Delaying.

This is coolbert:

Yet once more this has occurred?

Routine functional test of an American Minuteman III missile delayed. Missile sans warhead  as an exercise of the weapon system and launch crew both.

Previously delay was to assuage the tender feelings of the Russian? This delay to assuage the tender feelings of the Chinese?

Launch and test delayed as a result of the Nancy Pelosi trip to the Far East?

"US Reportedly Delaying Minuteman III Missile Test Amid Taiwan Tensions"

04.08.2022 [Aug. 4, 2022].

From the Russian controlled [?] Internet media Sputnik and thanks to same.

"WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States is delaying routine Minuteman III missile test launches to avoid further provoking tensions with China following US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s contentious trip to Taiwan, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday."

"The US Air Force postponed the test launch to avoid any misunderstandings with China given recent tensions regarding Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, the report said."

"The test, which takes place several times a year to assess the reliability of the US intercontinental ballistic missile systems, was initially planned to occur this week at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California"

See previous blog entry that Minuteman III launch delayed for the fear of antagonizing the Russian:
