They can open the doors slowly via some hydraulic method. I do not suspect during tests they use the rocket opening option which can open the door in two seconds.
Comment on I'm watching Wargames(1983), could local people have heard the missile doors opening during a test?
Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 11 months agoThe caps to missile silos are several feet thick and made from concrete and steel. From what I remember, when the door opens it’s pushed to the side by rockets. So it’s a little more dramatic than a garage door.

Probably at least 3/4 horsepower then.
