A new website associated with the supplemental environmental impact analysis, launched Oct. 9, states that just over a quarter of the sites could be on land not currently owned by the Air Force, with the service considering: Acquisition of land and construction of up to 30 new launch silo sites around F.E. Warren Acquisition of land and construction of up to 30 new launch silo sites around Malmstrom Acquisition of land and construction of up to 60 new launch silo sites around Minot Additionally, the service said it is evaluating old sites at Malmstrom formerly operated by the 564th Missile Squadron, now inactive, to reuse for up to 60 new launch silo sites. The Air Force is planning to buy up to 12 acres per silo, according to the supplemental EIS website. ... The new EIS website states that the Air Force will reutilize Missile Alert Facility sites for Launch Centers “where feasible,” but at Minot specifically, officials are considering “construction of new launch center sites in previously undeveloped areas,” the website states. Each Launch Center would have a footprint of up to 16 acres. Another new consideration is the construction of a “purpose-built Operations Group Facility” at Malmstrom. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-may-buy-land-for-120-new-sentinel-icbm-silos/

Moscow’s nuclear threats and the care taken by both NATO and Russia to avoid direct conflict since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine mean that nuclear weapons, nuclear coercion and nuclear deterrence still matter in a European security order again shaped by mutual antagonism. Washington’s shifting posture, though it does not yet appear to have changed Moscow’s nuclear calculations, adds a dangerous degree of uncertainty, particularly for NATO allies in Europe. In an atmosphere of intense distrust, which heightens the danger of misinterpretation, NATO members and Russia can help mitigate risks by engaging at government, expert and other levels to more effectively communicate messages and to better understand one another’s postures. While ambiguity will also play a role in deterrence, and hostility makes engagement difficult, communication can help avoid misunderstandings. In time, such contacts may also allow for limitations on capabilities, if broader dialogue becomes possible. https://www.crisisgroup.org/rpt/europe/europe-russia-ukraine-united-states/273-changing-role-nuclear-weapons-europe

The U.S. Air Force’s scramjet-powered Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) has finally reached the flight test phase, with at least one “release” having been carried out so far over a range in Australia. HACM has suffered significant delays, and the Air Force has taken the risky step of scaling back overall testing plans to try to keep the program on schedule. The stated goal is to be able to make a decision to start rapidly acquiring HACMs in 2027. https://www.twz.com/air/first-release-of-usafs-new-hacm-hypersonic-cruise-missile-has-happened-over-a-test-range-in-australia
