They're from the 70s, aren't all the designers/engineers dead?

Fun fact they used a unique type of aerogel called "fogbank" as a packing materials for the fusion components inside most of our MIRV warheads and when Obama signed that bill that renewed and modernized our nuclear weapons program they couldn't reproduce the aerogel because the company that made it was long gone and to keep the project secret they never wrote down how to make it.

It's doubtful anybody's ICBMs from the mid 20th century are in good working order.

Fogbank was then reverse engineered by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), over a span of five years, and at the cost of tens of millions of dollars.

The recipe for fogbank was let slip into the abyss because nobody expected to be alive long enough for replenishing it to matter. Nobody who grew up in the 50s expected their grandchildren to live to adulthood, unless it was an as extra in a real world Mad Max remake.

Thereโ€™s a theory that Russian nukes might not all be working due to funding. Nuclear weapons require a shit load of expensive upkeep, and some beleive that when the USSR collapsed and was taken over by Jewish gangsters, a lot of funding for that maintenance was stolen and the records falsified.

We don't care about our nukes because we (corporations within the US MIC) have been secretly creating weapons that make them irrelevant for decades.

I believe so, us nukes are solid rockets so they should work, russia seems to be having constant failures with their old icbms during tests but their own are liquid hypergolic rockets which are more complex.

But i won't be suprised if the 60s & 70s schizo engineering of the usa worked better than the modern stuff.

The 60s & 70s usa outsoruced everything to 20000 companies this is why the usa never went back to the moon it was all outsourced to companies that at the same time outsourced to others which outsourced to others.

When the orders never came again things like the lunar module or saturn v rocket engines their built process was lost.

After decades of sanctions, an underfunded military and corruption, it'd be a miracle if even a quarter of their birds got off the ground, let alone actually hit a target.

refurbishment efforts have made them unreliable, it's no longer 60s or 70s engineering. it's DEI hire nigger grade tyrone engineering.
