United States United States

Active

  • Minuteman III (LGM-30G): launched from silo—as of May 2009, there are 450 Minuteman III missiles in active inventory
  • Trident (UGM-93A/B) SLBM: Trident II (D5) was first deployed in 1990 and is planned to be deployed past 2020 (11,300 kilometres (7,000 mi) range).

Inactive

  • Atlas (SM-65, CGM-16): Former ICBM launched from silo, the rocket was modified and used in 1962-1963 for four manned Mercury-Atlas flights, and was used, along with the Agena or Centaur upper stages, as a medium-lift satellite and interplanetary probe launcher for NASA and the USAF. Original design, with "balloon tanks" and "1.5 staging," has since been retired and replaced with the Atlas V, which has an internal structure similar to the Titan ICBM, but using conventional propellants.
  • Titan I (SM-68, HGM-25A): Based in underground launch complexes. Used LOX/RP-1 propellants like Atlas, but stored in conventional tanks.
  • Titan II (SM-68B, LGM-25C): Former hypergolic-fueled ICBM launched from silo, the rocket was used in 1965-1966 for ten manned Gemini flights and its two-stage core was modified into the heavy-lifting Titan III and Titan IV rockets. All Titan II, III, and IV models have since been retired.
  • Minuteman I (SM-80, LGM-30A/B, HSM-80)
  • Minuteman II (LGM-30F)
  • LGM-118 Peacekeeper / MX (LGM-118A): silo-based, with rail basing tested; decommissioned in May 2006
  • Midgetman: road mobile launcher; has never been operational, cancelled in 1992

DF (Dong Feng or East Wind) are land-based ICBMs.
  • DF-4 (CSS-3):
1975, silo-based, 5,500-7,000 km
  • DF-5 and 5A (CSS-4):
silo based, (1981) 13,000- (1983) 15,000 km
  • DF-31 (CSS-9):
2006, road mobile, 7,250-8,000 km range.
  • DF-31A:
2007, road-mobile, 11,270 km, MIRV - 3
  • DF-41 (CSS-X-10):
2010, road-mobile, 10,000-12,000 km,MIRV - upto 10

United Kingdom United Kingdom

The United Kingdom only deploys United States constructed submarine launched ICBMs. The UK contributes towards the development of the U.S. constructed missiles which it uses and develops its own warheads.
  • Trident II (D5): SLBM currently used by the Royal Navy and planned to be deployed until the 2050s.

France France

France only deploys submarine launched ICBMs, with all land based ones decommissioned
  • M45: In service.
  • M51.1: In service.
  • M51.2: Expected to enter service in 2015.

India India

  • Agni-V: Tested in 2012 it is a road and rail mobile missile with a range of 5,500-5,800 km.and is expected to enter service in 2014-15
  • Agni-VI: (6,000-10,000 km) [Speculated]
  • Surya: (10,000-16,000 km) [Speculated]

Under Development

North Korea North Korea

North Korea currently does not have any ICBM in its inventory.
  • Taepodong-2 (4,000–6,700 km range)

Suspect States

Israel Israel

  • Jericho III is a road mobile ICBM which entered service in 2008 believed to carry nuclear warheads. The Jericho III is believed to be a three-stage solid propellant missile with a payload of 1,000 to 1,300 kg. It is possible for the missile to be equipped with a single 750 kg nuclear warhead or MIRV warheads. It has an estimated launch weight of 30,000 kg and a length of 15.5 m with a width of 1.56 m. It may be similar to an upgraded and re-designed Shavit satellite launch vehicle, produced by Israel Aerospace Industries with longer first and second-stage motors. It is estimated that it has a range of 4,800 to 11,500 km (2,982 to 7,180 miles).In November 2011, Israel successfully test fired an ICBM believed to be an upgraded version of the Jericho III.
