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.


How much does a typical nuclear warhead weigh?

A typical nuclear warhead can weigh anywhere from several hundred pounds to a few thousand pounds, depending on its design and yield.


What is the size of a typical nuclear warhead on an ICBM?

Remember that most modern weapons are dial-a-yield weapons, which means the warhead can be boosted anywhere from a minimum to a maximum yield. This all depends on the ICBM delivery vehicle, the specific warhead, the country of origin and the yield set on each warhead. I'd say anywhere from 150 kilotons to 450 kilotons or so per warhead, depending.


What section of a guided missile contains the main explosive charge?

The warhead section of a guided missile contains the main explosive charge. This is the part of the missile that is designed to detonate upon impact with the target in order to achieve the desired destructive effect.


How fast does a Nuclear Warhead of Russia travel?

A nuclear warhead launched from Russia can travel at speeds of up to 15,000 miles per hour or more, depending on the specific type of ballistic missile used. These missiles are designed to travel at hypersonic speeds to reach their target quickly and with minimal chance of interception.
