Topol-M launch from silo Minuteman III launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, United States of America on 9 February 2023.. An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is a ballistic missile with a range greater than 5,500 kilometres (3,400 mi), [1] primarily designed for nuclear weapons delivery (delivering one or more thermonuclear warheads).
The missile officially entered operational service in September 2023, as the world's longest range and most powerful extant ICBM system. [18] Despite the Russian claims that the missile is on 'combat alert', since its 2022 flight test, it has experienced four failed tests, the most recent on 21 September 2024.
Japanese data shows the ICBM flew for 86 minutes with about 1,000 km (620 mi) range and over 7,000 km (4,300 mi) apogee, landing 200 km (120 mi) west of Okushiri Island, Hokkaido, Japan.
