Basically, a chemical booster rocket propels it into space, once in space the warhead bus separates from the booster rocket, the booster rocket fall toward earth and burns up, the warhead bus maneuvers to aim the warhead(s) at the target(s) and releases the warhead(s). When a warhead arrives at its target at the preset burst height/depth it detonates.
There are many other detail steps I have skipped over to keep it simple.
What else can I help you with?
Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.
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.
How fast can a nuclear missile travel?
A nuclear missile can travel at speeds of more than 15,000 miles per hour (24,000 km/h). These missiles are designed to reach their targets as quickly as possible to minimize the chances of interception.
What has more power an atomic bomb or a nuclear missile?
The question you are asking is equivalent in many ways to asking "Which number is bigger 27 or 27?" as an atomic explosive and a nuclear explosive are generally considered the same. The only difference is a bomb is typically an explosive delivered by a manned airplane whereas the explosive warhead on a missile is delivered by either a rocket or an unmanned airplane called a cruise missile. Either one could be a higher yield explosive, or as I stated in the example at the beginning of this answer both could be identical.
Does the us have weapons able to shoot down nuclear bombs?
Yes, the US has missile defense systems like the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missile threats, including nuclear warheads. However, intercepting a nuclear bomb is highly complex and challenging due to various factors such as the speed and altitude of the incoming missile.
Is the atomic bomb the same thing as the nuclear missile?
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.
How do build a nuclear missile?
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?
Which nuclear war did jfk stop?
1962. The Cuban missile crisis. The soviet union set up nuclear missile camps in cuba
Why's it called an 'Atomic Missile'?
Because it is a missile with one or more nuclear warheads.
When did the Nuclear Missile on Mexico happen?
never.
Can a black hole be destroyed be a Nuclear missile?
No

How do deactivate nuclear missile?
Pour water over it.
Can north Korea launch a nuclear missile from a submarine?
No
What event marked the beginning of the Cuban Missile Crisis?
Soviets build nuclear missile sites in Cuba.
What are the release dates for Regulus The First Nuclear Missile Submarines - 2002?

What is a nuclear war head?
A nuclear warhead is a nuclear bomb designed and optimized to be carried by some kind of missile.
