India has developed a ballistic missile with a range of 2,500 km and a family of space-launch vehicles that would have intercontinental range if used as ballistic missiles. This technology, combined with India's nuclear weapons, gives that country a strategic ICBM capability. Iraq has the technology to build a long-range missile, Iran buys missiles from North Korea, and all three have tried to buy missiles and advanced technologies from other countries. The NIE denied the existing threat and understated the future threat. Russia's massive nuclear arsenal still poses an immediate threat of accidental or unauthorized launch, plus possible future danger from political instability.
China presents the same dangers on a reduced level.
Russia and China are modernizing their strategic forces and will be serious threats for years to come. North Korea is a future threat, and other threats are likely to emerge as the rogue regimes succeed in buying missiles and technologies.
