SLBM

SLBM stands for Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile. It is a type of missile launched from a submarine that can travel long distances to deliver nuclear or conventional warheads. These missiles are hidden underwater, making them difficult to detect and providing a strategic advantage for a country's military defense. They are part of a nation's nuclear deterrent, ensuring that potential adversaries know that any attack could be met with a retaliatory strike. SLBMs combine the mobility of submarines with the reach of ballistic missiles, offering an effective and secure way to maintain nuclear deterrence.
