Learn about the Minimal Man, the deadliest missile the United States has deployed in the South China Sea
Washington, September 8, 2020, Tuesday
The friction between the US and China over the issue of monopoly in the South China Sea is growing. In addition to Hong Kong and Taiwan, China is also embroiled in a dispute over the Ladakh border with India. Despite having a large area and population, the hunger of regionalist China is not satisfied. In fact, raising border disputes with neighbors is part of a strategy to prove dominance. The United States is challenging China's dominance in the South China Sea, where more than 90 percent of the world's merchant ships pass.
USA warships and warplanes are conducting maneuvers in the South China Sea. Tensions are rising between China and the US military. On August 8, China tested four medium-range ballistic missiles. China had earlier banned air services near Henan Island, warning of a missile test. The move by China was in response to US reconnaissance aircraft flying near its airspace.

The United States has not remained silent in response to China's missile test. The situation is much darker than the U.S. military's test of the Minitman, a nuclear missile capable of striking from Washington to Beijing. The Minitman missile is considered America's honor and dignity. The minuteman is a deadly weapon that can turn the tide of war. Minuteman has been involved with the United States since the Cold War with the Soviet Union. After becoming a US weapon in the 19th century, it was upgraded to a second version in the 19th and a third in the 190th. The missile may have been old, but the United States has not retired because it is technically two missiles.

This intercontinental ballistic missile is used to strike from one continent to another. The United States considers the minuteman capable of carrying an atomic bomb weighing 200 kilotons to be its special weapon, which is why it has never sold or taught its technology to any other country. In comparison, one can estimate how much destruction a minuteman can wreak. The missile, which has a range of 15,000 km, is aimed at the Guam naval base near China. LGM 30-G Minuteman is the latest version.
