A '''medium-range ballistic missile''' ('''MRBM''') is a type of [[ballistic missile]] with medium [[range (aeronautics)|range]], this last classification depending on the standards of certain organizations. Within the [[United States Department of Defense|U.S. Department of Defense]], a medium-range missile is defined by having a maximum range of between {{convert|1000|and|3,000|km}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ballistic and Cruise Missile Threat|url=http://www.nukestrat.com/us/afn/NASIC2006.pdf|publisher=United States Air Force|access-date=22 October 2012|author=National Air and Space Intelligence Center|date=March 2006}}</ref> In modern terminology, MRBMs are part of the wider grouping of [[theatre ballistic missile]]s, which includes any ballistic missile with a range of less than {{convert|3500|km}}.
