Pakistani Medium-range ballistic missile and comparison with their contemporaries

A medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM), is a missile that can carry a nuclear weapon with a range of 800 to 2400 km, this last classification depending on the standards of certain organizations. Within the U.S. Department of Defense, a medium range missile is defined by having a maximum range of between 1,000 and 3,000 km1. In modern terminology, MRBMs are part of the wider grouping of theatre ballistic missiles, which includes any ballistic missile with a range of less than 3,500 km.
