About This Trend
ICBM stands for intercontinental ballistic missile, a type of ballistic missile with a range exceeding 5,500 kilometres, primarily designed for delivering nuclear weapons.
ICBM is currently trending due to recent discussions about the Sentinel ICBM program, including delays in its first flight and its role in modern nuclear deterrence strategies. Additionally, geopolitical concerns about countries like Iran and China developing or expanding their ICBM capabilities have heightened attention on this topic.
