Minuteman ICBM Technical Specifications:

Guidance:

Improved NS-20 (INS-20) gimbaled inertial guidance system
manufactured by Autonetics Division, Rockwell International. The bus,
or post-boost vehicle, is maneuvered by six pitch and yaw motors, and
four smaller roll motors. Current plans are to retrofit the existing
force with the gimballess AIRS (advanced inertial reference sphere)
developed for the Peacekeeper (MX) missile. This will increase
accuracy to 330ft (100 m), comparable to the Peacekeeper.

Ah, I see. So then since the ICBMs are in the silos pointing straight
up and they have no navigation system, then the only thing they could
ever possibly hit is the silo that launched them. Very good. You
nailed that one too.

who said that couldn't be programed to turned to aim towards a target as they
lift off. Who said that was a "navigation" system.

dumb cluck. don't even know English as a language.
