While the United States phased out the use of MIRVs in ICBMs in 2014 to comply with New START, [10] Russia continues to develop new ICBM designs using the technology. [11] The introduction of MIRV led to a major change in the strategic balance.

The R-36 (Russian: Р-36) is a family of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and space launch vehicles (Tsyklon) designed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The original R-36 was deployed under the GRAU index 8K67 and was given the NATO reporting name SS-9 Scarp.

2014年6月27日 · The United States last week finished removing the last MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) from its Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs); these missiles will now each carry a single warhead.

2010年6月1日 · As MIRVed ICBMs proliferated, Oppenheimer’s scorpions-in-a-bottle metaphor moved closer to reality, for two reasons: Capability. Stacking multiple warheads on each missile dramatically increased each ICBM’s firepower and its usefulness in mounting a disarming counterforce strike.

The LGM-118 Peacekeeper, originally known as the MX for "Missile, Experimental", was a MIRV -capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) produced and deployed by the United States from 1986 to 2005.

2014年6月16日 · One of the premises of this agreement was banning the use of multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV) on Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. This treaty was often referred to as the De-MIRV-ing Agreement.

MIRV, any of several nuclear warheads carried on the front end, or “bus,” of a ballistic missile. Each MIRV allows separately targeted nuclear warheads to be sent on their independent ways after the main propulsion stages of the missile launch have shut down.

Today, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France use MIRV technology on SLBMs. China has MIRVed ICBMs, while Russia deploys both MIRVed ICBMs and SLBMs. The use of MIRVs on submarines is considered less destabilizing than on land-based missiles because the difficulty of finding nuclear submarines makes strikes against them unlikely.

2017年8月28日 · Multiple Independently-targetable Reentry Vehicles (MIRVs) were originally developed in the early 1960s to permit a missile to deliver multiple nuclear warheads to different targets. In contrast to a traditional missile, which carries …
