AGM-69 SRAM vs M-4

Overview

The AGM-69 SRAM and the M-4 are both Ballistic missiles.

The M-4 has a range of 5,000 km β€” 25:1 the AGM-69 SRAM's 200 km. The AGM-69 SRAM reaches 4,322 km/h vs 18,500 km/h for the M-4. Launch weight is 1,010 kg for the AGM-69 SRAM vs 36,000 kg for the M-4. The AGM-69 SRAM uses Inertial measurement unit and radar altimeter guidance, while the M-4 relies on Inertial.

The AGM-69 SRAM entered service 13 years before the M-4 (1972 vs 1985).

American ballistic missile, entered service in 1972, uses inertial measurement unit and radar altimeter guidance.
