a new ICBM/SLBM is being reaserched in Lima Beens with a 20,000 kilometer range, it will break up to 10 MRIVs each with a 250 kiloton nuclear warhead, (even though we dont have nukes) . It is expected to be done in 5.25 years.

Slight corection it's Multiple Independently Retargetable Vehicles. So each missile will carry 25 MIRVs all with a potential 250kt warhead....okay.

not really. If its 10 meters high two meters wide, and eash MRIV is 1.5 cubic meters, it works.

So your rocket doesn't have to carry fuel, stages, boosters, guidance equipment etc?

Not to mention the re-entry shroud.
