How many? Specs?[edit]

The article is very weak on hard facts - like how many missiles will be deployed? What range will they have and how many warheads shall they carry? Oneiros (talk) 20:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it is weak on specs... because the information does not yet exist in the public sphere.Kylesenior (talk) 10:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's an extremely classified weapons system that's not in active service yet. Hold your horses comrade, you can do all the open-source intelligence gathering your heart desires in due time once we've got it.⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 15:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We seem to know what the system will cost, but not how many missiles will be bought? Oneiros (talk) 20:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; we know the system cost because budgetary funds had to be appropriated for the system development. We do not yet know the total size of the purchase, as that is something that is in continual flux and changes with the political landscape and periodical reviews. We also don't know the exact specifications on it because they're still in development, but even once they're fixed they're sure to be classified and we're only going to have close approximations from the arms-control and missile defense community. Welcome to the U.S. defense procurement system. Hope you enjoy your stay. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 23:02, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LGM-35 replaces LGM-30, some 1000 missiles. There are 450 in silos. The range was 6300 miles. That numerical capacity and capability is about as accurate as you will get for something sure to be under negotiation. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 22:11, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
