Ho thata ho nahana ho keteka meralo ea ntoa ea nyutlelie, empa ke sona se neng se le lethathamong la Hill Air Force Base, haufi le Ogden, Utah Labone le fetileng, Hlakola 12.
Moketeng oa likhau oa semmuso, ho bile le likhau bakeng sa "batšoantšisi ba hloahloa" setsing se kenyeletsang Sehlopha sa Selemo, Moithaopi oa Selemo le Molekane oa Bohloho oa Selemo. Molaoli oa setsi, Col. Ron Jolly, o itse, "Airmen mona e bona setšoantšo se seholo 'me baa tseba hore ke ... mabapi le ho fana ka tšehetso ho Team Hill."
"Team Hill" ke eng? Ho lihekthere tse milione e le 'ngoe le basebetsi ba 20,000, Hill AFB e filoe mosebetsi oa ho boloka le ho leka "ts'epahalo" ea, har'a tse ling, limisaele tsa naha tse 450 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic kapa ICBM. Lirokete tse bolelele ba limithara tse 60, tse boima ba lithane tse 39, tse nang le lihlooho tsa nyutlelie tsa 335-kiloton (nahana Hiroshima, makhetlo a 22), li ka fofa lik'hilomithara tse 6,000 ho isa ho tse 7,000 pele li hlasela lipakane tse khethiloeng ke Global Strike Command (lebitso la eona la sebele) Omaha.
Setsi sa tlhahlobo sa "state of the art" sa Hill AFB se etsa litlhahlobo tsa "ho thatafala ha nyutlelie, ho phela, ho tšepahala" ... "mahlaseli a nyutlelie, ho phatloha ha moea, ho thothomela le ho sisinyeha" le "electromagnetic pulse." Tsena ke litlamorao tsa ho phatloha ha libetsa tsa nyutlelie, 'me setsi se boloka li-ICBM tsa rona li "ts'epaha" - tse seng li le malala-a-laotsoe ho tsoa ho li-bunkers ho pholletsa le North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado le Nebraska.
Ka mantsoe a metsu ea boloi, "ts'epehi" e bolela tiisetso ea hore lifefo tsa radioactive tse koahelang 40-square-miles-per-warhead li ka hlahisoa lefats'e hole ho sebelisoa lirokete tse qalisoang ka senotlolo. (Daniel Berrigan o kile a ngola hore Ntoeng ea II ea Lefatše, Majeremane a ile a isa batho moo ho chesoang litopo teng, le hore hona joale limisaele li isa litopo ho ea ho batho.)
Ka April 2014, lihlopha tsa sesole li ntse li etsa mosebetsi oa tsona oa Cold War - lilemo tse 26 ka mor'a hore "ntoa" e fele - li ile tsa fumana khothatso e ncha ha Hill AFB e fana ka "Brent Scowcroft Awards". Ba ile ba ea ho basebetsi ba sebetsang ka thata "Sehlopheng sa Launch and Test" le ho ba bang ba sebetsang ho lokisa, ho tsamaisa thepa, ho reka le ho hong ho bitsoang "stainment."
Moputso o reheletsoe ka Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, eo nakong ea bora ba Ntoa ea Mantsoe a ileng a etella pele khomishene ea mehleng ea Reagan e khothalelitseng ho eketseha ha tšebeliso ea chelete ho li-ICBM. Komisi ea Scowcroft ea 1983 e khothalelitse “matla a holim’a lefatše a nang le matla a maholo, a potlakileng a matla a ho bolaea.”
Poleloana e reng "hard target kill" e bua ka libomo tsa H tse nepahetseng ka ho lekaneng hore li ka senya limisaele tsa naha e 'ngoe ka har'a likampong pele li ka qala - "teko ea pele" ea nyutlelie. Sena ke seo metsu ea Minuteman III e ka se fihlelang joale le seo ba se sokelang hona joale, 24/7, ka lihlooho tsa bona tsa ntoa tsa Mark 12A. Khomishene ea Scowcroft e ile ea eletsa Sesole sa Moeeng ho etsa limisaele tsa ntoa e le 'ngoe, e leng sona hantle seo sesole sa rona sa Minuteman IIIs se fetohileng.
Joalo ka "limisaele" tse hlasetsoeng ke mahlabisa-lihlong libakeng tsa bona tsa ho qala tse tenang, tse shoeleng tse haufi le Malmstrom Air Base, FE Warren Air Base le Minot AFB, Team Hill e lokisa le ho bentša mochini oa koluoa ea nyutlelie. Ofisi ea eona ea Lenaneo la ICBM System e na le "lisebelisoa tsa ho qala" tsa "missile" tsa Minuteman le lits'ebeletso tsa setsi sa taolo. Hill's Nuclear Weapons Center "e nts'etsapele, e fumana le ho ts'ehetsa li-ICBM tsa silo…e laola li-spere… e ts'ehetsa lits'ebetso tsa ICBM tsa silo" hape e reka "likarolo tse ling, lits'ebeletso le litokiso" bakeng sa mananeo le lithunya tsa "Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)."
Lilemong tse peli tse fetileng, Hill o ile a fana ka konteraka ea $ 90-millione ho feme ea Cincinnati ho haha teraka e ncha bakeng sa ho hula li-ICBM tse kholo. Teraka, e bitsoang "transporter erector," e kenya lirokete le ho li tsamaisa. Ho latela Air Base, "e tla sebeletsa Minuteman III ICBM ho fihlela 2035."
Empa ho thoe’ng ka “lefatše le se nang libetsa tsa nuclear” la Mopresidente oa Moputso oa Khotso? Monna ea Matla ka ho Fetisisa ha a khone le ho koala kolone e nyane, e ncha, e haufi le lebopo la Guantanamo. Ho phephetsa - ho fokotsa haholo - tekanyetso ea ntoa ea nyutlelie ea lidolara tse libilione, Prez e ne e tla hloka bofetoheli bo boholo bo khahlanong le li-nuke le ho hloka tšabo ha MLK.
Ho sa le joalo, balaoli, bahlokomeli le batšehetsi ba rerang le ho etsa lintho tse ke keng tsa boleloa ba tsielehile, ba ferekane kapa ba tsielehile hoo ka mokete oa la 12 Feb. XNUMX oa Team Hill, “baeta-pele ba sechaba ba tsebahalang le baeti ba khethehileng ba ileng ba fana ka likhau.” Modulasetulo-mmoho wa komiti ya ketsahalo o itse, “Re ne re hlile re batla hore batho ba kgethilweng ka kgau ba ikutlwe jwalo ka batho ba tummeng.” Ofisi ea Litaba tsa Sechaba e ile ea ithorisa ka “mabaka a ho paka makoloi, lipuisano tse mabapi le 'mmete o mofubelu,' hors d'oeuvres, string quartet le motjeko.
Ke nako e fetileng ea ho lumela hore boitšoaro bona bo khelohile le ho phatlalatsa hore mokha oa ntoa ea nyutlelie o felile. Potso ha se hore na ke mangeloi a makae a ka tantšang hloohong ea phini, empa ke "banyalani ba bohlokoa" ba bakae ba ka khonang ho ba le li-ICBM tse 450 tse laetseng.
