Jericho 3

Israel’s long-range solid-fueled ballistic missile, widely assessed by outside analysts as a strategic delivery system but not publicly acknowledged in detail by the Israeli government.

Intermediate-range ballistic missile · Real-world assessed system · Reported in service since 2011

Technical basis

Public assessments describe the Jericho 3 as a mobile or hardened-basing, multistage solid-propellant missile with interregional reach. Because Israel maintains nuclear opacity, reported performance, basing, payload, and force structure remain estimates rather than confirmed public specifications.
