Tried to rewrite the lede a bit to clarify what a modern missile does. I used Encylopedia Britannica as a source. A modern ballistic missile does a fly a parabolic path which may or may not enter outer space. Missiles used in a war zone are an example of missiles that fly a ballistic flight path that may not enter outer space. A SCUD missile is a good example of a ballistic missile used in a specific area. I have written about some of this stuff long ago.

Tried to rewrite the lede a bit to clarify what a modern missile does. I used Encylopedia Britannica as a source. A modern ballistic missile does a fly a parabolic path which may or may not enter outer space. Missiles used in a war zone are an example of missiles that fly a ballistic flight path that may not enter outer space. A SCUD missile is a good example of a ballistic missile used in a specific area. I have written about some of this stuff long ago. Mary Ash (talk) 18:08, 25 August 2024 (CDT)
