We're all scared of something, I suppose.

Yep. They are 270 of them spread between 3 plots each about 12,000 square miles. One nuke isn't going to take out more than one of them at once assuming one managed to land before the US ones launched.
Nah, 400 sites across the 3 fields, about 150-200 at each. But, yea- 12,000sq miles is about the size of just the Malmstrom field and I’m pretty sure that’s a 200 site field. Some of the info on the nets is outdated because it’s still referring to the previous generation of missiles. So, anything about Minuteman III is “current”. Minuteman IIs arent used anymore. The silos are also designed to withstand a direct hit. Of course that’s “ehh..for the most part”, lol, but still…
And to echo a different commenter, all this info HAS to be public knowledge because of all the peace treaties. Different countries are always coming by and doing their own inspections to make sure we’re keeping our part of the agreements. And all the missiles sit targeted at oceans, never at any actual targets. Of course if the need to target and fire happened, places are likely lined up. But the saying “we got our missiles pointed at X country because of Y situation” isn’t quite accurate because of all this, lol.
