Both the warhead fusing system and the x-unit are built with electronics.

The missile guidance system is also built with electronics.

One can infer the general design and construction of all of these quite accurately given their requirements, but the details are classified.

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.
