Nuclear Warheads

Nuclear warheads are powerful explosive devices that release enormous energy through nuclear reactions—either fission (splitting atoms) or fusion (combining atoms). When detonated, they produce a massive explosion, intense heat, and radiation, causing widespread destruction and long-term environmental damage. They are typically mounted on missiles, bombs, or submarines and are considered advanced weapons of mass destruction. Due to their destructive potential, nuclear warheads are subject to international treaties aiming to control proliferation and promote disarmament, reflecting their grave implications for global security and human survival.
