24. A nuclear arm needs two items to be efficient – a warhead and a delivery devise. Common delivery devises for nuclear warheads are ballistic missiles. These ballistic missiles can be launched from silos, aircraft and submarines.

26. Today's ICBMs reportedly can strike within a few hundred feet of their targets after traveling thousands of miles through space. Such accuracy makes it possible to use a less powerful warhead, yet still be assured of destroying a target. A single missile can also carry multiple warheads, each aimed at a different target. A Minuteman III could have 3 nuclear warheads, as shown here; the Peacekeeper MX had 10.
