Medium-range ballistic missiles, traveling between 1,000–3,000 kilometers (approximately 620-1,860 miles); Intermediate-range ballistic missiles, traveling between 3,000–5,500 kilometers (approximately 1,860-3,410 miles); and. Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), traveling more than 5,500 kilometers.

Which country has longest range missile?

Russian The longest-range Russian missile is the SS-18, codenamed 'Satan', which entered service in the early 1980s and has a range of 12,070 km (7,500 miles).

How many miles can a nuclear bomb destroy?

The volume the weapon's energy spreads into varies as the cube of the distance, but the destroyed area varies at the square of the distance. Thus 1 bomb with a yield of 1 megaton would destroy 80 square miles. While 8 bombs, each with a yield of 125 kilotons, would destroy 160 square miles.

Which is the deadliest missile in the world?

R-36M (SS-18 Satan) This Russian Intercontinental ballistic missile is the heaviest and most powerful in the world. It is part of a family of R-36 models which have been used since the Soviet ICBMs were first cold-launched in 1971.

Which countries can defend against nuclear missiles?

The United States, Russia, India, France, Israel, Italy, United Kingdom, China and Iran have all developed missile defense systems.

How far is a nuclear blast radius?

Within a 6-km (3.7-mile) radius of a 1-megaton bomb, blast waves would produce 180 metric tons of force on the walls of all two-story buildings, and wind speeds of 255 km/h (158 mph). In a 1-km (0.6-mile) radius, the peak pressure is four times that amount, and wind speeds can reach 756 km/h (470 mph).

Can you stop a nuclear missile?

"There's no law of physics against the prospect of intercepting them, but the laws of physics make it extremely challenging — and create all of these constraints on how difficult it is to intercept it," James Wells, a professor of physics at the University of Michigan, told Salon.

Can the US block a nuclear missile?

The answer, experts said, is not a very effective one. The US only has a limited ability to destroy an incoming nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile, a study released last month by the American Physical Society concluded.

Can a Russian missile reach the US?

New START limits all Russian deployed intercontinental-range nuclear weapons, including every Russian nuclear warhead that is loaded onto an intercontinental-range ballistic missile that can reach the United States in approximately 30 minutes.

How long would it take a nuclear missile to reach the US?

Maintaining the option of launching weapons on warning of an attack leads to rushed decision making. It would take a land- based missile about 30 minutes to fly between Russia and the United States; a submarine-based missile could strike in as little as 10 to 15 minutes after launch.
