A ballistic missile (BM) is a type of missile that uses projectile motion to deliver warheads on a target. ... A depressed trajectory is non-optimal, as a lower and ...
Depressed trajectory Success The K-4 missile was fired at a depressed trajectory. Starting from successfully clearing the launch tube and breaking the water surface to stage separation and maintaining the ballistic trajectory, the missile achieved all parameters before zeroing in on the pre-designated target with high accuracy.

The UGM-133A Trident II, or Trident D5 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), built by Lockheed Martin Space in Sunnyvale, California, and deployed with the United States and Royal Navy. It was first deployed in March 1990, [ 6 ] and remains in service.
The launch was on a depressed trajectory of 20 km apogee, previously 37-60 km, while traveling 190 km (120 mi), showing that the missile can fly at a lower altitude over short ranges, which would reduce reaction time for missile defenses. Taken together, this suggests that the KN-23 is operational.
On 16 August 2019, two missiles were launched from Tongchon, to an apogee of 30 km and a range of 230 km (140 mi), demonstrating a depressed trajectory. On 21 March 2020, two KN-24s were fired from Sonchon , to an apogee of 50 km and a range of 410 km, performing "pull-up maneuvers" in flight, and one supposedly striking a small 100 meter-long ...
The Trident missile is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV). Originally developed by Lockheed Missiles and Space Corporation , the missile is armed with thermonuclear warheads and is launched from nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs).
The RSM-56 Bulava (Russian: Булава, lit. "mace", NATO reporting names SS-N-30 / SS-NX-32, [11] GRAU index 3M30, 3K30) is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) developed for the Russian Navy and deployed in 2019 on the new Borei class of ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
A test launching of Hyunmoo-2 ballistic missile. The Hyunmoo-2A was the first of South Korea's attempts to develop an newer indigenous ballistic missile with an increased range, over Hyunmoo-1. Due to an agreement in 2001 with the MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime), the missile's range was limited to 300 km.
