Comment and Personal Opinion: My high school classmate was an Army Missileer trucking nukes around Europe. Were he still alive, a call to ask him about just how that worked would be enlightening. The heat and fire generated by ICBMs is extreme. Wonder what kind of trucks could be used for this mission?

By putting Sentinel on road-mobile launchers, pulled by heavy trucks in military convoys operating in the sparsely-populated quarters of the US, the next-generation ICBM could be deployed quicker — and cheaper — than waiting for new silos to be constructed.
