Jericho Missile Max Ranges by Variant

Summary

The visual measures maximum operational range in kilometers for Jericho ballistic missile variants. Jericho III reaches 11,500 km, the longest, while Jericho I is at 660 km. This shows Israel's missile capability growth to ICBM class. These ranges matter for strategic reach with 500 kg payload.

Key findings

  • Jericho III max range is 11,500 km.
  • Jericho II reaches 7,800 km.
  • Jericho I limited to 660 km.
  • Range from I to III multiplies by 17.4.
  • II to III adds 3,700 km.

Metrics Framework

  • Metric is maximum operational range in km.
  • Unit of measure is kilometers (km).
  • Ranges use upper bounds from specifications table.
  • Basis includes 500 kg payload where specified.

Analysis

Range Progression Across Variants
Jericho I has a maximum range of 660 km. Jericho II extends to 7,800 km, a large increase. Jericho III achieves 11,500 km, the highest value. The jump from 660 km to 7,800 km shows over 11 times more reach. From 7,800 km to 11,500 km adds 47% more distance. This pattern reflects design advances in each step.
Jericho III Leads in Reach
Jericho III tops at 11,500 km range. Jericho II reaches 7,800 km, below that mark. Jericho I stays at 660 km, much shorter. The 11,500 km for III confirms ICBM status. Compared to 660 km, it is 17 times farther. The 7,800 km of II supports intermediate role between variants.
Variant Comparison Highlights
Maximum ranges are 660 km for Jericho I, 7,800 km for II, and 11,500 km for III. The difference between I and II is 7,140 km. From II to III, it grows by 3,700 km. Overall from first to last, range multiplies by 17.4. These numbers come from upper bounds in specs with 500 kg payload.
Strategic Range Capabilities
Jericho II's 7,800 km uses Shavit-derived performance. Jericho III hits 11,500 km for global reach. Jericho I limits to 660 km. The 11,500 km value enables ICBM class. Gaps show evolution: 660 to 7,800 km, then to 11,500 km. Data uses text estimates and table bounds.

FAQ

Max_range_km is the maximum operational range in kilometers for each Jericho variant. It uses upper bounds from the specifications table and text estimates. The metric applies to performance with 500 kg payload where noted. Values are 660 km for Jericho I, 7,800 km for II, and 11,500 km for III.

A high range like 11,500 km for Jericho III shows ICBM-class capability for global strategic reach. Lower values such as 660 km for Jericho I indicate shorter-range use. Higher numbers reflect advanced multi-stage designs. Jericho II at 7,800 km fits intermediate role.

The data covers Jericho family variants without specific deployment years stated. Ranges come from current specifications table and text. No forecast or future estimates are included. Values represent operational upper bounds as per source material.

Ranges use upper bounds from Wikipedia specifications table and text estimates. Jericho II draws from Shavit-derived performance at 7,800 km. Jericho III is up to 11,500 km. Jericho I is 500-660 km. No further methodology details are given in the source.
