2) strike targets far away

Explanation:

The war is a terrible thing, and there were numerous weapons that were able to create enormous damage and destroy whole areas and everyone in them. The technology though continued to advance, and one oft he things it produced were the intercontinental ballistic missiles. These missiles changed lot of things, with the fear factor skyrocketing. The reason why these missiles changed the whole ''game'' was that they were able to hit targets that were far away. Unlike the missiles created before them, that only managed to hit targets nearby, the intercontinental ballistic missiles were able to hit targets thousands of kilometers away. This made it possible for the countries that possessed them to launch them from their own territories and hit pretty much every place on the planet, which raised a lot of concerns and fear around the globe.
