195Two Ways To Launch A Nuclear Missile
The two primary methods of launching missiles are classified as "cold launch," and "hot launch." Like the US Minuteman III ICBM is a hot-launch system, which allows for a faster response time, because the ignition of its engines occurs within the boundaries of the silo, and in order to facilitate the loading of a new missile, it is required to first undertake the necessary repairs on the silo, which is a lengthy undertaking, but unlike Amazon, the Minuteman promises same-day delivery across the globe. Fun fact, the Minuteman was constructed with the understanding that there would not be an opportunity for a second launch. Conversely, the Russian R-36 ICBM utilizes the cold launch method. The missile is housed in a containment unit located within the silo. During the initiation phase, the missile is expelled from the silo by a piston mechanism propelled by the force generated by a black powder charge. The ignition of the missile's engines occurs upon its departure from the silo. This implies that the silo remains undamaged during the launch, unlike in a hot launch scenario. It is feasible that the empty container can be swiftly removed and replaced with a freshly loaded container within a brief timeframe.
