Tactical ballistic missile

A tactical ballistic missile (TBM), or battlefield range ballistic missile (BRBM), is a ballistic missile designed for short-range battlefield use. Typically, range is less than 1,000 kilometres (620 mi). Tactical ballistic missiles are usually mobile to ensure survivability and quick deployment, and can carry a variety of warheads to target enemy facilities, assembly areas, artillery, and other targets behind front lines. Warheads include conventional high explosive, chemical, biological, or nuclear warheads. Typically, tactical nuclear weapons are limited in their total yield compared to strategic nuclear weapons.
