How much does a typical nuclear warhead weigh?
A typical nuclear warhead can weigh anywhere from several hundred pounds to a few thousand pounds, depending on its design and yield.
How does a nuclear missile work?
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.
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.
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.
Which country developed a missile warhead with nuclear warhead and nuclear capabilities named 'Red Snow'?
Red Snow was developed by the United Kingdom.
What is the biggest nuclear bomb US made?
I have heard that it was a Titan II warhead at 25 megatons, but have not verified.
What is the meaning of nuclear weapon?
The meaning of the word nuclear weapon, is a weapon that has a nuclear warhead on it.
Where can you buy a nuclear warhead?
Black market
What is a nuclear missile made of?
A standard chemical rocket, same as used to launch satellites, with a nuclear warhead in its nose cone, instead of a satellite. Simple isn't it?
How much does a typical nuclear warhead weigh?
A typical nuclear warhead can weigh anywhere from several hundred pounds to a few thousand pounds, depending on its design and yield.
What is a nuclear war head?
