the top 3 longest range missiles in the world.
Number 3. Hwasong 15.
Origin. North Korea.
Range. Estimated at 13 thousand kilometers.
Its successful test flight in 2017 demonstrated the regime’s ability to potentially target the continental United States. This development also drastically altered the security landscape in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
Number 2. LGM 30 Minuteman 3.
Origin. United States.
Range. Approximately 14 thousand kilometers.
The Minuteman 3 is a stalwart of the United States’ nuclear arsenal. While it has been in service for decades, it has undergone significant upgrades to maintain its status as a reliable and precise ICBM. Its range and multiple warheads make it a formidable deterrent.
Number 1. RS 28 Sarmat.
Origin. Russia.
Range. Estimated at 18 thousand kilometers.
The RS-28 Sarmat is the longest range missile in the world. Its vast range, coupled with a high payload capacity, makes it capable of carrying multiple warheads. This missile’s ability to evade defenses and strike distant targets solidifies its role in Russia’s nuclear triad.
