Missiles
Missiles are a self-propelled guided weapon system. Missiles have four system components: targeting and/or guidance, flight system, engine, and warhead. Missiles come in types adapted for different purposes: surface-to-surface and air-to-surface (ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, anti-tank), surface-to-air (anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic), air-to-air, and anti-satellite missiles.

Apparently it can be fired from a standard 155mm howitzer artillery gun
What are symptoms of a missile wound?
A missile entry wound may be accompanied by an exit wound, and bleeding may be profuse, depending on the nature of the injury
What is the site of the first US long range missile squadron.?
name of the site of the first u.s.

Are ballistic missiles guided missiles?
Yes, although not in the same sense as, say, an air-to-air missile. They're programmed prior to launch.
Technically, a ballistic missile is, by definition, unguided, as it follows a trajectory dictated by pure physics (hence, the name "ballistic").
However, the vast majority of modern ballistic missiles are equipped with a warhead which does have a guidance package. So, the ballistic missile is launched, and follows a predictable flightpath. At some point, the warhead deploys, and then, the warhead can steer itself onto target. In some cases, (such as nuclear ICBMs), the warhead is actual a subassembly (called a "bus") which contains multiple actual warheads, and the bus itself is guided. In other cases, the warhead is a single package with guidance and steering integrated into it. The key here is that the missile itself is unguided, and follows a standard path, while the warhead package may or may not contain guidance.
What is the exact amount of times can a trident missile destroy the world?
The trident missile is the result of many changes since 1956 when the first trident was brought to service. The specific amount in the nuclear charge has never been realeased.
What is the dodic for Missile Defense Agency?
DODIC is the Department of Defense Identification Code assigned to ammunition supply items. It identifies the caliber, type of bullet, packaging, shipping case, and other information. A different DODIC is assigned to each possible combination of these variables.
What is a sentence for the word missile?
The ball became a missile aimed right at my neighbor's window.
Did Cuba ever have nuclear missiles?
No. Cuba itself never had nuclear missiles although the USSR set up nuclear missile launch sites in Cuba.
The range depends on the missile, but a typical range is 3000 miles.
Are tank missiles different from battleship missiles and airplane missiles?
All of these missiles are different sizes, and carry different payloads.
The impact of 10 Titan 2 nuclear missiles would cause widespread devastation, with immediate blast effects and subsequent radiation exposure affecting a large area. While it would not completely wipe out mankind, the destruction and radiation fallout would have severe consequences on human life, infrastructure, and the environment. Recovery would be difficult and long-term effects could be significant.
What are ballistic missiles and are they just nukes?
Ballistic Missiles can have conventional or nuclear warheads. Iraq's Scud missiles during the Gulf War is a good example of a cheap conventional BM.
Ballistic Missiles are launched from a land or sea based launcher into a sub-orbital trajectory towards its intended target. Many nuclear BM's are MIRV'ed - Multiple Independent Re-Entry Vehicles, or multiple warheads. As the warhead descends from its apex, the MIRV's are separated and head for their independent targets. This can be done with conventional weapons as well.
A lot of development into ABM weapons has had a lot of success - Boeing recently tested its Airborne Laser system, which uses a tracking, targeting and destruction laser to kill BM's in its boost phase where it's most vulnerable, though it can conceivably nail warheads as well (Google it and you can watch the video). It uses radar tracking from land, sea and orbital sources to track targets, and is mounted on a 747. The Air Force also has successfully tested an ABM interception missile.
What is the cost of a patriot Missile?
The U.S. recently sold 209 Patriot missiles to Kuwait for about $900 million. Therefore, each missile costs $4.3 million.
Did President Kennedy remove nuclear missiles from Turkey to resolve a crisis?
The placement of U.S. nuclear missiles in Turkey is thought to have provoked the Cuban Missile Crisis. Missiles in Turkey were close enough to strike Moscow, so Russia placed armaments in Cuba, which was within striking distance of U.S. soil.
The Missile Crisis, began on October 14th 1962. Robert Kennedy said, during negotiations with the Russians that the missiles would be removed within a short time after the crisis ended. The Missile Crisis ended on October 28th of 62 and the missiles were quietly taken out of turkey some time after April 24th 1963.
Which missile is surface-to-surface ballistic missile?
Lots and lots. ICBMs and IRBMs are both types, as well as a wide range of anti-ship missiles, land attack cruise missiles, and other more eccentric varieties.
What is a heat seeking missile?
A heat seeking missile is basically a homing missile, that only searches for heat (there is lava on one side and a computer on the other side. The heat seeking missile will hit the lava because lava is WAY HOTTER than the computer).
If you pronounce it MIssle, It could be bristle, whistle, thistle, etc.
But if you mean missILE, it can be infantile.
What was the goal of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty?
to ensure each side remained vulnerable to the others nuclear weapons.
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.
