Trident II (D5)

The Trident II (D5) is a submarine-launched ballistic missile used by the U.S. and UK. It is a highly accurate, long-range weapon capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads. Launched from submarines underwater, it can travel thousands of miles to target areas with precision. Designed for deterrence, it ensures strategic stability by providing a secure second-strike capability, meaning it can retaliate even after a surprise attack. The D5 is known for its reliability, advanced guidance systems, and ability to remain hidden underwater, making it a key component of nuclear defense strategies.
