How far and fast can nukes travel?

Nuclear missiles can travel intercontinental distances, with ranges varying based on the specific type and design of the missile. In terms of speed, nuclear missiles can travel at speeds of several kilometers per second, depending on the missile's propulsion system.


How fast does a Nuclear Warhead of Russia travel?

A nuclear warhead launched from Russia can travel at speeds of up to 15,000 miles per hour or more, depending on the specific type of ballistic missile used. These missiles are designed to travel at hypersonic speeds to reach their target quickly and with minimal chance of interception.


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 far can nuclear missile travel?

Nuclear missiles can travel thousands of kilometers, with some intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of reaching targets on the other side of the world. The exact range depends on the specific missile and its design.


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 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?


How many different types of submarines are there?

Propulsion-wise, there are 2 types - Nuclear Powered and Diesel-Electric. Class-wise, there are several: Fast-Attack Ballistic Missile Guided Missile (e.g., Tomahawk)


How long does it take for a nuclear missile to travel?

Depends on:Launch siteTarget siteSuborbital direct flightOrbital flight, how many orbits to warhead release
