ab6262 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 12 hours ago, Delbow said: A second fail in a Trident missile test launch from a UK submarine, when the missile that was supposed to travel for thousands of miles landed not far from the sub itself. In a previous test, the missile veered off course and landed nowhere near the target. But hey, don't worry! Grant Schapps says that if it were fired in a real war with a real nuclear warhead on it, it would be fine. Without explaining why. It just would be fine, okay? He was there at the launch, incidentally, and said that “The test reaffirmed the effectiveness of the UK’s nuclear deterrent". The failed test. er its why we do tests to check they work and then adjust, is that hard to understand in your world??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Findlay Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 You wont get funding if it works so a failure will mean lots of funding and lots of testing to get the capability measure back. A great way to do testing as its not portrayed at any aggressor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 9 hours ago, melthebell said: They don't do that though, 2 tests in what 12 years, and both have failed, they don't test willy willy as each missile costs millions, so they only fire one. Again if they needed to fire a live one tommorow what would the difference be?, blind patriotism won't fix it, schnapps blindly saying it'll be reyt won't fix it The difference would be it would not be launched in test mode. When they do a test it is also in safe mode and over caution can override the default settings. Nothing to worry about if a live situation occurs if you are on our side and not the enemy.

I'm surprised he hasn't said that Boris should be in charge of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
