👉 Broad missiles, also known as intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) or medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs), are a class of strategic weapons designed for long-range precision strikes against targets within a country or across neighboring nations. These missiles typically have ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers (310 to 3,420 miles), making them more flexible than purely nuclear or short-range missiles in terms of deployment and tactical application. They are often equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), allowing them to carry several warheads, each capable of striking different targets simultaneously. This capability enhances their strategic value by complicating enemy defenses and increasing the potential impact of a single launch. Broad missiles play a crucial role in national defense strategies, providing a deterrent against potential aggressors and serving as a key component in maintaining strategic stability.
