The Emad is Iran's first precision-guided ballistic missile — a Ghadr airframe with a maneuvering reentry vehicle, ~1,700 km range. It has flown in every True Promise salvo against Israel since April 2024, and the 2026 war gutted the launcher force and factories that field it.
The KN-25 is North Korea's 600mm "super-large" rocket launcher — the world's biggest-caliber guided rocket artillery, a rocket/ballistic-missile hybrid reaching 380 km, nuclear-tasked and mass-produced. Despite two years of reports, no transfer to Russia has ever been confirmed.
The cruise missile that killed the INF Treaty — a ground-launched, nuclear-capable weapon the US says flies far past the 500 km the treaty banned, and Russia insists stays just under it. The arms-control dispute became its legacy; its reported 2025 combat use in Ukraine is its grim sequel.
Russia’s ship- and coast-launched scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missile — a carrier-killer with nuclear capability, used sparingly against Ukraine since 2024.
The U.S. Air Force's flying-wing stealth bomber — the world's only operational stealth bomber, sole carrier of the 30,000-lb GBU-57/B bunker buster, and the tip of the conventional and nuclear penetrating-strike spear.
North Korea's solid-fuel quasi-ballistic short-range missile — an Iskander lookalike manufactured at the February 11 Plant, transferred to Russia, and combat-proven in Ukraine with evolving accuracy.
Russia's air-launched aeroballistic missile, marketed as a hypersonic "Dagger" and carried by modified MiG-31K interceptors — a weapon whose "uninterceptable" myth was punctured when a Patriot battery shot one down over Kyiv.
Russia's primary road-mobile short-range ballistic missile — nuclear-capable, maneuvering, and the workhorse of its deep-strike campaign in Ukraine.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is the United States Air Force's longest-serving strategic heavy bomber — a subsonic, eight-engine platform that has carried both nuclear and conventional payloads on every major American air campaign since Vietnam and is now slated to fly into the 2050s via the.
Russia's Mach-2-capable strategic heavy bomber and standoff cruise-missile carrier — the largest and fastest supersonic aircraft ever fielded, modernized with new-build Tu-160M aircraft entering service despite aging fleet challenges.
