How far can nuclear weapons travel?
Gravity bombs, or bombs that fall straight down to the ground, are immobile and must be dropped by a bomber aircraft. Some ballistic missiles may travel for about tens to hundreds of miles, while larger ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missile) can travel up to thousands of miles in a sub-orbital spaceflight. For more, better info than mine, refer to this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_deliveryTHANK YOU WIKIPEDIA!!
How far can an SS-4 nuclear missile travel?
The SS-4 is a Russian medium range ballistic missile with capacity to carry a nuclear payload 1630 kg or warhead of 1-1.3 MT or 2-2.3 MT.The missile can travel upto 2000 k.m (1234 miles) to hit soft targets like cities and military bases.It was deployed by the Russians in the Cuban missile crisis.
How far can a nuclear bomb travel?
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
What is the top speed of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile?
Basicaly from what i understand about ICBM's is that in a First strike situation ,it would take 30 minuets for the missles to travel from American Silos in the Midwest to Russian silos in the Urals, so calculate the distance and devide it by the time involved to travel the distance and you'll come up with the speed.BTW the same formulation works the same for a Soviet first strike.They said in the Cold war in the 1980's that the response for a pre-emptive strike would leave a only a few minuets difference in the launchung of our ICBM's before a Soviet pre-emptive strike detonated.Cheak out MAD [mutual assured distruction.]and no first use policy as well as ""escalation"".
Can nukes travel all over the whole entire World?
The answer is yes, some nukes can travel all over the World and can travel really far. The most modern nuclear weapon delivery systems, the intercontinental and submarine-launched ballistic missiles, can plausibly deliver a weapon anywhere in the world. A nuke cannot, however, fly around like a jet.

How fast can a nuclear missile travel?
About 40000 mph to 60000 mph depending on the type of missile.
What is the intercontinental railroad?
Intercontinental relates to travel, commerce, relations, etc., between continents, so an intercontinental railroad would be one that has trackage that went between two different continents. Such as between the continents of Europe and Asia.
Can a nuclear weapon reach US soil?
Yes it can. The distance from Russia to the U.S is 9000km, r-36 Russian missile could travel 16000km in 30mins(and it is a 1967 one).

How are missile command links transmitted from the missile guidance set to the missile actuator controls?
Missile commands are send from transmitter after up-conversion of these commands so that they can travel long distances without any distortions and once they are received by missiles...the give deflections to missile control surfaces so as to match it with required change in it's attitude as per the requirements of missile guidance required.
