Weaponry is pretty cool, from handheld firepower to automobile mounted artillery. When it comes to military reinforcement, there's a huge array of options to choose from. However, sometimes things need to be stepped up a little bit. The need for a, how do we say this, broader weapon is sometimes a requirement. That's where the good old missiles come into play. Defined by the dictionary as, any self-propelled precision guided munition system, and more commonly referred to as a rocket, these badass boomers do everything from providing air, land, and sea support. Today, let's take a look at the top 7 deadliest missiles. Number seven, the DF-31. The DF-31, or more commonly referred to as the Dongfang 33, kicks things off with a literal bang. In service since 2006, it literally translates to East Wind 31, an indication of how gusty this long-range, road-mobile, three-stage, intercontinental ballistic missile really is. Developed by the People's Republic of China and operated by the 2nd Artillery Corps, it's part of the Dongfang Missile Series and part of a small amount of missiles in their inventory. Weighing in at 42 tons, 13 meters long, and two and a quarter meters in diameter, it operates at a range of 7,200 to 8,000 kilometers and boasts an intimidating thermonuclear weapon inside. It doesn't just stop there, though. The PRC has developed the DF-31A and the DF-31B to be improved variants of this already sweat-inducing killing machine. Number six, the RS-24. Also known as the RT-24Yars and even the Topol-MR, this Russian-made missile ramps things up a bit. Produced in and in service since 2010, this 50,000-kilogram bad boy is a MIRV-equipped thermonuclear intercontinental ballistic missile that's ready and prepared to go. First tested in 2007, the findings were published in response to the missile shield that US armed forces plan to deploy in Europe. Replacing the older R-36 and UR-100N missiles that were used for over half a century, the RS-24 has a 150 to 250 meter accuracy range and can reach speeds that exceed Mach 20. In case you're wondering, that's absurdly fast, and at 21 meters long and two meters in diameter, it's no wonder it's viewed so formidably. Number five, the LGM-30. The LGM-30 Minuteman is an American-made land-based intercontinental ballistic missile that carries the specific honor of being the only land-based ICBM in service with the Air Force Global Strike Command as of 2016. First developed as far back as the mid-1950s, the US was looking to expand their capability to launch a return strike as quickly as possible. Since US missile designs at the time required a lengthy fueling procedure prior to launch, leaving them vulnerable to surprise attacks. Much like its name implies, this $7 million rocket is ready to go at a minute's notice, and being that it can reach altitudes of over 1,100 kilometers and reach Mach 23 speeds, it certainly deserves a place on today's countdown. Number four, the RSM-56. If there's one thing Russians know well, it's how to make a great weapon. Proving that theory correct comes the Bulava, but this missile doesn't shoot in the sky, it's water-based. Developed just recently in 2013, this submarine launched ballistic missile, or SLBM, was developed for the Russian Navy and deployed as part of the Borei class, a cornerstone of the most expensive weapons projects in the entire country. Weighing 37 tons and carrying six warheads, it operates like its Russian title suggests, like a mace. Sporting a three-stage solid-fuel and liquid-propellant rocket, it has an operational range of up to 8,300 kilometers and an astonishing accuracy of about 350 meters. In other words, don't piss this thing off. Number three, the UGM-133. More commonly referred to as the Trident II, or even the Trident D5 sometimes, this submarine-launched ballistic missile is another American-based explosion maker that's been produced since 1983. Going into active service just seven years later, it's used by both the American and British navies, making it an unusual addition to the list. Powered by three solid-fuel rocket motors, a nitrate-ester propellant, and polyethylene glycol, this bad boy has an operational range of over 7,456 miles, or 12,000 kilometers, and a 90-meter accuracy range thanks to the MK-6 Astro Inertial Guidance System, which is a literal GPS system inside. Because of its increased payload, it cuts down on the number of needed submarines, which is pretty damn cool. Number two, the DF-5. We kicked off today's compilation with another member of the Dongfang family, but the DF-5 is an entirely different beast than the aforementioned DF-31. Weighing 183 tons, measuring at 33 meters long and almost three and a half meters around, this three-stage intercontinental ballistic missile is another one of China's crazy contraptions. First operational ten years after taking its initial flight in 1971, it was designed under the leadership of the China Academy of Launch Technology. Blasting from a silo, it features inertial and onboard computers to help guide it while it attacks in an operational range of 12,000 to 15,000 kilometers at a speed of Mach 22. Let's just hope we never have to see this thing in action. Number one, the R-36. This Soviet-built family of intercontinental ballistic missiles and even space launch vehicles is a pride and joy for its mother, Russia, and without having to dig too far into it, it's easy to see why. Used by the Soviet and Russian strategic rocket forces since 1974, there were 308 launch silos capable of shooting these badasses at the time of the Soviet Union's fall in 1991. Although the number has decreased over time, they're still viewed as some of the most powerful weapons there are. In fact, NATO nicknamed the SS-18 Satan due to its strength. Although there's plans to retire the remainder of the missiles by the year 2019, the R-36 is feared and subsequently admired by many. Thanks for watching Interesting Top 7s.
