History of nuclear weapons

	Redstone (rocket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A total of four mobile launchers and equipment, with one reload each, (A total of 8 Redstone MRBM missiles) were deployed in West Germany until 1963.
		Redstone MRBM and Jupiter IRBM propellant tanks were clustered together along with eight Jupiter IRBM engines to form the first stage of the Saturn I and Saturn IB rockets.
		In the late 1960's as series of surplus modified Redstone MRBM missiles were launched in Australia as part of a military test program of reentry vehicles.

		According to specialists, the Jericho-2 MRBM is a two-stage solid fuel ballistic missile with a launch weight of around 14 tons, an ultimate range of approximately 1400-1500 km, and a warhead weight of 800 to 1000 kg.
		The first Shahab-5 MRBM launchers (2-4 units) might be added to Iran's arsenal by 2010 and their number might increase to 6 units by 2015.
		According to estimates, the Shaheen MRBM may be a two-stage solid fuel ballistic missile with a launch weight of 15 tons and a single releasable warhead (800-1,800 kg) equipped with conventional explosives or 15 kiloton nuclear charges.

	MRBMs and IRBMs -- Ballistic and Cruise Missile Threat -- National Air Intelligence Center NAIC-1031-0985-98
		New MRBM and/or IRBM systems are in development in China, North Korea, Iran, India, and probably Pakistan.
		Russia no longer produces or retains any MRBM or IRBM systems, since they are banned by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, which entered into force in 1988.
		The development of long-range ballistic missiles is part of Iran's effort to become a major regional military power, and Iran could field an MRBM system in the first half of the next decade.

		India and Pakistan are developing new MRBM systems capable of carrying weapons of mass destruction.
		Pakistan conducted the second flight test of the Ghauri MRBM on 14 April 1999 after the Indians launched the Agni II MRBM for the first time on 11 April 1999.

		In addition to this, as you all know, MRBMs, whether they’re No Dongs or Shahab-3s or whether they’re the versions of the extended range SCUDs that the Iraqis were developing, are not of much use in a military sense for the delivery of conventional munitions.
		That comes as two indicators: the acquisition of an MRBM if the range of that MRBM is sufficient to allow the state to reach its principal adversary.
		And the second indicator of a breach of that threshold is the mating of that MRBM with a weapon of mass destruction – particularly a nuclear weapon.

		In an ominous development for security on the subcontinent, the BJP reasserted that the development of nuclear weapons was essentail if India was to counter Pakistan's Chinese-backed missile programme.
		The announcement is made more serious because opinion polls have suggested that the BJP will win the largest number of seats in the new parliament following elections to be held from February 16 to March 7 1998.
		A number of Indian reports have stated that the Ghauri would be 'launched' on that date, but in all likelihood the missile will simply be displayed in a public parade.

		The rationale for such a missile is the realisation that the 150-km and 250-km range Prithvi missiles have to be brought close to the border if they are to be effective.
		On the other hand, an MRBM based somewhere in central India would not only be safer but still be able to hit enemy targets.
		China has dismissed as "totally groundless" a report that Pakistan may move all or part of its nuclear weapons to that country for safekeeping from fundamentalists.

		Deployment of the Dongfeng-1 conventionally armed short-range ballistic missile and the Dongfeng-2 (CSS-1) medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) occurred in the 1960s.
		In the 1970s the nuclear weapons program saw the development of MRBM, IRBM, and ICBM capabilities and marked the beginning of a minimum deterrent force.
		China continued MRBM deployment, began deploying the Dongfeng-3 IRBM, and successfully tested and commenced deployment of the Dongfeng-4 (CSS-4) limited-range ICBM.

	Shahab-3
		The missile was launched at 06:00 from a firing range about 100 miles southeast of At (Qom?) Two or three American early warning and SIGINT signal intelligence satellites detected this first launch of the Shahab-3 ballistic missile.
		The Washington Times on September 22, 2000 added that the Iranian had tested the Shahab-3D, MRBM for a third time, but "the rocket exploded shortly after liftoff, U. Intelligence officials said." " Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani told the official IRNA News Agency that the test of the Shahab-3D-----".
		It is known that Iran has and continues to suffer from a steering vain quality control problem for its Shahab-3 ballistic missile that the Germans during WW-II solved and that the United States and former Soviet Union were able to easily resolve with out using specialized coating.

	NTI: Country Overviews: Iran: Missile Capabilities
		The first hints that Iran was developing a a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) came in May 1996 when General Binford Peay, commander of the US Central Command, stated that that Iran was expected to increase the range of its missiles to make them capable of reaching targets in Europe.
		[7] This was followed in late 1996 and early 1997 by additional reports that indicated that Iran was engaged in a major ballistic missile development effort to produce both a MRBM and a intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
		[8] The MRBM, with a reported range of 2,000km, was identified as the Shehab-4, while the ICBM, with a reported range of 10,000km, was subsequently identified as the Shehab-5.

		After maintaining four days of silence, North Korean officials stated that the Western labeled MRBM flight test was not the test firing of a ballistic missile but was a three-stage rocket launch of a small satellite, Kwangmyongsong (Bright Star), into a low-earth orbit with a period of approximately three hours.
		Whether the 31 August 1998 North Korean event was an attempted satellite launch, or an MRBM test-flight, will perhaps never be decided conclusively, nonetheless, the event was pivotal in that it was a very unpleasant surprise to US, Japanese, and South Korean officials and analysts.
		The US intelligence community had predicted the launch of the missile, but the existence of the third stage was completely unknown.

		The fact that MRBM sites existed did not really bother the Americans, but the soccer fields did, considering Cubans played baseball, while Russians played soccer.
		In this respect, the ExComm could not solve the impending crisis with either peaceful terms, or discovering if Khrushchev was even planning to place MRBM’s in Cuba, which would seem the most likely with the sites being built and Soviet technicians in Cuba.
		But, despite all of this, the ExComm had not come up with a plan of action which JFK was willing to accept, as well as one that would hopefully avoid an all out nuclear war.
