Trident II Missile Launch, LAX Diversions and Russian Posturing
The hosts share emails from an air traffic controller and a defense contractor regarding the mysterious missile launch off the California coast. The contractor confirms it was a Trident II D5 test from an Ohio-class submarine, intended as a "Demonstration and Shakedown Operation" (DASO). The timing is interpreted as a "saber-rattling" response to Russian bombers flying near U.S. airspace a year prior.
