MX intercontinental missile system eyed with race-track idea
The UPI report says the Air Force backs a 4600-launcher MX system to be placed in remote desert sites across Utah Nevada Arizona or New Mexico with 23 shelters at about 1 mile intervals and a vast transport erector to move missiles to firing positions. Costs duels near 37 billion over a decade plus operating expenses, with inflation and overruns possible. Other cheaper options include mobile missiles on aircraft bases or Trident submarines, and moving multi warhead barges along inland waters facing local opposition and sabotage risks.
