MIRV

A mirv is like a bunch of rockets stuck together that can break apart and go in different directions. Imagine you have a bunch of straws that you stack together, but each of the straws can come apart and shoot their own rocket out. This is what a mirv is like. It's used to launch multiple missiles at once and hit different targets at the same time. It's like throwing a bunch of balls at different targets all at once instead of throwing them one by one. This makes it easier to hit multiple targets quickly and efficiently. However, it can also be very dangerous since it means a lot of rockets can be fired at once.
