China has developed several long-range ICBMs, like the [[DF-31]]. The Dongfeng 5 or [[DF-5]] is a 3-stage liquid fuel ICBM and has an estimated range of 13,000 kilometers. The DF-5 had its first flight in 1971 and was in operational service 10 years later. One of the downsides of the missile was that it took between 30 and 60 minutes to fuel. The [[DF-31|Dong Feng 31]] (a.k.a. CSS-10) is a medium-range, three-stage, solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile, and is a land-based variant of the submarine-launched JL-2.

The [[DF-41]] or CSS-X-10 can carry up to 10 nuclear warheads, which are [[MIRV]]s and has a range of approximately {{convert|12000|–|14000|km| abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-09/02/content_11982723.htm |title=Five types of missiles to debut on National Day |work=[[Xinhua]] |date=2 September 2009 |access-date=2010-04-06  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150110175201/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-09/02/content_11982723.htm |archive-date=10 January 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.janes.com/articles/Janes-Strategic-Weapon-Systems/DF-41-CSS-X10-China.html |title=DF-41 (CSS-X-10; China) |work=Jane's Strategic Weapon Systems |publisher=[[Jane's Information Group]] |date=2 July 2009 |access-date=2010-04-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110326182303/http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Strategic-Weapon-Systems/DF-41-CSS-X10-China.html |archive-date=26 March 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://missilethreat.com/missiles/df-41-css-x-10/?country=china#china |title=DF-41 (CSS-X-10) |publisher=Missile Threat |access-date=2015-01-26  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408175732/http://missilethreat.com/missiles/df-41-css-x-10/?country=china |archive-date=8 April 2016 }}</ref> The DF-41 deployed underground in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu and Inner Mongolia.

Israel is believed to have deployed a road mobile nuclear ICBM, the [[Jericho II missile|Jericho III]], which entered service in 2008. It is possible for the missile to be equipped with a single {{convert|750|kg|abbr=on}} nuclear warhead or up to three [[Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle|MIRV]] warheads. It is believed to be based on the [[Shavit 2|Shavit]] space launch vehicle and is estimated to have a range of {{convert|4800|to|11500|km| abbr=on}}.<ref name="CRS-RL30427" /> In November 2011 Israel tested an ICBM believed to be an upgraded version of the Jericho III.<ref name="pfeffer1" />

[[India]] has a series of ballistic missiles called [[Agni (missile)|Agni]]. On 19 April 2012, India successfully test fired its first [[Agni-V]], a three-stage solid fueled missile, with a strike range of more than {{convert|7500|km|abbr=on}}. Missile was test-fired for the second time on 15 September 2013.<ref name="thehindu.com" /> On 31 January 2015, India conducted a third successful test flight of the Agni-V from the [[Abdul Kalam Island]] facility. The test used a canisterised version of the missile, mounted over a Tata truck.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Agni 5, India's Longest Range Ballistic Missile, Successfully Test-Fired|url = http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/agni-5-indias-longest-range-ballistic-missile-successfully-test-fired-735955|website = NDTV.com|access-date = 2016-02-08|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160114090146/http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/agni-5-indias-longest-range-ballistic-missile-successfully-test-fired-735955|archive-date = 14 January 2016|url-status = live}}</ref> On 15 December 2022, first night trial of Agni-V was successfully carried out by SFC from Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha.
