The RS-26 Rubezh (Russian: РС-26 Рубеж, meaning frontier or boundary), designated by NATO as SS-X-31, [4] is a Russian solid-fueled intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) with a nuclear warhead, of which the range bracket just barely classifies it as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
On 19 April 2012, India successfully test fired its first Agni-V, a three-stage solid fueled missile, with a strike range of more than 7,500 km (4,700 mi). Missile was test-fired for the second time on 15 September 2013. [13] On 31 January 2015, India conducted a third successful test flight of the Agni-V from the Abdul Kalam Island facility.
Jericho III is a road mobile ICBM which entered service in 2008, a three-stage solid propellant missile with a payload of 1,000 to 1,300 kg with a range of 4,800 to 11,500 km [15] (2,982 to 7,180 miles). [16] In November 2011, Israel successfully test fired an ICBM believed to be an upgraded version of the Jericho III. [17]
Minuteman III launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on 9 February 2023.. The LGM-30 Minuteman is an American land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in service with the Air Force Global Strike Command.
The Midgetman grew out of a requirement expressed in the mid-1980s by the U.S. Air Force for a small ICBM which could be deployed on road vehicles. Fixed silos are inherently vulnerable to attack, and with the increasing accuracy of submarine-launched ballistic missiles there was a growing threat that the Soviet Union could launch large numbers of missiles from off the coast, destroying most ...
The relation between and are given by the following table, where the values for DRMS and 2DRMS (twice the distance root mean square) are specific to the Rayleigh distribution and are found numerically, while the CEP, R95 (95% radius) and R99.7 (99.7% radius) values are defined based on the 68–95–99.7 rule
Atlas, test number 449, Air Force Missile Test Center. The Convair X-11 / SM-65A Atlas / Atlas A was the first full-scale prototype of the Atlas missile, first flying on 11 June 1957. [ 21 ] It was a test model designed to verify the structure and propulsion system, and had no sustainer engine or separable stages.
