👉 Christian Missiles, also known as the "Christmas Bomb," was a nuclear-capable missile developed by the United States during the Cold War, first deployed in 1963. It was a unique weapon designed to be launched from a submarine and would have been capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to targets anywhere on the globe. The missile's name was inspired by the biblical story of the Magi bringing gifts to Jesus, symbolizing its intended use as a tool for global nuclear deterrence. However, due to its immense destructive power and the ethical concerns it raised, its deployment was never realized. The missile's existence underscored the intense nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union, highlighting the dangers of nuclear proliferation and the need for disarmament.
