for long ranges the path of the ballastic missile are used for ?
Answers
Explanation:
The comparatively large kill radius of a nuclear weapon does mean that one can sacrifice some accuracy. Nor are nuclear weapons as susceptible to the heat of reentry. All these considerations point to one conclusion: that long-range ballistic missiles are primarily suited to delivering nuclear warheads
a rocket-propelled self-guided strategic-weapons system that follows a ballistic trajectory to deliver a payload from its launch site to a predetermined target. Ballistic missiles can carry conventional high explosives as well as chemical, biological, or nuclear munitions.
The long-range ballistic missile is rightly considered the ultimate strategic weapon. It can deliver a payload more than ten thousand miles; its high speed makes it virtually invulnerable to defense; its accuracy when armed with a nuclear warhead suffices to destroy almost any target.
