A medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) is a type of ballistic missile with medium range, this last classification depending on the standards of certain organizations. Within the U.S. Department of Defense , a medium-range missile is defined by having a maximum range of between 1,000 and 3,000 kilometres (620 and 1,860 mi). [ 1 ]
The PGM-19 Jupiter was the first nuclear armed, medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) of the United States Air Force (USAF). It was a liquid-propellant rocket using RP-1 fuel and LOX oxidizer, with a single Rocketdyne LR79-NA (model S-3D) rocket engine producing 667 kilonewtons (150,000 lb f) of thrust.
The number 25 represents the missile's range of 2,500 km. [10] [14] [15] [16] Iran said it has decreased the missile size over the initial version, reducing the propellant mass and range. [17] Such a range covers targets in Israel , Egypt and Saudi Arabia , and NATO members Romania , Bulgaria and Greece , if fired from Western Iran.
Ballistic missiles vary widely in range and use, and are often divided into categories based on range. Various schemes are used by different countries to categorize the ranges of ballistic missiles: Tactical ballistic missile (TBM): Range less than 300 km; Short-range ballistic missile (SRBM): Range from 300 to 1,000 kilometres (190 to 620 mi)
An intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of 3,000–5,500 km (1,864–3,418 miles), between a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). [1] Classifying ballistic missiles by range is done mostly for convenience.
