The DF-5 is a 3 stage Chinese ICBM. It has a length 32.6 m and a diameter of 3.35 m. It weighs in at 183,000 kilograms and it has an estimated range of 12,000 to 15,000 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. ...more on Wikipedia about "DF-5"

Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) was a Soviet ICBM in the 1960s that after launch would go into a low Earth orbit and would then de-orbit for an attack. It had no range limit and the orbital flight path would not reveal the target location. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fractional Orbital Bombardment System"

An intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is a very-long-range (greater than 5,500 km or 3,500 miles) ballistic missile typically designed for nuclear weapons delivery, i.e., delivering one or more nuclear warheads. It uses a ballistic trajectory involving a significant ascent and descent, including sub-orbital flight. ICBMs are differentiated by maximum range from other ballistic missiles: intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs), short-range ballistic missiles, and the newly named theater ballistic missiles. One particular weapon developed by the Soviet Union ( FOBS) had a partial orbital trajectory, and unlike most ICBMs its target could not be deduced from its orbital flight path. It was decommissioned in compliance with arms control agreements, which address the maximum range of ICBMs and prohibit orbital or fractional-orbital weapons. The following nations currently have operational ICBM systems: Russia, the United States, France ** , the UK, and China. Pakistan has IRBMs but its ICBMs are under Research and Development see Pakistan's ballistic missiles ...more on Wikipedia about "Intercontinental ballistic missile"

The Surya ICBM is a intercontinental ballistic missile under development in India. Very little is known about it. The political need for a Indian ICBM is low so many analyst feel it will be over a decade before any manufacturing/deployment plans for possible ICBM. It is expected to be in service by the end of 2020 but current political issues with neighboring Pakistan may affect the status of the program. The missile is only being mentioned as a land based weapon. ...more on Wikipedia about "Surya ICBM"
