Ohio began service on Veterans Day 45 years ago, and is still serving as SSGN-726. But before conversion to a Special Forces Clandestine Command Center, she performed SSBN strategic deterrent patrols for over two decades.

⚠️🇨🇳🚀 There is a lot of reports on a supposed Chinese ABM test yesterday.
It was most probably (99% sure) just the Ceres-2 space launch from Jiuquan that happened on Oct. 6th at 23:38 UTC / 07:38 local time.
The position of the Moon and Venus matches. You can look at @CNSpaceflight and other accounts for the video of the launch.

🇫🇷🚀 less than a month after the M51.3 launch, French Ministry of Armed Forces conducted last night a new ballistic launch from Biscarosse test site using the @ArianeGroup's SyLEX sounding rocket.
This launch was dedicated to testing new technologies for the M51.4 ballistic missile that will equip French strategic submarines in ~10 years from now.
Une nouvelle avancée pour notre dissuasion !
Cette nuit, la @DGA a réalisé avec succès, depuis le site Landes à Biscarosse du centre d’essais et d’expertise DGA Essais de missiles, un tir expérimental de la fusée-sonde française SyLEx (système de lancement d’expériences), développée par @ArianeGroup sous son pilotage.
Ce lanceur national permet de tester en vol de nouvelles technologies au profit de la dissuasion française, du développement de démonstrateurs hypervéloces et d’applications civiles. Plus encore, il redote la France d'une capacité souveraine de vols suborbitaux et d'essais en haute atmosphère, dont elle était privée depuis plusieurs décennies.
Moins d’un mois après le tir d’acceptation n° 6 réalisé depuis le SNLE Le Vigilant, ce tir a permis de conduire de nouvelles expériences essentielles au développement du missile M51.4.
Félicitations à toutes les équipes mobilisées pour cette avancée technologique au service de notre souveraineté!

30 октября — 330 лет Российскому Военно-Морскому Флоту и День моряка-надводника

30 October 1961. Tupolev Tu-95V No. 5800302 carrying the RDS-220 bomb. The bomber had a nine-man crew, including navigator Major Ivan Nikoforovich Mite. The shock wave from the explosion travelled around the world three times.

Pourquoi diable s’être offert la modernisation d’un de ces croiseurs si ce n’est pour ne pas la répliquer au deuxième survivant ? Vous imaginez le travail titanesque pour concevoir le chantier de refonte ⁉️ 🤦♂️

Unusual view at a PLAN Zubr-class LCAC aka Type 728
China has acquired two Zubr from (then) Ukrainian builder PO More by 2014, followed by two more built in China using Ukrainian parts. Two indigenously produced units followed by 2023, and three or more since then. Image via Wb.

I'm still watching this for a possible upcoming west coast Trident II D5LE flight test. I think we're about a little over 2 weeks away, so could be a Halloween light show like this one from USS Kentucky around the same time of year back in 2015.
Could be nothing, could be something... been watching the navigation warnings and NOTAMs since USNS Waters came through the Panama Canal in late August, but nothing yet stands out and seem to line up with standard Vandenberg & SpaceX Starlink missions.
We are now past a year since the last Trident II D5LE test flight (below) and 3 years since one on the Western Test Range, which means I'm going to stay put on the lookout watch shipmates 👀

A new entry in the dfnc.ru magazine covers the Ukrainian FP-9 missile
The solid-fuel is likely based on ammonium perchlorate (AP) with a HTPB. The production of this type of propellant could potentially be established in Denmark

North Korea has conducted an SLCM launch. The (unconfirmed) suggestion is this test occurred using the Romeo-class submarine modified 841 Hero Kim Kun Ok re-launched in 2023, which DPRK modified to launch ballistic and cruise missiles.

🇫🇷☢️ How does an M51 missile launch work? 🚀
The recent return of high-intensity conflict between nuclear powers makes it necessary to reappropriate the major concepts related to nuclear deterrence. While the political aspects are widely covered, the technical and operational ones are much less so, even though there is an extensive literature on the subject in English, but mainly dating back to the Cold War.
In this new article, I explain the steps of a strategic missile launch from a submarine, such as the M51.3 launch that took place off the coast of Brittany on October 6th. Some lesser-known aspects are explored in detail, particularly regarding the reentry bodies — from the strategy of their deployment by the vector to their arrival on the target — all without compromising any of the weapon system's secrets (which I don't know anyway).
To accompany the text, @CalvaireDrach created the magnificent infographic that we released on the day of the launch.
This is part of a broader book project, which will primarily be aimed at newcomers to the professional world of this field — but not only — and which aims to fill an identified gap for this type of document.
Please feel free to share your feedback and comments on this project, as well as any errors or questions about the text — since the subject combines several different technical and physical domains 🙏
Enjoy the read and have a great Sunday!
