Ballistic Missiles of the Middle East and Africa

This is a child group of Ballistic Missiles, collecting the Missiles And Guided Munitions subcategory's ballistic missiles whose own record traces them to a Middle Eastern or African country: Turkey (the Bora and Tayfun short and medium-range systems developed by Turkey's own domestic defense industry) and Israel (the Jericho III intercontinental-range system). Neither country reaches five members on its own within this split, so they are grouped together as a single regional bucket covering each country's own domestically developed strategic missile program.
