Khabarpark, 25 June – These are the Top 10 Deadliest and Longest Range Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in the World. They are as follows. Watch the footage to know about their power and impact.The following list looks at ten of the most destructive or ‘effective’ nuclear missile systems currently in service in the world. Accuracy, range, number of warheads, warhead power and mobility are factors which make these systems so destructive and dangerous. This list is presented in no particular order because these nuclear missiles don’t always share the same task or objective. One missile may be developed to destroy a city while another type may be designed to destroy enemy missile silos. In addition, this list does not include missiles currently being tested or not officially deployed. Thus, missile systems like India’s Agni-V and China’s JL-2, both in stages of testing and to be officially operational this year, are not included. Israel’s Jericho III is also left out as there remains significant gaps in knowledge about the missile and doubt about whether it is an Intermediate range missile or a full ICBM.

R-36M2 – ICBM SATAN (Soviet Union/Russia)From 1945 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the world endured the Cold War and the constant specter of a possible nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. During this time, both sides built thousands of nuclear weapons which ranged from small bombs and cruise missiles to massive Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) and Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBM). Britain, France and China added to this stockpile of weaponry with their own nuclear arsenals.
