Within the lists of each country, missiles are ordered by designation and/or calling name (the latter being especially relevant for Russian/Soviet missiles). In some cases multiple listings are used, in order to provide cross-references for easier navigation. This is a list of missiles developed by a particular country; a list of Military rockets.
Japan, South Korea and Poland [citation needed] are generally considered de facto nuclear states due to their believed ability to wield nuclear weapons within 1 to 3 years. [ 17][ 18][ 19] South Africa produced six nuclear weapons in the 1980s, but dismantled them in the early 1990s.
Intercontinental ballistic missile. A US Peacekeeper missile launched from a silo. Minuteman III launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, United States of America on 9 February 2023. An intercontinental ballistic missile ( ICBM) is a ballistic missile with a range greater than 5,500 kilometres (3,400 mi), [ 1] primarily designed for ...
The French Air Force and French Navy retain aircraft-carried nuclear-tipped cruise missiles to fulfill the pre-strategic role (tactical-sized weapons used as "ultimate warning" before launching an all-out strategic strike). M51 SLBM (three variants : M51.1 from 2010; M51.2 from 2015; M51.3 projected from 2025 onwards)
It tested the first nuclear weapon on 16 July 1945 ("Trinity") at 5:30 am, and remains the only country to have used nuclear weapons in war, devastating the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The project expenditure through 1 October 1945 was reportedly $1.845–$2 billion, in nominal terms, [ 53 ] [ 54 ] roughly 0.8 percent of the US ...
Comparison of anti-ballistic missile systems. This is a table of the most widespread or notable anti-ballistic missile ( ABM) systems, intended in whole or part, to counter ballistic missiles. Since many systems have developed in stages or have many iterations or upgrades, only the most notable versions are described.
The S-300PMU2 has the best chance of intercepting an SRBM missile as it employs the 48N6E2 missile which has a warhead optimized for destroying ballistic missiles, and better kinematics compared to earlier 48N6 missiles. [34] HQ-9 may have some ABM capability. [Note 2] [34] New missiles, the HQ-19, HQ-26, and HQ-29, are being built. [38]
