ICBM missilies, also known as, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles, were used by the soviets in the Cold War as long ranged rockets. They were first used in the early 1960s and late 1950s. The US successfully launched its first ICBM on December 17, 1957. ICBM's are used mainly for nuclear weapons delivery and are still used today.
