Ballistic Missiles - More and more countries aiming for long range strike capability

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Feared for their capability to carry nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles are missiles that follow a sub-orbital ballistic flightpath with the objective of delivering one or more warheads to a predetermined target. These missiles are powered by rockets during the initial stage, but follow an unpowered, free-falling trajectory toward their targets governed by the laws of orbital mechanics and ballistics. Learn more about ballistic missiles, their types, launch platforms and capabilities, as well as the latest missiles currently deployed or under development in this book.
