{{short description|Ballistic missile with a range of about 1,000 kilometres}} A '''short-range ballistic missile''' ('''SRBM''') is a [[ballistic missile]] with a [[range (aeronautics)|range]] of {{convert|300|km|mi|abbr=on}} to {{convert|1000|km|mi|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23317724/defense-primer-ballistic-missile-defense-nov-23-2022.pdf|title=Defense Primer: Ballistic Missile Defense|work=[[Congressional Research Service]]|date=23 November 2022|access-date=26 November 2022}}</ref> In past and potential regional conflicts, these missiles have been and would be used because of the short distances between some countries and their relative low cost and ease of configuration. In modern terminology, SRBMs are part of the wider grouping of [[theatre ballistic missile]]s, which includes any ballistic missile with a range of less than 3,500 km.
