warhead

The weapon carries a 200-kiloton nuclear warhead; by comparison, the bomb that destroyed Nagasaki was a mere 21 kilotons.

It was a simple weapon, cheap to build, and carried a half-ton explosive warhead.

As the missile closes on its target the warhead explodes before the missile strikes the airplane.

In this way the missile does not need pinpoint accuracy: widely spread supersonic shrapnel from the warhead is deadly.

Optionally, it can live up to its description by crashing into targets and detonating a five-pound warhead.

But they would have to hurry if they were to get all their supplies and gear moved from Bandit before the warhead struck.

While he weighed the problem, one part of his mind told him a warhead was scorching down from the sides.

Thus, a warhead loaded with the material has an indefinite shelf-life.

Any indication down there of any power planning to start a war, and we'll send our own atomic warhead rockets down.
