An intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of 3,000–5,500 km (1,864–3,418 miles), between a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Classifying ballistic missiles by range is done mostly for convenience, in principle there is very little difference between a low-performance ICBM and a high-performance IRBM. The range definition used here is used within the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. Some other sources include an additional category, the long-range ballistic missile (LRBM), to describe missiles with a range between IRBMs and true ICBMs. The more modern term theater ballistic missile encompasses IRBMs, MRBMs and SRBMs, including any ballistic missile with a range under . IRBMs are currently operated by India, Israel, and North Korea. Other countries, such as Iran are said to be developing them. The United States, USSR, People's Republic of China, United Kingdom, and France were former operators. ==Specific IRBMs== * S3 IRBM (3,500 km) * Agni-II (2,000–3,000 km) * Agni-III〔(DRDO plans early entry of Agni-4 into arsenal ).
