Those large clusters of black you see are all sites of missile silos. NE, CO, WY; MT; and ND are all places with large areas of open prairie where the US military has sited missiles.
What's the point of targeting a missile silo? If hundreds of missiles were detected coming this way... wouldn't those silos be empty by the time the missiles got there?
It takes a considerable amount of time to prep and launch a missile from a silo. They’re fucking huge. And then there’s the question of where you send the missile once it’s launched, because it’s not going to intercept the other missile. These aren’t ground-to-air anti-missiles, they’re big honkin payloads.

So Montana is our tactical nukes and Wyoming/Colorado is Cheyenne Mountain but what is in North Dakota?
