The Argentine Condor missile was a multinational space research program started in the 1970s. It involved significant contract work being performed by German company MBB (now a group within Daimler AG), but later developed into a ballistic missiles program.
Condor I
The original Condor[1] had little military capability but helped build expertise later used for the Alacrán missile program.[2][3] The Alacrán program developed a functional short-range ballistic missile.

Alacrán (Condor IAIII)
The Alacrán missile was a short range ballistic missile derived from the Condor Missile Program.[4]
Derived from the Condor IAIII prototype, the Alacrán missile had shorter stabilization fins, an inertial guidance system, and a 1000CAP1 cluster warhead.

Condor II
During and after the 1982 Falklands War (Шаблон:Lang-es), France (which supplied missiles) placed an arms embargo on Argentina, causing the Argentine Air Force, under the command of Ernesto Crespo, to develop its own medium-range missile in the Condor II[5] program.
This program was undertaken in close collaboration with Egypt,[6] and then Ba'athist Iraq[7] (the Iraqi version was called BADR-2000),[8] however it was discontinued in the early 1990s by President Carlos Menem because of political pressure from the United States.[9][10] The missile was developed in Falda del Carmen, Córdoba Province.
The Condor missile had a range of 800 km to 1,000 km[11][12] and a 1000CAP1 500 kg cluster munition warhead.
In 1997, the Argentine Air Force reported to the US Congress that it still possessed two of the missiles that were to be destroyed.[13][14]Шаблон:Citation needed
Condor III
There have been reports of a Condor III program. The Condor III would have an increased range to some Шаблон:Convert with the same payload as the Condor II.[11][15]
