What was the long-range tactical ballistic missile originally developed during the Cold War by the Russians?
Scud
Is the ICBM a rocket or missile?
An intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is a long-range (greater than 5,500 km or 3,500 miles) ballistic missile typically designed for nuclear weapons delivery, that is, delivering one or more nuclear warheads.Source: Wikipedia.
What is the speed of ICBM?
ICBM stands for Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles is a ballistic missile with a long range (greater than 5500 km or 3500 miles)
Iran launched which missile recently in April 2009?
In April 2009, they shot "TD-2" ICBM (inter-continental ballistic missile). Since then they have a new long range missile shot in January of 2010.
What is an Anti-balistic missile?
The Romans created the first ballista. It looked like a very large cross bow. It throws things a long way (relatively). A ballistic missile throws itself. An anti-ballistic missile throws itself at the incoming ballistic missile.
What is a ballistic missile?
A ballistic missile is a term that defines a missile's flight path. There are two types of flight paths as far as missiles are concerned: approach angle control and ballistic. A ballistic flight path describes a missile that is launched to a high altitude and adjusts itself to "fall" onto the target. That is how ballistic missiles are capable of such long attack distances. They fly high into the air and, depending how far the target is, either drop on top of it or simply glide to it. Approach angle control describes a missile that reaches it's target under it's own power. Meaning, it's fuel is pushing the missile all the way until detonation. This differs from a ballistic flight path because, generally speaking, a ballistic missiles booster fuel is used up completely by the time it reaches it's apex of it's flight. Hope that answers your question.
Was the German v2 missile manned by people?
No it wasn't. V-2 was first true long range ballistic missile. As such it was following a ballistic curve without any kind of in-flight course corrections. Keep in mind missile's motor only burned for about a minut and after that missile continued its free flight. Much like a stone you throw with your hand. Like the stone, the missile aiming had to be done in advance. There was however a proposed manned V-2 version with a brace of small wings which would help the missile to exdend its range gliding towards its target at a shallow angle. It never progressed beyond design stage however.
What is the site of the first US long range missile squadron.?
name of the site of the first u.s. long range missile squadron
Which country has the best missile defense system?
Missile defense systems which can intercept launched missiles before they land come in two flavors: In terms of long-range Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) systems which are employed in case of long-range nuclear warfare, the United States, Israel, and People's Republic of China have the most advanced technologies in the area. In terms of regional missile defense, the United States, Russia, People's Republic of China, France, and India have such systems. Notes: Although the United Kingdom has both long-range and short-range missile defense systems, their usage and development rely heavily on the guidance of the United States. Similar cases include regional missile defense systems stationed in Japan nand the Republic of China (Taiwan). Russia, being a large cross-continental country can relocate its anti-missile systems anywhere within the state territory, thus, eliminating the need of developing long-range missile defense. European states, due to their lesser sizes (destroyed much too quickly in a nuclear war), proximity (easily reached by a short or medium-range missile from a neighbouring state) and protection from the United States (NATO and other defense treaties), do not have the immediate reason to develop long-range missile defense.
How are nuclear weapons important to defense?
Without nuclear weapons, another nation with nuclear weapons could launch an attack without worry of a retaliation. There are not that many ways of diverting a long-range ballistic missile.
