ICBM - Intercontinental Ballistic Missile

Japanese: ICBM - アイシービーエム(英語表記)intercontinental ballistic missile
ICBM - Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
Intercontinental ballistic missile. A land-launched strategic ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead and a range of 5,600 km or more. It is launched to high altitude (maximum altitude 1,500-3,500 km) by rocket engine and travels along a dynamically determined trajectory to reach its destination. It takes about 30 minutes. The former Soviet Union (Russia) was the first to develop ICBMs, successfully test-firing a partial range in 1957, and deployed them the following year in 1958. The United States deployed them in 1959, and China about 20 years later. In addition to these three countries, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) also deploys ICBMs. There is the SLBM (Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile), a missile that can carry strategic nuclear weapons and has a range comparable to that of an ICBM.
