Deployment: a total of 240 warheads carried by M45 missiles, each with up to six MIRV warheads. |

Now, as a result of the cruise missile and MIRV, heresy has become orthodoxy. |
|
In the late 1960s the United States introduced the MIRV, the multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicles, and the Soviets soon followed suit. |
|
In parallel to the MIRV project, the acquisition of AWACS-type surveillance aircraft has been placed high on the list of priorities for China's PLA, as part of its modernisation drive. |
|
Poseidon offered a massive MIRV capability of up to 14 warheads per missile. |
|
Each MIRV allows separately targeted nuclear warheads to be sent on their independent ways after the main propulsion stages of the missile launch have shut down. |
|
Another is MIRV technology that could be fitted to the Agni missiles. |
|
It is equipped with the MIRV capabilities, which means the missile carries a number of independently targetable warheads capable of penetrating any missile-defence system. |
|
Hidden deep within her massive pressure hull are 24 Trident II D5 MIRV missiles, each capable of bringing multiple targets under accurate nuclear attack. |
