On 2 March the US Department of Defense (DoD) postponed a scheduled test launch of the LGM-30G Minuteman III silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system.
US Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) had planned to conduct the test of an unarmed Minuteman III from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, in the early hours of 3 March, local time, but elected to postpone the test launch to avoid escalation of nuclear tensions with Russia.
Earlier, on 27 February Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing ‘aggressive statements' by NATO, ordered his deterrent forces – which includes nuclear forces – to be placed on a ‘special regime of combat duty' as international tensions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine escalated.
