 Global Beat: Step-By-Step Control Over Ballistic and Cruise Missiles
Beyond this, the growth of ballistic and cruise missile capability throughout the world is in fact creating new dangers of missile use to deliver chemical or biological weapons, exemplified by Iraq's weaponization of chemical and biological missile warheads.
Because ballistic missiles are an effective weapon against satellites, the spread of ballistic missile capability is a growing threat to the space-orbiting observation and communications satellites on which the international community is increasingly dependent.

 Global Beat: Documenting Russia's Nuclear Arsenal
The chapter does not give detailed descriptions of the latest Russian Yury Dolgoruky submarine project supposed to be armed with a Bark missile, however, because the editorial work on the book was finished early in 1997, when little progress on the submarine and the weapon was seen.
The book also includes a very helpful Annex with an index of all Russian strategic systems and weapons ­- including their parallel names used by Russian design bureaus, industry and the military on the one hand, and by the Pentagon and NATO at negotiations and in treaties, on the other.
These names in most cases differ, and this has often confused journalists and the general public.
