 Within this definition you can find a wide variety of what is to be considered a missile, and also a large variety of [[missile classifications]]. Here we will mostly discuss larger and longer range missiles.
-There is however a risk that "missile" refers to "Air launched cruise missile", weapons which by virtue of being launched from the air commonly does not need the booster.

-[https://www.iiss.org/blogs/research-paper/2022/04/missile-identification-and-assessment This] looks like a good introduction to missiles.
+Markus Schiller provides a [https://www.iiss.org/blogs/research-paper/2022/04/missile-identification-and-assessment short] introduction to (large) ballistic missiles, covering basics on rocketry and propulsions, as well as a section on how to estimate missile properties from open sources.

	Note that the "(at least)" bit implies there can be more parts to a missile than just the rocket motor and the warhead, this is primarily intended to capture the important class of "cruise missiles" that fly a long part of their trajectory powered by a "sustainer" part and not by the rocket part.
