Countries Possessing Ballistic Missiles
This
table was prepared by Todd Sechser of the Carnegie
Non-Proliferation Project. It represents the Project’s best
assessment of the 33 countries—other than the five nuclear
powers—that have operational ballistic missiles with range
capabilities of over 100 kilometers.
Longer-range missiles are identified with larger type
sizes. Missiles
reported to be in development are listed in italics.
