  There are two main types of Missiles

  

  1. Cruise Missiles

  2. Ballistic Missiles

     Leaves Earth’s Atmosphere and then hits the Target. Called as Parabolic or Ballistic Trajectory

  Difference Between Cruise and Ballistic Missiles

  | Cruise Missiles | Ballistic Missile | | --- | --- | | Remains in Earth’s Atmosphere | Leaves Atmosphere | | Uses Jet, Ramjet & Scramjet Engine | Uses Rocket Engine | | Range is 500 to 600 KM | Range is as high as 12,000 KM | | Less Payload Capacity | Higher Payload Capacity | | Brahmos, Nirbhay - India Tom Hawk - USA | Agni - India |

  BrahMos → From Handout

  Range of Brahmos 1 was limited until 300 KM

  MECR - Multilateral Export Chemical Regime

  When we started with MECR, Russia was member of MECR

  The 4 MECR was

  1. NSG (Nuclear Supplier Group) → for the control of nuclear related technology

     India is not a Part of NSG Group.

  2. AG (Australia Group) → for control of chemical and biological technology that could be weaponized

  3. MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime) → for the control of rockets and other aerial vehicles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction
