What is a missile? In short, it is a controllable rocket. Rely on rocket engine to generate thrust; A weapon that relies on its guidance system to control the flight trajectory, so as to guide the warhead (also known as warhead) to the target and destroy the target.
Intercontinental ballistic missile
There are many kinds of missiles: for example, surface to surface missiles, surface to air missiles, air to air missiles, submarine to surface missiles; Such as anti tank missile, anti-ship missile, anti satellite missile... These can be understood literally.

What is a ballistic missile (D à nd à o d) ǎ Od à n)? The missile is designed to attack the target in advance. There is usually no fixed target according to the predetermined ballistic program.
Submarine Ballistic Missile
Ballistic missiles are characterized by vertical launch. This is to shorten the journey in the dense atmosphere, reduce atmospheric resistance and make most of the missiles fly in the thin atmosphere or outer atmosphere. from
The rocket engine itself carries oxidant and does not need oxygen in the atmosphere to support combustion.
After the rocket engine works, it falls off by itself and the active phase of trajectory ends. After that, the warhead enters the passive phase of the trajectory and continues to fly along the trajectory by relying on inertia until it reaches the target. Note that when the warhead re-enters the atmosphere, due to strong aerodynamic heating, corresponding thermal insulation technical measures must be taken for protection.

Ballistic missile classification
Ballistic missiles are divided into strategic ballistic missiles and tactical ballistic missiles according to operational use;
According to the launch point and target position, it is divided into surface to surface ballistic missile and submarine to surface ballistic missile;

Why can a ballistic missile fly along a predetermined trajectory? This is the credit of the missile control system. In the active phase, it initially flies vertically, and then turns according to a certain program. When it flies out of the atmosphere and reaches the predetermined speed and ballistic inclination, the program command will shut down the engine. After that, the missile began to fly freely in the passive phase, and finally entered the atmosphere and flew to the target. The control system continuously adjusts the flight attitude of the warhead according to the program, so that the actual trajectory of the missile can fit the expected standard trajectory within the allowable error range. (see schematic diagram)

Ballistic missiles can be divided into strategy and tactics, with great power. In particular, strategic ballistic missiles, equipped with single or multiple nuclear warheads, have a range of thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers and can aim at any region of the world. It can destroy each other's nuclear base, industrial base, large dam, summit Command Center... And pose a great threat to national security. In order to carry out defense, so-called anti ballistic missile missiles have been developed. Anti Ballistic Missile for short.
