Short-range ballistic missile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of about 1000 km or less. They are usually capable of carrying nuclear weapons. In potential regional conflicts, these missiles would be used because of the short distances between some countries and their relative low cost and ease of configuration. In modern terminology, SRBMs are part of the wider grouping of theatre ballistic missiles, which includes any ballistic missile with a range of less than 3,500 km.
