 | | An intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is a very long-range (greater than 5,500 km or 3,500 miles) ballistic missile typically designed for nuclear weapons delivery, that is, delivering one or more nuclear warheads. |
 | | Nations such as France [1], and the United Kingdom have IRBM missile systems with a shorter range and are usually submarine launched. |
 | | North Korea is believed to be developing an ICBM [2]; two tests of somewhat different developmental missiles in 1998 and 2006 were not fully successful. |
