    I need them to define years ago. Because Krasnov has been dying to nuke something, so i don’t buy for a second any “readiness” tests scheduled by him.

      GTs or “Glory tests” have been done quarterly for decades at this point, hence being on GT-255, with the first being 63 years ago when the Minuteman was new. They’re meant to show that we can pull any random sample of our ground-based ICBMs and they’ll function, along with collecting data on how the fleet performs as it ages, among many other things. They have nothing to do with Trump, fortunately.
