Jericho

The Jericho were repulsor missiles created by the Stark Industries to assist the United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan.
==History==
===Production===
One Jericho missile was developed by Stark Industries for the United States Armed Forces. Tony Stark was meant to display the missile's capabilities to Air Force observers attending a demonstration in Afghanistan, during which the missile blew up several cave openings.Avengers: Infinity War: The Heroes' Journey While there, he was ambushed by the Ten Rings and held captive in order to build them a Jericho missile. However, Stark built an armored suit instead from Jericho missile parts and escaped.
===Taken Out of Production===
Obadiah Stane later sold Jericho missiles to the Ten Rings which were then destroyed by Iron Man. Stark saw the way the missiles were being used in battle and killed Stane, ceasing production of the weapon.

====Presented to the Military====
Stark Industries shipped a Jericho missile to Afghanistan so that Tony Stark could demonstrate its abilities in field conditions. A missile was loaded into a missile launcher at a safe distance from the presentation. Stark launched the missile, with the warhead breaking apart in the air into smaller missiles. The smaller missiles hit the crest of a mountain and blew up.
Stark was kidnapped by the Ten Rings, who attempted to force him to rebuild the Jericho out of materials they had bought from Stark Industries. However, Stark instead built an armored suit which he used to escape.
The Ten Rings bought another Jericho missile from Stark Industries and brought it to the village Gulmira. However, Stark arrived and destroyed the missile, fighting the insurgents present.Iron Man: Teen Novelization
====Secretly Purchased====
The Jericho missile was one of the weapons manufactured by Stark Industries for its freedom line of armaments. They organized a presentation to show off the Jericho in Afghanistan. Once there, Tony Stark gave a speech about the Jericho before the missile was fired from the mobile launcher at a mountain range. It broke off into smaller missiles before hitting the peak, causing rubble to fall from the mountain. The United States Armed Forces seemed impressed by its power. This test was being monitored by the Ten Rings.
Stark soon got in a Humvee to go back to the airport, however, the Humvee was attacked by the Ten Rings who kidnapped him. They wanted him to make the Jericho missile for them but Stark refused initially. He was shown the supplies he had to work with that Abu Bakar gathered. He secretly began working on the ARK Reactor while saying he was working on the Jericho. He worked on it with the help of Ho Yinsen who would vouch for him to Raza Hamidmi al-Wazar that they were building the missile and Stark drew fake missile schematics. Once the ARK Reactor was finished the two switched to secretly worked on the Mark I Iron Man Armor. One day, al-Wazar punched Bakar and told Stark and Yinsen they had till tomorrow to make him his missile or they’ll suffer the same fate, prompting Stark to escape using the Mark I Iron Man Armor.
Later, Pepper Potts hacked into Obadiah Stane’s computer, discovering he had been secretly ordering Jericho missiles.
====Killmonger's War====
In an alternate universe, Erik Killmonger rescued Tony Stark in Afghanistan, and Stark spent time in his lab attempting to miniaturize the Jericho into a portable firearm. Thaddeus Ross gave the order to bomb Wakanda using Jericho missiles, kicking off the American-Wakandan War.What If...?: 1.06: What If... Killmonger Rescued Tony Stark?
==Design and Capabilities==
The Jericho is "hot-launched" (The missile's rocket booster fires during launch), and clears the launcher. Upon reaching a preset distance, the Jericho missile casing is blown off, launching sixteen separate, self-seeking MIRVs with their own tracking and guidance systems. The MIRVs then ignite their own engines, and, depending on target settings, will either cluster around the central missile or split off to track their own targets. The central missile's boosters burn out and use inertial and GPS guidance to drop towards its target.
The MIRVs impact onto the target, detonating their small first-impact warheads. In less than a second later, the main warhead detonates, usually resulting in three, massive explosions close together.
