You talk as if only US has monopoly on such ICBMs. Even China has them and FYI, Russia developed the first ICBM Nuclear missile (The R-7), and the US has been playing catch up with Russia on missile technology since then.

Btw, the Bulava is the Russian equivalent of the Trident and Russia has for long gone even beyond that. Russia now has TOPOL-M ICBM missile for which US has no equivalent - not even for the next decade as forecasted by defense analysts. It is considered the fastest and most advanced ICBM in the world with a speed of 26,000KM/H. It has multiple "Intelligent" warheads built to evade any missile defense system.

The Bulava (SS-NX-30) Nuclear ICBM submarine-launched

None of this missiles are capable of what the trident can do.
The trident is a submarine missile system that fires over 250 nuclear missiles continously for 24 hours.
That is continental level destruction.

I just pray another world war doesn't break out, 'cos if such thing happens and nukes are 2 be deployed in fighting this "war", the earth itself has -0.00001 chances of surviving the assault, not to talk of we bio-organisms. I see no reason why US and russia wish to create mega weapons they wouldn't use just because they wish to intimidate each other

That part, my friend is just absolute fantasy. A missile that lasts for even 2 hours in flight risks being shot down. The Trident is just a submarine-launched nuclear ballistic missile (SLBM) equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV) and currently carries 4-5 475kt warheads, so is the Bulava which even carries more war heads than the Trident. Bulava carries upto 10 150kt multiple war heads . No single missile, Trident, Bulava or Topol-M has the power of inflicting destruction of continental proportion. That "honor" goes to the Russia's R36-M (code named SS-18 Satan by Nato). By ranking, it is the most destructive Nuclear missile in the world and it carries atleast 10 750kt multiple warheads. The Satan missile is seconded not even by a US's missille, but by Chinese's Dong Feng 5. The Trident comes 3rd, Bulava 4th , then Topol-M.

With the progress made by many countries in the area of air/space missile defense technology, all those missiles, except for Topol-M can easily be shot down while still on flight. Topol-M is a 5th generation MIRV equipped with up to 6 800kt warheads with multiple decoys, each independent war head is designed to "think", maneuver, evade, and penetrate even the most sophisticated missile defense system. With a speed of 26,000km/h it remains the fastest missile in the world. You see in reality, the Trident missile does in no way give US an upper hand over Russia when it comes to continental destruction capability. If you really like knowing what "continental level destruction" really is, perhaps you should check out why US/Nato did named Russia's R36-M ICBM the SATAN.

well done bro, continue to educate these folks.

people believe so much in u.s propaganda, well of cause they have the media. for the first time I am hearing of a Chinese missile dong feng ... all these guys don't have the media to spread propaganda like the u.s does, but most people would be shocked if other countries starts showcasing their military arsenal.
