| Source measurement | A medium-range ballistic missile ( MRBM ) is a type of ballistic missile with medium range , this last classification depending on the standards of certain organizations. Within the U.S. Department of Defense , a medium-range missile is defined by having a maximum range of between 1,000 and 3,000 kilometres (620 and 1,860 mi). In modern terminology, MRBMs are part of the wider grouping of theatre ballistic missiles , which includes any ballistic missile with a range of less than 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi). Roughly speaking, MRBM covers the ranges over SRBM (tactical) and under IRBM .[source]Medium-range ballistic missile · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage DF-2 – 1,250 kilometres (780 mi)[source]Medium-range ballistic missile · Specific MRBMs; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage DF-16 – 1,000–1,600 kilometres (620–990 mi)[source] |

On November 2, 2006, Iran fired unarmed missiles to begin 10 days of military simulations . Iranian state television reported "dozens of missiles were fired, including Shahab-2 and Shahab-3 missiles. The missiles ranged from 300 km to up to 2,000 km. Iranian experts have made some changes to Shahab-3 missiles, installing cluster warheads in them with the capacity to carry 1,400 bombs."[source]Shahab-2 · History; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
