	MissileThreat :: Ballistic Missiles of the World
		The greatest strategic threat to the United States is an attack by one or more ballistic missiles armed with nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction.
		Missilethreat.com is dedicated to explaining this threat, and the urgent need for robust and layered missile defenses.
		Systems based on land, sea, air, and in space which are capable of intercepting a missile during any phase of its flight are necessary to provide for the common defense.

	Definition of Ballistic missile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Long and medium range ballistic missiles are generally designed to deliver nuclear warheads because their payload is too limited for conventionally-armed ballistic missiles to be efficient, and because the extreme heat of re-entry would damage chemical or biological payloads.
		Many advanced ballistic missiles have several rocket stages and their course can be slightly adjusted from one stage to the next.
		The first ballistic missile was the V-2 rocket, developed by Nazi Germany in the 1940s, which was successully launched for the first time on October 3, 1942 and used for the first time in operation on September 8, 1944.

	Force de frappe
		The land element contained the Pluton and the Hades, mobile tactical and strategic missiles of limited range, designed to be launched at approaching Russian armies from the east.
		The Pluton missile was retired in 1993 and its successor the Hades was produced in limited numbers in the 1990s and placed in storage in 1992.
		Since there was no hope to counter a full-scale invasion of Europe by the mean of conventional weapons (reminiscent of the 1940 Battle of France), these tactical weapons were meant as a "warning shot" that would tell the enemy that further advance would trigger a full-scale nuclear attack on its main cities.

		It was designed from July 1984 as a replacement for the tactical road-mobile Pluton missile.
		The 120 intended Hadès missiles were to be launched from wheeled trailers, each carrying two missiles in containers that acted as launch systems.
		The missile was carried horizontally, erected by the truck itself, and launched immediately.

		They were design to provide the tactical part of French nuclear deterrence during the Cold War.
		This short range only allowed strikes on targets in West Germany or within France itself, which led to the development of the longer ranged Hades missile.
		A project for an updated version, called Super-Pluton, was dropped in favor of the Hades project, and the aging Pluton was gradually discarded until completely retired in 1993.

		Both the missile and its warhead were developed without support from other NATO nations and were intended as the foundation of France’s own nuclear deterrent.
		The Pluton had a range of 120 km (75 miles) and used an inertial guidance system that had an accuracy of 150 m CEP.
		The Super Pluton project was dropped in 1983 in favor of the Hadès design, which ultimately replaced the Pluton.

		The version of the Hades missile designed to hit solid underground targets also had a final guidance system which used a GPS-based digital system, resulting in a Circular Error Probable of only 5 m.

		In the Reagan administration's campaign to the European public, the deployment of cruise and Pershing II missiles was portrayed as a necessary response to the escalation in numbers of Soviet nuclear weapons in the European theatre - a means of restoring the "balance" of nuclear arms in Europe.
		Tactical nuclear missiles such as the Pluton which were deployed from 1974 were taken from the control of front line commanders and brought under direct Presidential control.
		The Pluton tactical missiles of which Hernu had opposed the introduction in 1974 on the grounds of their dubious tactical purposes were relabelled "prestrategic", an interesting piece of jargon designed to reaffirm the centralised all or nothing nature of the weapons.

		A ballistic missile is a missile, usually with no wings and maybe with or without small stabilizing fins, that follows a prescribed course that cannot be signifiigantly altered after the missile has burned its fuel, whereafter its course is governed by the laws of ballistics.
		Long and medium range ballistic missiles are generally designed to deliver nuclear warheads because their payload is too limited for conventional explosives to be efficient.
		Ballistic missiles can vary widely in range and use, and are often divided into categories based on range.

		NEW DELHI, June 15: The range of the Prithvi missile, which at present is 150-250 km, can be increased manifold by fitting into it an inter-changeable warhead weighing within 500 to 1,000 kg, says a military expert.
		It could be compared with weapon systems like pluton of France and lance of united states of America which are an integral part of a tactical formation like a corps.
