The RS-28 Sarmat is a Russian liquid-fueled, MIRV-equipped super-heavy intercontinental ballistic missile. Designed to replace the aging R-36M2, it represents Russia's most advanced strategic nuclear deterrent.
The DF-41 is China's most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile. A fourth-generation, solid-fueled, road-mobile ICBM capable of delivering up to 10 nuclear warheads to targets 15,000 km away.
The Trident II D5 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile that forms the sea-based leg of the US and UK nuclear triads. With a range of over 12,000 km and exceptional accuracy, it is the most reliable strategic missile ever deployed.
The Minuteman III is the sole land-based ICBM in the US nuclear arsenal. A three-stage, solid-fueled missile deployed in 400 hardened silos across three US states, it has been continuously upgraded for over 50 years.
The RS-24 Yars is a Russian MIRV-equipped intercontinental ballistic missile that forms the backbone of Russia's Strategic Rocket Forces. A solid-fueled, road-mobile system designed to evade missile defenses.
The M51.3 is the latest variant of France's submarine-launched ballistic missile. Deployed on Triomphant-class submarines, it ensures France's independent nuclear deterrent with improved range, accuracy, and penetration capability.
The Agni-V is India's longest-range ballistic missile, capable of striking targets 5,500+ km away. In 2024, it became India's first MIRV-capable missile with Mission Divyastra, placing all of China within range.
The Hwasong-17 is North Korea's largest intercontinental ballistic missile. A road-mobile, liquid-fueled ICBM capable of reaching the entire United States, it represents Pyongyang's most advanced nuclear delivery system.
The Topol-M is a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile and the first ICBM developed after the Soviet Union's dissolution. Available in both silo and road-mobile variants, it features advanced countermeasures against missile defenses.
The JL-2 is China's current submarine-launched ballistic missile deployed on Type 094 Jin-class submarines. It provides China with its first credible sea-based nuclear deterrent capability.
The Agni-P (Agni Prime) is India's newest medium-range ballistic missile. Smaller and lighter than predecessors, it offers improved accuracy, faster deployment, and canister-based road mobility.
The K-4 is India's intermediate-range submarine-launched ballistic missile deployed on Arihant-class nuclear submarines. With a 3,500 km range, it provides India's sea-based nuclear deterrent capability.
BrahMos is the world's fastest operational supersonic cruise missile, jointly developed by India and Russia. Capable of Mach 2.8-3.0 speed, it can be launched from land, sea, air, and submarines.
Pralay is India's first quasi-ballistic tactical missile. A solid-fueled, road-mobile system with 150-500 km range, it provides rapid precision strikes against time-critical targets.
Nirbhay is India's first indigenous long-range subsonic cruise missile. With a range of 1,000+ km, it provides India with conventional and nuclear-capable land-attack capability similar to American Tomahawk.
Akash-NG (New Generation) is India's advanced medium-range surface-to-air missile. With improved range, speed, and maneuverability over the original Akash, it provides modern air defense against aircraft and cruise missiles.
Astra Mk2 is India's advanced beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. With a range of 160+ km, it provides Indian fighters with long-range aerial combat capability matching the best Western missiles.
Rudram-1 is India's first indigenous anti-radiation missile. Designed to destroy enemy radars and air defense systems, it provides the Indian Air Force with Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) capability.
MR-SAM (Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile), based on Israeli Barak 8 technology, is a naval and land-based air defense system jointly developed by India and Israel. It provides layered defense against aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, and missiles.
