10 Powerful Missiles That Can't Be Stopped

the world is populated with a wide range of long-established missile variants and service while these enormous ly powerful weapons are poised for their next assignments ever more powerful designs are either in the planning stages or are being realized with the implementation of recent high budget programs fascinating too are the unexpected alignment between government agencies whose technological Giants are emerged in collaborative programs one example would be the recent work on BrahMos shared by India and Russia the reason for raids of military strength coupled with displays of new weaponry conducted in Russia North Korea India China and Iran have military Watchers noting that it's impossible to know exactly what will emerge next here's a list of some of the world's most powerful missiles simultaneously admired and feared right now one SS and 30 Russian warships let fly 26 of these cruise missiles on October 7 2017 they were sent to Syrian rebel targets located 1,000 miles from the warships located in the Caspian Sea the Pentagon provided the name for these almost unknown missiles as they were a surprise even to those who keep a regular well-trained eye on Russian and its military the attack is being viewed as a kind of calling card to the rest of the world that Russia's new missiles have taken their place amongst the most advanced in existence the missiles completed the objectives of striking 11 targets including a terrorist training camp command centers armament oil and munitions storage and ammunition and explosive producing plants though exact statistics are obviously unavailable the missiles demonstrated that they are similar to the tomahawks used in combat successfully by Great Britain and the United States to LGM 30 Minute Man 3 ICBM this intercontinental ballistic missile is one part of the United States strategic deterrent forces its name describes its function the letter L is the way the Defense Department designates missiles which are launched from a hardened silo the letter G stands for a surface attack the letter M means it is a guided missile Minuteman missiles have existed since the late 1950s these weapons provide quick reactions inertial guidance high reliability high accuracy and significant long distance target capabilities as of 2015 more than 450 Minuteman 3 missiles are in force in Wyoming Montana and North Dakota since the first Minuteman 1 missile was deployed in the 1960s the series has been continuously upgraded and enhanced created by Boeing Company these missiles feature a minimum of three solid propellant rocket motors with three stages of ATK's three stages of chemical systems thrust including 203,000 158 pounds in the first stage 60,000 793 pounds in the second stage and 35,000 and 86 pounds in the third stage a range of more than six thousand miles speeds of approximately 15,000 miles per hour three Rs 28 sarmat satan - this warhead has the capability to destroy targets flying across the North and the South Poles it was first unveiled on the website of the mikheyev rocket design bureau in 2016 it's range is expected to exceed 6,800 miles with the capability of destroying areas of the earth comparable in size to France or Texas URI boss eov Russian Deputy Defense Minister announced this news to tasks the Russian state news agency the warhead is one successor to the are 36 MV avodah and news of its existence was released just after Moscow made the announcement that it has suspended the arms reduction agreement it has held with the United States the new Satan - replaces the SS 19 Satan missiles and solidifies fears that our world without nuclear weapons is a dream which has come to an end 4dl 41 this is China's most deadly intercontinental ballistic missile in fact it is one of the world's deadliest though exact specifications are not yet known it is believed that it was entered into use in 2016 or 2017 it's range is estimated to be 12 and kilometers which gives it the capability to target all areas of Europe Russia and the United States reaching any of these countries within a mere twenty to twenty-five minutes it carries solid fuel and up to ten MERS the multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles which add to its overall power making it even more accurate is the internal BAE dal Chinese satellite navigation system the missile is carried into launch position by the Tien HTF 5980 cross country vehicle with a sixteen by sixteen configured special wheeled chassis five Tomahawk cruise missile the tomahawk was first deployed in 1984 it was named for the axe used by Native Americans it is a subsonic cruise missile design for long-range flight to strike land targets which are either a heavily defended or of high value it travels at approximately 550 miles per hour and has a range of about 1,500 miles the missile can be piloted to take evasive routes using guidance systems tailored to specific missions its official title is tomahawk land attack missile or T Lam it has been successfully launched from both US and UK submarines and u.s. Navy surface ships there are several variants of the tomahawk with various enhancements the most reason is capable of being reprogrammed during flight using satellite communications to program alternate targets or to redirect using GPS coordinates it carries a nuclear warhead and depending on the model additional bomblets six ugm 133 Trident 2 Lockheed Martin built the submarine launched ballistic missile it is deployed by both the United States and United Kingdom navies it has been in service since 1990 though variants have added greater payloads longer range and increased accuracy since the missile was first developed these improvements have given it the ability to function as one of the most efficient first strike weapons it launches within seconds after the command is given to breach the water surface and begin flight toward its target the Trident 2 comprised of three solid fuel rocket motors which ignite in sequence to propel the rocket forward it has a range of four thousand two hundred and thirty nautical miles and can receive GPS updates via its MK 6 Astro inertial guidance system it has carried a range of warheads with varying payloads and will receive a new warhead designed for future engagements 7 Jericho 3 this intercontinental ballistic missile is the first for Israel it was preceded by the short-range Jericho 1 and the medium-range Jericho 2 there is some indication that it shares technology with the space launch vehicle known as Chabot the Jericho missiles have evolved over time and the current version has a warhead that is guided by radar and having a substantial range in fact it encompasses the entirety of Asia Africa Europe and the Middle East it can also reach most of north ossetia nia and north and south america for this reason it allows a nuclear warhead launch into almost any location on earth giving the Israel Defense Forces considerable clouds it has a significant velocity of reentry and this makes it immune to the missile defense systems currently in place on earth the silos which house the Jericho 3 are thought to be impervious to almost any nuclear attack 8 Agni missiles one through six this family of long-range nuclear surface-to-surface ballistic weapons are named after the Hindu god of fire the Agni 1 2 & 3 are already in service the Agni 4 has completed its trials as of January 2017 and the Agni 5 should enter service within the Indian Army sometime from 2017 to 2018 the missiles represent variants in range payload and number of rocket stages the Agni 3 is remarkably accurate and considered worldwide to be one of the most accurate in the intermediate range class the series uses some of the most advanced navigation and control technology developed indigenously 9 and 51 this French SLBM submarine missile is the only ice which France has and as such it is significant to its military strike force it is a variant of less powerful predecessors upgraded to a range of 8,000 kilometers the three-stage solid propellant weapon can attack targets all around the globe with deadly results when launched the missile powers upwards for several hundred kilometers to launch from six to ten Murs each of these has a thermonuclear warhead of 107 kilotons which ultimately speed down to their targets at Mach 25 finally deploying penetration aides that ensure success it takes just 20 minutes to travel 4,500 kilometers allowing no response time for intended targets 10 bgm-71 teo w2b this newest version flies to a position over a tank and fires projectiles into the tank piercing its top armor previous versions are wired but this newest one is Wireless the Geo W can deploy from any vehicle on the grounds Raytheon took in orders totaling more than a half billion dollars in September 2017 to build these wireless radio-controlled weapons which are the precision anti-armor weapons used by more than 40 Armed Forces internationally today this is the designation for the classic missile system and used since 1970 by American forces Co W means tube launched optically tracked wire guided 11 D F 31 AG mobile intercontinental ballistic missile this is China's newest upgrade of its DF 31 a from 2009 the missiles primary improvement is that this version can deploy multiple warheads and this improves China's ability to penetrate the missile defense of the United States it was displayed as part of the People's Liberation Army 90th anniversary parade in July 2017 12 deep strike this is a new long-range tactical missile it is being developed by Raytheon for the United States Army and will be capable of striking targets with precision at distances of up to 300 and 9 miles away including those on land or sea and stationary our move they will replace the cold war-era atacms developed to strike high-value targets at a range of 190 miles or less 13gb you 57a be massive ordnance penetrator the MLP is manufactured by Boeing and it is designed to reach into the deepest bunkers on earth it will penetrate the most fortified and reach nuclear weapons stored underneath the surface of the earth 20 of these 30,000 pound 20.5 footlong 32.5 inch diameter penetrating bombs are expected to be delivered to the United States Air Force 14 agm-114 B km Hellfire this is one variant on the family of agm-114 hellfire missiles they are air-to-ground subsonic missiles guided by laser they can defeat any tank known to the world today they have superior precision power when striking bunkers structures and helicopters created by Lockheed Martin and Boeing the solid propellant rockets fly at subsonic speeds with shaped charge warheads featuring blast fragmentation the fire-and-forget missiles are used throughout the United States Marine Corps Navy and Army 15 are 36 M s s 18 Satan this Russian intercontinental ballistic missile is the heaviest and most powerful in the world it is part of a family of r-36 models that have been used since the Soviet ICBMs were first cold launched in 1971 since then the many variants of these silo launched missiles have been extremely capable they have high speeds high throw weights and can carry as many as 10 Merv's and 40 penetration aids they are also difficult to intercept they have the capacity to destroy an area as large as three states including Rhode Island Vermont's a Maryland's but the aging missile family is gradually being phased away from service so that more powerful and modern systems can be deployed 16 sm6 the United States Navy has launched its new long-range and he ship missile LR ASM may strategic bomber b-1b Lancer over the Point Mugu see range the extended missile range is designed to launch from ships and aircraft without being close to enemy counter fire the subsonic missile is outfitted with 450 kilograms of blast fragmentation warhead and penetrator it functions to identify and target a specific ship within a group of vessels it employs an onboard multimodal sensor that controls its navigation and transitioning throughout its course until it reaches and impacts its intended target Lockheed Martin designed the missile to integrate into the Navy's operational concept of distributed lethality 17 coram char missile this is the newest ballistic missile Iran unveiled as part of a Tehran military parade the parade commemorated the 1988 beginning of the iran-iraq war and the missile carries the name of the Southwest Iran city which was first attacked the missiles range is 1243 miles and it can carry multiple targetable re-entry vehicles Merv within a slightly shorter target range the missile was completely conceived and developed in the country and experts consider it medium-range at most but it marks a new push within the country to strengthen its military capabilities with newer and more powerful weapons 18 r29 are mu2 Lehner this Russian missile has a range of 11,000 kilometers it can carry 12 warheads it is the newest SLBM and service in Russia as it has only been operational since 2014 it is an extensively updated variation on the r29 rmu synneve the new Lehner can carry low yield warheads with an estimated 100 kilotons for each it is flexible too as it will allow for reduction in the warhead load in order to replace them with decoys designed to improve the odds of survivability 19 modified rs-24 ballistic missile Russia recently reported that its new version rs-24 yars successfully tested the yars is an ICBM de with a three warhead configuration the experimental design is planned to create a more accurate weapon which is harder to track and intercept the test launch took place in northwestern Archangel esc' Oblast and the missile flew about 3,400 miles to impact the current missile test range located across the country in Kamchatka Krai it was launched from the Plast cosmodrome there is some controversy that this missiles modification may be an attempt to avoid the strategic arms reduction treaty which places limitations on the number of warheads Russian and US forces can have available by creating a three-in-one multiple warhead one missile can effectively do more damage while remaining a count of 120 BrahMos this missile from India and Russia is the fastest cruise missile in the world it reaches mach 2.8 to 3.0 a hypersonic version means BrahMos 2 will reach speeds of mach 7 to 8 to facilitate aerial capability for fast strikes it can be easily launched from aircraft submarines ships and land and can fly at a distance of just 10 meters above the ground the short-range supersonic cruise ramjet missile was a joint venture between India's defence research and development organization and Russia's NPO Moschino sroa NIA the two governmental agencies formed the BrahMos aerospace organization to explore and expand upon russian sea-skimming missile technology the name is a portmanteau created from two rivers the Moskva in Russia and the Brahmaputra in India the goal of the new joint missile project is to have pinpoint accuracy when hitting protected targets let us know which one surprised you the most in the comments and if you liked this video subscribe to be the first to see the next one thanks for watching
