While slowly retiring multiple warhead land based nuclear missiles, it was building up single warhead missiles.

In these launching silos there were 104 intercontinental ballistic missiles, each of which was equipped with a nuclear warhead.

The Russian Federation was developing a new manoeuvrable warhead capable of avoiding missile defences and continued to manufacture single warhead silo launched missiles, with the deployment of a road mobile multiple warhead variant scheduled for 2006.

Just three years ago, this missile force comprised 50 ICBMs, each capable of carrying 10 nuclear warheads.

One more key element promoting this trend is the ABM Treaty.

51. The current United States ballistic missile defence programme consists of theater missile defence (TMD), national missile defence (NMD) and advanced ballistic missile defence technologies.

Degradation products of VX were found on missile warhead fragments by one national laboratory.

Professor, is that the antimissile missile?

Development of a new generation ICBM, capable of carrying up to 10 warheads, was reportedly under way, while a nuclear variant of a new bomber carried cruise missile might be deployed in 2005, and a new submarine launched missile would be deployed on two submarines under construction.

7. Further recognizes that, in the same time period, the Russian Federation has reduced the number of its START accountable deployed strategic warheads to less than 5,000, and has also eliminated 1,250 launchers for intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine launched ballistic missiles, 43 ballistic missile submarines and 65 heavy bombers

(v) Aerial delivered Bombs Sub munitions,

Various reports suggest that China is selectively enhancing its strategic and tactical missile capabilities by developing solid fuel motors diversifying its range of warheads and increasing their accuracy deploying missiles with multiple warheads and upgrading its ballistic missile defense countermeasures, such as decoys, chaff, jamming, and thermal shielding, and possibly maneuverable reentry vehicles (MaRVs) and multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs).

The weapons included 25 special warheads for Al Hussein missiles and 157 R 400 aerial bombs, filled with biological warfare agents.

(ii) Any other weapon or destructive device such as any explosive, incendiary or gas bomb, grenade, rocket, rocket launcher, missile, missile system or mine

6. Also recognizes that, since the end of the cold war, the United States of America has reduced the number of its START accountable deployed strategic warheads from over 10,000 to less than 6,000, and has also eliminated 1,032 launchers for intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine launched ballistic missiles, 350 heavy bombers and 28 ballistic missile submarines, and removed 4 additional ballistic missile submarines from strategic service

(a) Authentication of warheads and components to establish that an item declared to be a nuclear warhead or a component from a nuclear warhead is consistent with those declarations

With respect to weaponization, Iraq declared that warheads for Al Hussein missiles and R 400 aerial bombs had been filled with liquid biological warfare agents.

The following additional procedures for sampling and analysis were introduced by UNMOVIC in the light of this experience

(v) Guided Missiles

In particular, China is developing, testing, and deploying a new generation of solid propellant, road mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). These include the DF 31 and DF 31A, which are equipped with nuclear payloads.

APACHE missiles carrying KRISS runway penetrating bombs.

They also track the missile and determine its trajectory.

It will be important to study and catalogue missile plume signatures and other characteristics in order to identify and track the missiles.

These radars were part of the ballistic missile early warning system of the US, used for monitoring Soviet missiles.

With regard to Al Hussein missile warheads filled with biological warfare agents and later unilaterally destroyed by Iraq, in 1992 inspectors verified the number of fragments which Iraq declared to have been from chemical warheads.

In 1998, UNSCOM decided to re examine through sampling and analysis unilaterally destroyed special warheads for Al Hussein missiles.

This issue was important for all three verification areas, missile, chemical and biological, since it was linked to the determination of the total number of special missile warheads destroyed and their types and composition.

As for its ballistic missile submarine force, it was currently working to replace the experimental missile with a more reliable, medium range missile and was developing a new submarine.

China was currently replacing its 20 silo based long range missiles with a longer range variant and was developing a new mobile intermediate range intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which could be deployed by the end of the decade, as well as a longer range variant.
