Missiles

I don't think a crossbow can actually fire a missle

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.

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.

The U.S. recently sold 209 Patriot missiles to Kuwait for about $900 million. Therefore, each missile costs $4.3 million.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Break hard and flare

If your talking about commercial planes they don't. You know about it when it hits you. If your talking fighter jets they either use flares or sonic disruptors or they turn of their radar. Even so these are very rare experiences so don't fret about them.

The majority of military aircraft are equipped with either infrared flares for use against heat-seeking anti-aircraft weapons, chaff for use against radar guided anti-aircraft weapons or electronic countermeasures to deceive radar, infrared or laser guided anti-aircraft weapons.

Small and maneuverable aircraft, such as fighter jets can combine deploying countermeasures with air combat maneuvers to help deceive on-coming missiles and improve survivability.

There is an example of the Germans using the first air launched guided missile in WW2. The Katushia rocket and the Nebelwerfewr were missile systems of sorts. The V1 & V2 Rockets were missiles, the V2 went into sub-space in flight.

The bazooka and missile launcher are the same in that they are portable, infantry deployed anti-armor weapons. (They can be used againsed fortified positions, too.) The bazooka, however, relies on the accuracy of the operator to put the munition on target. The modern missile launcher uses (not surprisingly) a missile, which is a guided munition. The projectile in a bazooka was a rocket, which is generally considered an unguided(except for the "aiming" of the weapon) munition. There is no attempt made here to confuse anyone, but the difference in weapons boils down to the difference between a rocket and a missile. And it is hoped that things were made clear. There are links below for further information, including pictures. The web also has posted in a number of places short clips of missile launchers in operation, and a link can be found below to footage of the M9 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher (the "Bazooka"). Missiles, because of their sophisticated electronic guidance systems, cost a lot more money per "shot" than the rocket-propelled shaped charge launched from a bazooka. That's why we see rocket-propelled grenades and similar munitions still on the battlefield today. These munitions are cheaper, lighter, easier to make and are, therefore, used broadly by modern "under-funded" and "unofficial" military units like Al-Qaeda and others.

Silo

The Soviet Union built 4 new classes of submarine-launched ballistic missiles and over 60 new missile submarines.

After an American U2 planes discovered installation sites being built in Cuba by the soviets, Kennedy called together the National Security Council, DOD, etc. to discuss what to do with this. We came up with three options. 1)Invade Cuba-Bay of pigs was a failure. 2) Air Strike- were afraid if we did do that ,t hey would shoot our planes3) Leave it alone. No one was really satisfied with those three option so we decided to Quarantine AKA Blockade Cuba. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared everyone to death; we were on the verge of nuclear war. In 1963 the US and the Soviet Union Signed a nuclear Test Ban Treaty which banned the testing of atomic weapons. A hotline was also set up between Moscow and Washington D.C.

Some can fly at Mach 3-6 while anti-ballistic missiles can achieve Mach 10

The Third Reich.

its not spud but "SCUD" missile.its a Russian missile but in NATOs code its called a scud missile.it was developed during the cold war.

For air-to-air missions, an F-22 would typically be armed with two AIM-9 Sidewinders in side bays and six AIM-120 AMRAAMs in a main weapons bay leading to a total of eight, but for missions involving close air support and conducting airstrikes four of the AMRAAMs would be replaced with either two GBU-31 JDAM guided bombs or eight GBU-39 small diameter bombs, totaling it to four missiles and two or eight bombs.
