A surface-to-surface tactical ballistic missile of the US Army. The Type II was deployed in Europe in December 1982 to counter the Soviet SS-20 missile. Its range was shorter than that of the SS-20, but it used a radar terrain matching guidance system for terminal guidance and boasted high accuracy with a CEP (circular error probability) of 45m. Intermediate-range nuclear forces were completely eliminated by the end of May 1991 under the INF Treaty. Its main specifications are a range of 1,800km, speed of Mach 12, total length of 10.5m, diameter of about 1m, launch weight of 7.2t, propulsion method of solid fuel, warhead power of 5-50kt, and CEP of less than 45m.
