Hypersonic
A hypersonic cruise missile would travel at least 5 times the speed of sound. These are still in the developmental stage.
Examples:
BrahMos II India/ Russia The joint Russia/India venture is in the testing phase.
[edit]Supersonic
Air-Sol Moyenne Portée, a French supersonic cruise missile
These missiles travel faster than the speed of sound, usually using ramjet engines. The range is typically 100500 km, but can be greater. Guidance systems vary.
Examples
3M-54 Klub Russia "Sizzler" variant is capable of supersonic in terminal stage.
Air-Sol Moyenne Portée France - supersonic stand-off nuclear missile
BrahMos India / Russia (currently the fastest cruise missile in operation anywhere in the world)
C-101 China
C-301 China
C-803 China supersonic terminal stage only
C-805 China
KD-88 China
P-800 Oniks Soviet Union/ Russia
Kh-31 Russia
P-500 Bazalt Soviet Union/ Russia
P-700 Granit Soviet Union/ Russia
P-270 Moskit Soviet Union/ Russia
YJ-91 China
[edit]Long-range subsonic
A United States Air Force AGM-86
The US, USSR, UK, China, Pakistan and India have developed several long-range subsonic cruise missiles. These missiles have a range of over 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) and fly at about 800 kilometres per hour (500 mph).[citation needed] They typically have a launch weight of about 1,500 kilograms (3,300 lb)[citation needed] and can carry either a conventional or a nuclear warhead. Earlier versions of these missiles used inertial navigation; later versions use much more accurate TERCOM and DSMAC systems. Most recent versions can use satellite navigation.
Examples:
AGM-86B United States
AGM-129 ACM United States
BGM-109 Tomahawk United States/ United Kingdom
Nirbhay India (under development)
CJ-10 People's Republic of China
DH-10 People's Republic of China
Babur II Pakistan(in development)
Hyunmoo IIIC South Korea[5]
KH-55 Russia
[edit]Medium-range subsonic
Storm Shadow (UK/France/Italy)
These missiles are about the same size and weight and fly at similar speeds to the above category, but the range is (officially)[citation needed] less than 1,000 km. Guidance systems vary.
Examples:
AGM-158 JASSM United States
Babur Pakistan
KD-63 China
Ra'ad ALCM Pakistan
Storm Shadow/SCALP United Kingdom/ France/ Italy
Taurus KEPD 350 Germany/ Sweden
[edit]Short-range subsonic
These are subsonic missiles which weigh around 500 kilograms (1,102 lb) and have a range of 300 km (190 mi).[citation needed]
Examples:
AVMT-300 Brazil
C-801 China
C-802 China
C-602 China
Delilah missile Israel
Kh-35 Russia
Nasr-1 Iran
Raad Iran
Noor Iran
Qader Iran
Zafar Iran
SOM (missile) [6][7] Turkey
Naval Strike Missile Norway
RBS-15 Sweden
Silkworm China
RGM-84 Harpoon United States
