👉 The European weapon, often referred to as the "European Ballistic Missile," is a term used to describe a class of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) developed and deployed by several European nations, including France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, among others. These missiles are designed to deliver nuclear payloads over long distances, typically exceeding 5,000 kilometers, making them a significant strategic deterrent during the Cold War and beyond. The European weapon systems often feature advanced guidance technologies, such as multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), which allow a single missile to carry multiple nuclear warheads, enhancing their destructive potential. These systems are integrated into national defense strategies, contributing to the overall security architecture of Europe and its allies.
