Still looks like a giant penis to me.

Judging from all the parts & panels apparently flying off of it in the photo, it doesn’t look like a particularly sturdy thing.

@MalcoveMagnesia
the way ALL of the panels are coming off perfectly, i’d say they are meant to be falling off…

Although Ironic, Peacekeeper is an apt name for it. How many nuclear wars have their been? Zero. MAD for the win

It’s a type of discarding sabot. Since the missile itself ins’t perfectly round, and would honestly get stuck inside the launch tube if they were fired like a gigantic gun, they put them little pieces all around it to plug up whole, through with gasses would escape. Gun nuts can agree, you need those gasses to help propel the missiles from the tube before the main rocket ignites and sends this bitch off to make the “nuclear ocean.”

..”plug up the HOLE, through WHICH the gasses would escape.”

“Gun nuts can agree …”
And physicists
Though I always thought they were fired like conventional rockets, in that the main engine causes lift off.

Well, in these types of missiles, you need a sort of pre-rocket to go off before the main rocket does. The main rockets are fuckin’ hueg and would explode the silo tube with it’s sheer forcefuck of a blast. The first rocket it way smaller and gets the rocket out of the launch tube and about 15 feet in the air, at which point the main rocket kicks in, much liek a v-tec. [lol] THEN the rocket goes sailing off to some other continent to asplode tha natives.

MAD was actually a better smart idea, but it only works if both sides don’t want to die. To bad the Islamist want to (I would probable want to die also if I couldn’t drink a beer, eat some bacon, get an occasional blow job or even just look at a hot chick, fuck that).

I spent four years of my life maintaining the communications-electronics that empowered these bad boys to be launched. Then we reached an agreement with another “world superpower” to downsize our weapons arsenal and got rid of all of these. So, though this pic is cool – these missiles are no longer in use. We still have the Minuteman III’s hangin out. The difference is that the MM only have the potential to carry 3 warheads – the PK’s could hold up to 10…
