Xagrurg has 250 nuclear inter-continental ballistic missiles classified as “M91-L” with 10 MIRV warheads with a 475kt payload with an operational range of 11,000 kilometers (entered service in 1990; last modernized in the late 2000s/early 2010s for superior targeting and accuracy systems to maximize blast damage)[[https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/france/m-5.htm]], 43 tactical nuclear bombs classified as “M91-B” with a 25kt payload (introduced in 1992) [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B90_nuclear_bomb]], and 7 submarine-launched ballistic missiles currently active classified as “M91-S” with 6 MIRV warheads and a 150kt payload (introduced in 1993; variant of M91 missile; modernized in late 2000s with improved targeting/accuracy systems) [[https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/france/m-5.htm]], their locations unknown in order to keep the element of surprise. L, N, and S designations stand for “land”, “bomber”, and “submarine” respectively. However, following the Auroran-Pacific War and continued controversy over the tactical effectiveness of free-fall unguided nuclear bombs since their introduction in 1992, plans are being made to replace the M91-B with the M91-B1, a nuclear air-to-surface cruise missile armed with a single warhead of a payload of 300kt that can mounted on fighter, strike, and bomber aircraft with a planned operational range of 3,000 kilometers and hypersonic speeds of Mach 7-8 to penetrate into highly defended airspace and evade SAM and ABM defenses, expected to enter into deployment by 2023 and fully replace all 43 tactical nuclear bombs by 2027, with an additional acquisition order of 47 more and completed by 2030.[[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-Sol_Moyenne_Portée]] Overall, the Republic of Xagrurg possesses a total of 2,585 nuclear warheads as of October 2019. Prior to the deployment of the M91-series ICBM in 1990, the missile series that preceded it would be the M81, introduced in 1970. Over 450 M81 ICBMs would be constructed by the outbreak of the Auroran-Imperial War, and another 350 more by 1990. Most of the M81-series would be deactivated by 2010, with 100 in currently in storage and awaiting dismantlement, though 55 would be in the possession of Assowolf after intense negotiations and diplomatic activity during the mid-1990s.
