1LT Sandy Annala I Heard about this Launch. Amazing Location, Rocket and Yes Platform. Size appears to be Minimal and Yes Transportable.
Geometrically a weird launch site.
but delivery is the easiest problem to crack for a ICBM, getting a small enough warhead is much harder. Civilian launchers cable of this or greater levels of performance are becoming very common, and that is not going to change There is a new space race underway and more racers are entering the track steadily.
Warheads can be delivered by container, or even a fishing boat

1LT Sandy Annala - thanks Sandy, my dad worked at McDonald Douglas in Long Beach security from 1982 to 1992. He was a retired deputy sheriff on service-connected disability and he worked at the gates on occasion at the Long Beach Airport plant. He recalls seeing Air Force General coming in in their own private converted bomber to visit the plant during the C-17 mock-up leading up to the C-17 production.
