A Medium-Range Ballistic Missile (MRBM) is a type of missile designed to deliver a payload over distances typically ranging from 1,000 to 3,500 kilometers. These missiles follow a ballistic trajectory, meaning they are powered during the initial phase of flight and then coast through space before descending towards their target. MRBMs can carry various types of warheads, including conventional explosives and nuclear payloads. MRBMs are often used by military forces for strategic deterrence and can be launched from mobile platforms or fixed sites. Countries like North Korea and India have developed their own MRBM systems, contributing to regional security dynamics and international relations.
