@cubed0724 Did the United States only have three? We don't need to count too much time, let's start from 2018. 1. "Minuteman-3" intercontinental ballistic missile:
- In July 2018, a "Minuteman-3" self-destructed due to a malfunction over the Pacific Ocean.
- In February 2021, the US Air Force canceled a "Minuteman-3" test launch for an undisclosed reason.
- On November 2, 2023, the US Air Force had an "abnormality" during a "Minuteman-3" test launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, and the missile was "safely terminated" (self-destructed) over the Pacific Ocean. South Korean Ministry of Defense personnel were invited by the United States to observe the test launch, and the result was embarrassing.
AGM-183A hypersonic missile:
- All three test launches in 2021 failed. This caused the project to have a sharp drop in development funds under the intervention of Congress, and the situation was precarious.
- Test launches in 2022 continued to fail. After a failed test launch in March 2023, the AGM-183A was essentially abandoned, and the few test missiles that had been produced were converted to research purposes.
Trident Missile:
- In June 2016, a Trident II missile (made in the United States and used by the United Kingdom) launched by the British Royal Navy's Revenge nuclear submarine successfully ignited its thrusters, but soon after the missile deviated from its flight path and eventually initiated a self-destruction program.
- In January 2024, during a Trident II missile launch exercise conducted by the British Royal Navy's Vanguard nuclear submarine, the missile's first-stage thrusters did not ignite as planned, and the 58-ton missile (equipped with a dummy warhead) fell into the sea.

@filipbitala2624 The Battle of Changjin Lake in the Korean War. This was a battle in the early days of the Korean War. From November 27 to December 24, 1950 (just 28 days), a direct confrontation took place in the Changjin Lake area of North Korea. The U.S. military included the 1st Marine Division (abbreviated as the 1st Marine Division) and the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions, as well as the 1st Army of South Korea, with a total of about 100,000 troops (the U.S. military dispatched 195 tanks, 7 aircraft carriers, and 500 military aircraft. 3,000 sorties hovered over the volunteers every day); the 9th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, which launched the attack, consisted of the 20th Army, the 26th Army, and the 27th Army, with nearly 150,000 troops (only the army). This is the data of the battle between the two sides, and this is the scale of the war. In the 28-day "Changjin Lake" battle, the U.S. military suffered 19,843 casualties, and the Chinese Volunteer Army suffered a total of 48,156 casualties. In just 28 days, the total casualties of both sides were close to 70,000. This is the intensity of the war. The Chinese Volunteer Army had no communication equipment, and communication relied on whistles and charge horns. Armed with old weapons, wearing ragged clothes, eating potatoes frozen harder than stone at -40 degrees Celsius, we fought barefoot in the snow against the American troops armed to the teeth. We drove the American troops out of the strategic position of "Changjin Lake" and wiped out the "Polar Bear Army" that the American troops were proud of. Our "bitter victory" was exactly what the United States feared. What does it mean to do whatever it takes? What does it mean to move forward courageously? Do you understand?

@kolsen6330 On the evening of June 30, Beijing Tianbin Technology Co., Ltd. issued a statement saying that at 3:43 p.m. that day, the Tianlong-3 liquid carrier rocket independently developed by Tianbing Technology carried out a hot test of the first-stage nine-machine parallel power system at the Comprehensive Test Center in Gongyi City, Henan Province.
During the test, due to structural failure at the connection between the rocket body and the test bench, the first-stage rocket detached from the launch pad. After liftoff, the onboard computer was automatically shut down, and the rocket fell into the deep mountains 1.5 kilometers southwest of the test bench. The rocket body fell into the mountains and disintegrated. The test site is far away from the urban area of Gongyi. Before the test, we worked with the local government to improve safety measures and organize the evacuation of surrounding personnel in advance. After investigation, no casualties were found.

In 1950, China's GDP was 4% of that of the United States. During the three-year Korean War, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered Korea to fight in various units with 1.9 million troops, and nearly 500,000 additional troops, totaling 2.4 million (only the army, 225 tanks). Check how much military force the United States invested in the Korean War. During the three-year Korean War, 1.796 million Americans entered Korea to fight. The United States has deployed a total of 1,153,000 army troops (1,823 tanks), 241,000 air forces (a total of 3,000 combat aircraft, with more than 1,700 aircraft on the battlefield at the same time), 130,000 marines, and 265,000 navy troops (210 warships). These figures do not include the United Nations. During the entire Korean War: 183,108 Chinese sacrificed and 383,218 were injured. US troops: 54,246 died and 103,248 were injured. The UN forces suffered 628,833 deaths and 1,064,453 injuries.
