Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are a major nuclear deterrent and only a few nations possess the technology to launch such long-range weaponry these deadly missiles have a minimum range of 5,500 kilometers modern ICBMs typically carry more than one nuclear warhead most modern designs support, Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRVs). So a single missile can carry several warheads each of which will strike a different target furthermore ICBMs carry an array of decoys that allow overcoming hostile air defenses.
