How Does an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Work?

An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a guided ballistic missile with a minimum range of 5,500 kilometres (3,400 mi) primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery (delivering one or more thermonuclear warheads). Similarly, conventional, chemical, and biological weapons can also be delivered with varying effectiveness, but have never been deployed on ICBMs.

ICBMs are differentiated by having greater range and speed than other ballistic missiles: intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs), medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs), short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) and tactical ballistic missiles (TBMs). Short and medium-range ballistic missiles are known collectively as theatre ballistic missiles.

"how do we say we want peace?"
"I KNOW"
"*sends a peacekeeper*"

This is my favorite chess strat. Works every time.

[itsmemax]

cant believe they named a missile "peacekeeper"

[brodybrady]

Imagine having that first phase break off and falling into your living room😂😂

[somebritishguy]

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation.

ICBM´s were first developed by Sergei Korolëv in 1954-1957...

[gamehacker]

Wow the ICBM is pointy as same as the ICBM of wadiya

[garageflower]

This is a really informative video, most ICBM videos just copy and paste a load of incorrect information.

[mikebarbieri]

Is it possible to make a icbm with artificial intelligence also act on its own is it possible to increase the range of the icbm

[igotUbabe]

Anyone watching now because of Iran and Israel?😂

[benw]

It's insane how they're able to launch these such far distance, I wonder how much weight is made up of fuel.

[FuntooFatak]

Love and respect for U.S.A.from India.Hope U.S.A will standby to India in any conflict between China and India..🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[daffyyy]

Israel also have ICMBs the MD 620 "jericho 3" and she currently developing the "jericho 4"

[MrDhaneshnair]

How they find target location, main thing not mentioned.

[hemant]

How do they test its range, since you can't drop it on other country.... Maybe it move in circular motion in space?

[wkjswrf]

Those kinds of weapons are completely a nightmare

[sammyg.]

After the main part of the ICBM breaks off from the other components, do those components just land anywhere?

[nikemac]

When will the Minuteman III be replaced by a new ICBM????

[omarbahrour]

“A detailed analysis of the workings of such weapons is not possible…” hahaha yes, I definitely do understand
