propeller missile. This is most advanced submarine launched missile.
This
missile has maximum range of 12,000 km & payload as large as 2,800 kg. In United
States, The trident had been tested 143 times from the starting of this project
to July 08.
4)
R29RMU2 Layner – SLBM ( Russia)
It
is Russian newest liquid-fuelled submarine-launched ballistic missile. It is
developed by Makeyey Rocket Design Bureau manufactured by Machine-building
plant. This missile has range 11,000 km and can 12 low yield nuclear warheads.
5)
RSM-56 Bulava – SLBM ( Russia )
The
Russian RSM-56 is an intercontinental –range, Submarine Launched, Solid
propellant Missile. The Bulava missile in smaller size. This missile is 12.1 m
in length , has a diameter of 2.0m, wt. is 36,800 kg. This missile may be carry
between 100 to 150 kt. It’s range is
8,300 km.
6)
LGM-30G Minuteman III – ICBM (USA)
It
is a Minuteman III is an intercontinental-range, silo-based, solid propellant
ballistic missile system. More than 40 years of continual innovation &
improvement. It has an effective system with extremely fast launch time. The
minuteman 3 missile has a maximum range of 13,000 km carries a payload of 3 RVs
(Reentry Vehicles).
7)
RS – 24 Yars – ICBM (Russia)
The
RS-24 is modern generation 10,000 km range intercontinental ballastic missile,
having ability with three & four multiple independently target able reentry
vehicle. Russia conducted the first
reported test of the new RS-24 ICBM in May 2007.
8)
RT – 2UTTKh Topol-M – ICBM ( Russia )
The
Topol-M is a 3 stages, solid propellant, road-mobile intercontinental ballistic
missile. Its range is estimated minimum 2,000 km to maximum 10,000 km with
payload 1000-1200 kg & top speed is 7.3 km/sec. The topol-M entered service
in 1997.
9)
DF – 31/31A – ICBM ( China )

development journey of the missile began in 1970 to 1990. At the beginning
stage the missile’s submarine based Df-23 was made. After that many improvement
in missile & redesigned it with advanced features probably intended to
replace the older version in 1990s. Maximum ranges of this missile between
8,000 to 11,700 km & payload of 1,050 to 1,750 kg.
10) M51 – SLBM (France)
France
third largest deploys nuclear arsenal in the world. This missile is most
advance component. It entered service in 2010 & presently installed in the
Triomphant class of ballistic missile submarine. Its range is around 10,000 km
with capability of carrying 6 to 10,100kt warheads per missile.
