On Saturday morning, according to people briefed on what happened,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a squadron of ICBMs suddenly dropped down into what’s known as “LF Down” status,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], meaning that the missileers in their bunkers could no longer communicate with the missiles themselves. LF Down status also means that various security protocols built into the missile delivery system, like intrusion alarms and warhead separation alarms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], were offline.

“We’ve never had something as big as this happen,” a military officer who was briefed on the incident said. Occasionally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], one or two might blink out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the officer said, and several warheads? are routinely out of service for maintenance. At an extreme, “[w]e can deal with maybe 5, 6, or 7 at a time, but we’ve never lost complete command and control and functionality of 50 ICBMs.”

President Obama was briefed this morning on a power failure at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming that took 50 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), one-ninth of the U.S. missile stockpile, temporarily offline on Saturday.
