👉 Attorneys' missiles, also known as "strategic nuclear weapons," are a concept in international relations and military strategy referring to a system of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of delivering nuclear payloads with high precision and speed. These missiles are designed to counter potential nuclear attacks by ensuring a rapid and devastating response, often referred to as a "first-strike" capability. In theory, an attacker could launch a missile at any time, and the retaliating state would have enough time to deploy its own missiles to neutralize the threat, thus maintaining a balance of power known as mutual assured destruction (MAD). However, in practice, the deployment and use of such weapons are highly controversial due to their potential for catastrophic global consequences.
