Surface-to-Surface Missile Market Overview

摘要

The surface-to-surface missile market is a diverse category including tactical and strategic ballistic missiles as well as surface-launched cruise missiles. Development of tactical ballistic missiles has stagnated owing to the INF Treaty and the end of the Cold War, as these weapons tended to be for tactical nuclear delivery. There are only two areas of this category still active, the US production of conventionally armed tactical ballistic missiles like MGM-140 ATACMS, and the development of Scud lookalikes by China, North Korea and elsewhere in the developing world. India has an active ballistic missile program that technically resembles tactical missiles, but the program is strategic in mission.
