ICBMs are ground-launched ballistic missiles capable of traveling long distances and penetrating heavily defended areas.
But those can resemble ICBMs and take up valuable space in the rental car.

The Soviet Union deployed 1, 547 ICBMs with a like number of independently targetable warheads.

Verification: U.S. intelligence has found that the mobile Soviet ICBMs cannot be effectively verified with high confidence.
In 1972, the United States deployed 1, 054 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) carrying fewer than 1, 500 independently targetable warheads.

After the US helped Russia dismantle obsolete ICBMs, Moscow replaced some of them with the advanced SS-27 Topol-M.
No global blackouts, no old Soviet ICBMs racing over the North Pole, no collapse of civilization as we know it.
Neither will anything short of a general ban on both MIRVed and single-warhead mobile ICBMs be verifiable in a START agreement.
According to the Deutch memo, the idea would be to modify somewhere between 20-50 Minuteman III ICBMs to carry an exoatmospheric-kill vehicle.
Each Party further shall not convert and shall not use launchers of missile defense interceptors for placement of ICBMs and SLBMs therein.
Nikolai Solovtsov, chief of the Strategic Rocket Forces, told a Russian press agency that the exercise will involve launches of "several" intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
Yet the U.S. has long sought to move away from MIRVed ICBMs as part of START, because heavy MIRVing can make each ICBM a more tempting target.
Across the board, every major leg of our triad from B-52s to F-15s and F-16s to our SSBNs and ICBMs is in need of replacement or significant modernization.
The bulk of our deterrent was in our silo-based ICBMs, and they were crucial to us because of their unique accuracy and reliable communications, and because, unlike the bomber force, the Soviets had no defenses against them.
To achieve these reductions, the Peacekeeper ICBMs have been retired, the Navy has removed four Trident submarines from strategic service and the B-1 bomber is now used for conventional weapons only and will not retain its capability to return to a nuclear role.
In the weeks leading up to this summit, it also has been openly stated that Moscow would like the number of deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched missiles (SLBMS), and strategic bombers to be reduced "several times" below the current limit of 1, 600.
As the United States has no idea how many SS-18 missiles the Russians actually have in their inventory, even the monitored destruction of all "declared" heavy ICBMs may leave Moscow in a position to utilize these silos in the future to launch SS-18s.
