Top 10 Most Destructive Missiles in the World

A close look at the various armed forces around the world shows that the current trend is to improve and enhance existing missile models, while developing completely new missile systems that incorporate the latest technologies. Currently, the world has many variants of old missiles in service, but there are also many missile models that have been invented and improved. Here are the 10 most destructive missiles in the world!

1. BGM-71 TOW 2B

This latest version of the BGM-71 TOW 2B flies over a tank and fires a projectile at it, penetrating the tank's top armor. Previous versions were wired, but the latest version is wireless. The TOW can be launched from any vehicle on the ground. In September 2017, Raytheon received an order worth more than half a billion dollars to build these wireless, radio-controlled anti-armor weapons, which are currently in use by more than 40 armed forces around the world. The BGM-71 TOW is an American anti-tank missile designed to replace the much smaller SS10 and ENTAC, it also offers nearly double the effective range, a more powerful warhead and a significantly improved semi-automatic guidance system, and can also be equipped with an infrared camera for night use. The TOW designation stands for tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided missile. It has been in service since 1970, TOW stands for:

Tube-launched

Optically tracked

Wire-guided

2. M51

The M51 SLBM is a French submarine-launched ballistic missile, built by Ariane Group and deployed by the French Navy. This French SLBM is the country's only ICBM, making it a key part of their military strike power. Designed to replace the M45 SLBM, it was first deployed in 2010. Each missile carries between six and ten independently targetable TN 75 thermonuclear warheads. The M51 SLBM is a more powerful version of its predecessors, with a range of 8,000 km. The three-stage solid-fuel weapon is capable of destroying targets around the world. When fired, the missile flies hundreds of kilometers into the sky, launching between six and ten MIRVs. Each of them carries a 107 kiloton thermonuclear warhead that speeds down to Mach 25 before launching penetration enhancers to ensure success. It took just 20 minutes to cover 4,500 km, leaving no time for the intended targets to react.

3. Agni I-VI missile

The Agni missile is a family of intermediate to intercontinental range ballistic missiles developed by India, named after one of the five elements of nature. The Agni missiles are nuclear-capable, surface-to-surface ballistic missiles. The first missile of the series, named Agni-I, was developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme and was tested in 1989. After its success, the Agni missile program was spun off, realizing its strategic importance. The Hindu god of fire inspired them to develop long-range nuclear ballistic weapons. The Agni I, II and III are currently operational. As of January 2017, the Agni IV has completed testing and the Agni V is expected to be inducted into the Indian Army between 2017 and 2018. The missiles come in a variety of types, payloads and missile stages. The Agni III is a very accurate rifle that is often considered one of the best in the mid-range segment. The series uses some of the most advanced guidance and control technology, developed in-house.

4. Jericho III

The Jericho III is Israel’s first intercontinental ballistic missile. The short-range Jericho I and medium-range Jericho II preceded it. There is some evidence that it shares technology with the Shavit space launch vehicle. The Jericho has evolved over time, with the most recent version featuring a radar-guided warhead with a long range. It covers practically all of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.

The Jericho III can also reach much of Northern Oceania, as well as North and South America. This allows the Israel Defense Forces to launch a nuclear bomb at almost any point on Earth, giving them immense power. The Jericho III’s reentry rate is so fast that missile defense systems deployed on Earth cannot handle it. Its silos are also said to be impervious to many types of nuclear attacks.

5. UGM-133 Trident II

This submarine-launched ballistic missile, the UGM-133 Trident II, is manufactured by Lockheed Martin. It is used by the US and UK navies. It has been in service since 1990, with modifications that have provided it with a larger payload, longer range, and improved accuracy since its introduction. These improvements have made it one of the most effective first strike weapons. It takes off within seconds of receiving a sea-break signal and begins flying towards its target. The Trident II is made up of three solid-fuel rocket motors that operate in a predetermined sequence to propel the missile forward. The UGM-133 Trident II has a range of 4,230 nautical miles and can receive GPS updates via its MK 6 inertial navigation system. The missile has carried a variety of payloads and will receive a new warhead design for future engagements.

6. Tomahawk cruise missile

The Tomahawk was first deployed in 1984. Named after the Native American axe, it is a long-range subsonic cruise missile designed to attack well-defended or high-value land targets. It has a top speed of about 550 mph and a range of nearly 1,500 miles. Using guidance systems adapted to specific missions, the missile can be guided to perform evasive courses. The Tomahawk Land Attack Missile, is its official name. Both American and British submarines, as well as US Navy surface ships, have successfully launched it.

The Tomahawk has many different variants, each with its own features. The latest models can be reprogrammed in flight using satellite communications to program alternative targets or rerouted using GPS coordinates. It carries a nuclear warhead as well as additional bombs, depending on the variant.

7. DF-41

The DF-41 is the most lethal intercontinental ballistic missile that China has yet developed. In fact, it is one of the most lethal in the world. While its exact specifications are unknown, it is believed to have been put into service in 2016 or 2017. Its claimed range is 12,000 kilometers, allowing it to target all of Europe, Russia, and the United States in as little as 20 to 25 minutes. The DF-41 carries solid fuel as well as up to ten MIRVs (Multiple Independently Targetable Vehicles), increasing the vehicle's total power. China's own BeiDou satellite navigation system makes it even more accurate. The missile is transported to the launch site using a Tian HTF 5980 off-road vehicle, which has a special 16 X 16 meter wheeled chassis.

8. RS-28 Sarmat “Satan 2”

The RS-28 Sarmat, nicknamed “Satan II” by NATO, has no equivalent anywhere in the world and should make adversaries “think twice” before making threats against Russia. The warhead is capable of destroying targets flying between the North and South Poles. It was first shown on the Makeyev Rocket Design Bureau’s website in 2016. It will have a range of more than 6,800 miles and be capable of destroying parts of the Earth the size of France or Texas. This was confirmed by Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov to TASS, the Russian state news agency. The warhead is a successor to the R-36M Voyevoda, and its existence was revealed shortly after Moscow announced that its arms reduction agreement with the US had been suspended. The new Satan 2 missile replaces the SS-19 Satan, adding to fears of a world without nuclear weapons. First introduced by Putin in a 2018 state-of-the-nation address as the "next generation" of nuclear missile technology, the Sarmat missile is 116 feet (35.3 meters) long and weighs 220 tons (200 metric tons).

9. ICBM LGM-30 Minuteman III

The LGM-30 Minuteman III ICBM is part of the US strategic deterrent force – it is intended to prevent enemies from attacking the country. It is called ICBM because that is its primary function: The letter “L” is how the Department of Defense designates missiles 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 been in service since the late 1950s. Rapid response, inertial guidance, high reliability, high accuracy and the ability to identify targets at significant ranges are all features of these weapons. More than 450 Minuteman III missiles have been deployed in Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota as of 2015. Since the first Minuteman I missile was deployed in the 1960s, the missile series has been continuously modified and improved. These rockets, designed by Boeing, have a minimum of:

Three solid rocket motors with three ATK stages.
Three stages of chemical propulsion, including 203,158 pounds in the first stage, 60,793 pounds in the second stage, and 35,086 pounds in the third stage.
Range of more than 6,000 miles.
Speed ​​of about 15,000 mph

10. SS-N-30

On October 7, 2017, Russian warships launched 26 cruise missiles. They were deployed against Syrian opposition targets 1,000 kilometers away from the warships in the Caspian Sea. According to the Pentagon, even regular and well-trained observers of Russia and its military were surprised by these virtually unknown missiles. The SS-N-30A is a Russian land-attack cruise missile (LACM) and is an improved version of the 3M-14E “Club” LACM. The SS-N-30A has an estimated range of 1,500 to 2,500 kilometers and has become the mainstay of the Russian Navy’s land attack capabilities.

The missile launch is being seen as a sign to the rest of the world that Russia’s new SS-N-30 missile has established itself as one of the most advanced missiles in the world. The missiles hit 11 targets, including terrorist training camps, command centers, weapons, oil and ammunition depots as well as ammunition and explosives production sites, completing their mission.
