The V1 was a petrol engined 'flying bomb'. Quite primative, it had enough fuel to reach somewhere near its target. Then run out of fuel. It was horrifying if you were under it, you could hear the engine start to cough and then stop. You knew it was coming down, but where?. Those great boys in the spifires stopped a lot of them over the coast. They developed the knack of getting a wing under them and guiding them out to come down in the sea.
The V2 was very advanced but fotunately arrived late in the war, it nevertheless counted for much damage and loss of civilian life. It was a genuine rocket-powered guided missile, designed and built by Werner Von Braun, later to become a member of the US rocket research.

Was the German v2 a bomb?
No, the V2 did not have enough range to hit Liverpool, only south east England. Liverpool is in the north west of the country. Liverpool was bombed in WW2 but with bomber aircraft not missiles.
What section of a guided missile contains the main explosive charge?
The warhead section of a guided missile contains the main explosive charge. This is the part of the missile that is designed to detonate upon impact with the target in order to achieve the desired destructive effect.
Are nuclear missiles explosive?
Although the missiles themselves are not intended to explode, malfunctions can cause the missiles to explode in flight. This was a repeated problem during early development of most missiles intended to carry nuclear warheads; some even exploded directly on the launchpad. One Titan II missile even exploded in its silo, throwing its warhead nearly a mile away (but without the warhead exploding).The nuclear warhead or warheads carried by the missile are clearly explosive, some with yields up to 20 megatons. But they are no longer attached to the missle when they explode. The missile carries the warhead or warheads into space, where they separate and the warhead or warheads reenter the atmosphere, then explode about a mile above a city or just below the ground surface near a missile silo or other fortified military facility.
What is the top of a missile called?
The top of a missile is called the "warhead." This component is responsible for delivering the missile's payload, which can be explosive, nuclear, or chemical in nature, depending on the missile's design and purpose. The warhead is typically designed to detonate upon impact or at a specified altitude for maximum effectiveness.
What is the size of a typical nuclear warhead on an ICBM?
Remember that most modern weapons are dial-a-yield weapons, which means the warhead can be boosted anywhere from a minimum to a maximum yield. This all depends on the ICBM delivery vehicle, the specific warhead, the country of origin and the yield set on each warhead. I'd say anywhere from 150 kilotons to 450 kilotons or so per warhead, depending.

How do missiles explode explode?
Missiles can explode upon impact with a target due to the detonation of their warhead or payload. Explosives within the missile are usually triggered by a fuse or proximity sensor, resulting in a rapid release of energy that causes the explosion.
