Redstone Is A Flight Forerunner To IRBM
The Redstone, an ugly steel tube capable of spanning hundreds of miles at supersonic speed, is the Army’s forerunner to the intermediate range ballistic missile. Officials say it could carry an atomic warhead to targets 1500 miles away, with an official range of 200 to 300 miles and high accuracy. The IRBM will resemble the Redstone but differ notably in power as the Army and Navy collaborate on its development.
