👉 Balance missiles, also known as SLBMs (Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missiles), are a type of nuclear missile designed to operate from submarines, providing a stealthy and survivable second-strike capability. Unlike land-based missiles, they are launched from underwater, making them difficult to detect and intercept by enemy air defenses. Equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), balance missiles can carry several nuclear warheads, enhancing their strategic value by ensuring that a single missile launch can still deliver a devastating retaliatory strike even after a significant portion has been neutralized. This capability is crucial for maintaining strategic deterrence and ensuring national security in nuclear-armed states.
