English:
LGM-118A
Peacekeeper missile
system being tested at the
Kwajalein Atoll
in the
Marshall Islands
.
This is a long exposure photo showing the paths of the
multiple re-entry vehicles
deployed by the missile. One Peacekeeper can hold up to 10 nuclear warheads, each independently assigned a target. Were the warheads armed with a nuclear
payload
, each would carry with it the explosive power of twenty-five
Hiroshima
-sized weapons which is equivalent to around 400 kilotons of TNT.
