According to the range, what kinds of missiles can be divided into?

1. Short-range missiles: Their range is usually within 1000 km, mostly short-range missiles. It is mainly used to attack nuclear attack weapons, assembled troops, tanks, planes, ships, radars, command posts, airports, ports, railway hubs, bridges and other targets within the depth of enemy campaigns and tactics.

2. Medium-range ballistic missile: range of medium-range ballistic missile 1000~3000 km.

3. Long-range missiles: General intercontinental missiles are also classified as long-range missiles. NATO (western countries) classifies ballistic missiles as medium-range ballistic missiles (IRBM): 2500 km-3,500 km.

4. Intercontinental ballistic missiles: usually refer to long-range ballistic missiles with a range of more than 8,000 kilometers.

Extended data:

The maximum range is the maximum range and the minimum range is the minimum range. The maximum range depends on the takeoff quality, engine performance, fuel performance, structural characteristics, aerodynamic characteristics and ballistic characteristics of the missile. The minimum range depends on the starting control time, initial dispersion, overload characteristics and the safety of flying missiles.

The maximum and minimum range of some missiles also depends on the capabilities of the detection or guidance system. Different types of missiles have different requirements for range because of different targets and missile performance.
