Context (3/3): This is also ignoring their lack (for now) of nuclear weapons—which already puts them behind at least nine countries—and hypersonics, which are the future of missile tech and are already being heavily invested in by America, Russia, China, and India
Context (2/3): Their longest-range operational ballistic missile is the Sejjil-1/2, which can travel 2000-2500 km at ~9600 mph. Compare this to America’s Minuteman-III ICBM (~13,000 km @ ~15,000 mph) and Trident-II SLBM (~12,000 km @ ~12,000 mph)
