Notes

  1. ^ This is world's heaviest ICBM with a throw-weight of 8,800 kg.
  2. ^ The world's first intercontinental ballistic missile.
  3. ^ a b UK and France only operate submarine-launched versions of the ICBMs.
  4. ^ 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.

  5. ^ a b c “We have started working on the multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles [MIRV] version [Agni-VI]. It will carry four or six warheads depending upon their weight,” DRDO missile technologists said. “The constraint is the vehicle’s mass.” Agni-VI all set to take shape. The Hindu.
  6. ^ Here [1] 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and inspect parts and assemblies for gyroscopes and integrated sensor systems though this finding is over twenty years out of date.
