What will happen if air defence hits a nuke ?
If an air defense system hits a nuclear missile , what happens depends heavily on several factors, particularly: 🚀 What Kind of Nuclear Missile It Is There are generally two main types: Ballistic Missiles (ICBM, MRBM, SRBM) : Travel through space and re-enter the atmosphere. Cruise Missiles : Fly low and slow like airplanes. 🔥 What Happens If It's Intercepted? 1. If intercepted before the nuclear warhead arms: No nuclear explosion. The warhead is designed not to detonate unless all arming and fuzing sequences are complete. Likely outcome: the missile is destroyed, and conventional explosion or debris falls (can still be dangerous). The nuclear material may scatter but would not go off like a bomb. 2. If intercepted after arming or very close to target: Still extremely unlikely to cause a nuclear detonation . Nuclear warheads require precise conditions to detonate (compression, timing, etc.). A conventional explosion might scatter radioactiv...
