the Plesetsk test site in Mirny, Arkhangelsk, apparently an ICBM Sarmat exploded directly in the silo and destroyed one of the sites of the test site.

This is at least the 4th failed test attempt of the 'combat operational' Sarmat Heavy ICBM.
The Sarmat RS-28, (Nato name Satan 2) is one of the new 'Wunderwaffen' praised by Putin after the first (and last) successful flight test in 2022 that allegedly 'renders the West defense useless'.

The first group of Ukrainian pilots completed their training in France

Training on Alphajet aircraft lasted for six months, the French Armed Forces reported on the X social network, declaring their strong support for Ukraine's military efforts.

These jet trainers are equipped with an instrument panel that mimics the one on the F-16 fighters. In just 2 years, France promised to train 26 Ukrainian pilots.

After that, the pilots will probably go to the training center in Romania, writes European Truth.

The French Air Force Center has been training Ukrainian pilots since March 2024. The mass media reported that since March 10 pilots have been trained there.

☢️ I am grateful to the IAEA General Conference for passing a resolution on the Zaporizhzhya NPP that reaffirms the need for Ukraine to regain full control of the plant and withdraw Russian troops and personnel from ZNPP, - Zelensky

❗️Russia is the only terrorist regime in the world that has stolen a nuclear power plant, which is the largest NPP in Europe, turned it into a military base, and continues to use it for nuclear blackmail against our continent and the world.

President Volodymyr Zelensky called the figures published by The Wall Street Journal about 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed in the war with Russia a lie

"80 thousand? That’s a lie. The real number is much lower than what was published. Much lower."

On September 17, The Wall Street Journal released an estimate suggesting that the combined military losses of both Russia and Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 could exceed one million.

According to the publication, "the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed is 80,000, with 400,000 wounded."

🔥The orcs will not sleep well tonight - the largest mattress warehouse in Russia burned down in the Moscow region

Maria Stratulat was 14 years old. She lived in Kyiv and studied at specialized school No. 307 with in-depth study of natural sciences. She adored animals, helped the charity project "Four-legged Santa".

At school, she took an active part in various activities, was interested in learning a foreign language, and worked hard in additional courses.

"Polite and friendly, always ready to help. She was loved and respected for her sincerity. She studied best in the class, diligent and hard-working," said class teacher Vlada Dyatlova.

On July 8, 2024, Maria Stratulat died as a result of an enemy missile attack on Kyiv. Her younger brother, 8-year-old Andriyka , died nearby, and Anastasia's mother was hospitalized.

Kadyrov said he had sent "two more" Cybertrucks "to the special military operation zone."

Earlier, he complained that Elon Musk had "remotely disabled one vehicle."

Kadyrov said that the "remote shutdown did not affect" the other two pickup trucks and that they were "operating normally and smoothly."

The two Cybertrucks shown in the video are equipped with weapons - as is the vehicle Kadyrov showed in August. The video also shows drones being shot down. Where and when (and why) it was filmed is unknown.
