UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has stated that a British Trident II D5 nuclear missile, which was unarmed, experienced an “anomaly” and fell into the Atlantic Ocean after a failed launch from a Royal Navy submarine -HMS Vanguard.The humiliating incident marks the second successive Royal Navy Trident launch test failure in 8 years.Viewers may note that the long interval between test fires is due to the seven-year refit program.The timing of this failure is really bad, earlier this month, one of Britain’s two flagship aircraft carriers, the HMS Queen Elizabeth, had to be withdrawn from the largest NATO exercise since the Cold War over a propeller issue, and caused a lot of embarrassment.In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why the launch failure of Trident II D5 SLBM from HMS Vanguard is concerning for Britain?#defenseupdates #TridentIISLBM #HMSVanguard Chapters:00:11 INTRODUCTION02:00 THE TEST FAILURE03:56 TRIDENT II D5 SLBM ARMED VANGUARD CLASS SUBMARINES 06:59 ANALYSIS
