I just want to point out there are very few sources on missile ranges that are based on anything but sales brochures. Including wikipedia, FAS, and Global Security.

The C5's ranges are classified, and the R27 ranges are probably not 130km, based on the type of fuel and the size of the booster.

Not everything on the INTERNET is true, even when it comes from "reliable" sources.
