Notes
- ↑ This is world's heaviest ICBM with a throw-weight of 8,800 kg.
- ↑ The world's first intercontinental ballistic missile.
- 1 2 The UK and France only operate submarine-launched versions of the ICBMs.
- ↑ Reports suggest that "The accuracy levels of Agni-V and the 3,500-km Agni-IV (first tested in November 2011), with their better guidance and navigation systems, are far higher than Agni-I (700-km), Agni-II (2,000-km) and Agni-III (3,000-km),"
The accuracy of Agni II is 30 m.
- ↑ Here it says an Israeli official indicated that "A 1,000-kilometer missile should come within 50 meters of its target."
Israel may still lack advanced technology to improve the Jericho's guidance. In 1992 a Defense Department study, the Militarily Critical Technology List, found that Israel lacked a number of specialized devices to make and inspect parts and assemblies for gyroscopes and integrated sensor systems though this finding is over twenty years out of date.
