Build a missile for launching satellites into orbit. Build a nuclear bomb. Replace the satellite payload of your missile with that nuclear bomb. Adjust the missile guidance system to drop the bomb on a selected target instead of injecting it into orbit. Simple?

Nuclear weapons how far can they fly?

with a nuclear weapon they vary from short and long distances it depends what they equip the missile with like external boosters if everything is added which could make it fly further it would reach almost 7 000 miles ish give or take a few hundred


Do nuclear bombs travel through space?

Yes, why couldn't they? An ICBM carries its nuclear warhead into space and then releases it allowing it to fall from space onto its target. Several hydrogen bomb tests had been performed by the US in space in the early 1960s (one of these caused a delay to a Gemini space mission due to a radiation belt it created that could hurt the astronauts). A project to build spacecraft propelled by nuclear explosions called Project Orion began in the middle 1950s and was stopped in 1963 when the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty prohibited nuclear explosions in space.


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.

Can nuclear weapon explode if nuclear tipped missile is intercepted in air by the anti ballistic missile?

Maybe. If ABM was nuclear itself, it will probably cause fratricide in the warhead causing it to dud. If ABM is conventional it might detonate conventional explosives in warhead. Whether this produces yield or not depends on how safe the warhead was designed against one point detonation nuclear yield.
