How dangerous is ICBM missile?

The impact of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) occurs when the missile's payload hits a target. Its impact could cause massive damage, including the deaths of millions of people. This missile launches at a height of 100 kilometers. Reaches target within 2 minutes. It covers a distance of 7 kilometers in one second, which makes it not easy to track.

millions of lives will be lost

The damage caused by an ICBM depends on the size of the bomb and the location of impact. For example, an ICBM with a 3,600 kg payload can produce an explosive damage radius of up to 1.47 km. 188,564 people may die due to this in urban areas.

The United States is developing missile defense systems to intercept and disable ICBMs. However, no missile defense system has yet proven effective against real ICBM threats.
