The DF-5 had its first flight in 1971 and was in operational service 10 years later. One of the downsides of the missile was that it took between 30 and 60 minutes to fuel. The Dong Feng 31 (a.k.a. CSS-10) is a medium-range, three-stage, solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile, and is a land-based variant of the submarine-launched JL-2.
Gyroscope development has culminated in the AIRS found on the MX missile, allowing for an accuracy of less than 100 m at intercontinental ranges. Many civilian aircraft use inertial guidance using a ring laser gyroscope, which is less accurate than the mechanical systems found in ICBMs, but which provide an inexpensive means of attaining a ...
The US military said the Russian missile’s design was based on the design of the RS-26 Rubezh intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). According to the Arms Control Association, the RS-26 has ...

The R-7 Semyorka was the first intercontinental ballistic missile. [4] The largest ballistic missile attack in history took place on 1 October 2024 when the Iranian Revolutionary Guard launched about 200 missiles at Israel, [5] a distance of about 1,500 kilometers. [6] [7] [8] The missiles arrived about 15 minutes after launch. [9]
The showy test of an intercontinental ballistic missile is part of the vast and advanced missile force China is building to threaten neighbors and negate the US military's edge in the air and at sea.
