SRBM- Short Range Ballistic Missiles (0 - 1,000 km)
MRBM- Medium Range Ballistic Missile (1,000 - 2,500 km)
IRBM- Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (2,500 - 3,500 km)
LR-ICBM- Limited Range Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (3,500 - 8,000 km)
FR-ICBM- Full Range Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (8,000 - 12,000 km)
(6) The suggested range performance for this system seems to far exceeds what is technically feasible.
(7) As of this writing, there is no indication that such new long term development
exists, but this does not mean that it will not appear in the future. Only the United States, Russia and China have
missiles with this range capability.
(?) These may or may not be one the same missiles
