Notes: According to the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km are banned. However, many nations do not follow it.

Notes On Performance Figures: They were calculated using rules of thumb, which are for missiles lofted on minimum-energy; maximum-range trajectories.
