The first ballistic missile was created in the 1930s by Walter Dornberger. It was launched in 1944 into London, an English city. Within three years of the first launch, over three thousand ballistic missiles were created and fired. The first kind of missile, using metal tubes and explosive powder, was created in the 18th Century, by Tippu Sultan.

∙ 8y agoIn the early 1920s serious work on ballistic missile prototypes began nearly simultaneously by Robert Goddard (US), Hermann Oberth (Germany), and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (USSR) but their work was largely ignored at the time.
The first ballistic missile that got attention of military and government people was the German V-2 introduced in 1943.

What is an Anti-balistic missile?
The Romans created the first ballista. It looked like a very large cross bow. It throws things a long way (relatively). A ballistic missile throws itself. An anti-ballistic missile throws itself at the incoming ballistic missile.
What is non ballistic missile?
As a ballistic missile is one that is only powered on the upward portion of its flight and relies on a sub-orbital arc to then reach its target, it logically follows that a non-ballistic missile is one that is powered throughout its flight: An example of a non-ballistic missile would be the cruise missile which travels horizontally, hugging the terrain, until reaching its target. Both types can be armed with a variety of weapons. This is why, when talking about guns, you hear the term ballistic, as the bullet is only powered for a short time (while traveling through the barrel of the gun) and continues un-powered to its target. A bullet is a ballistic "missile" (of sorts). -gm A non ballistic missile is an area where missiles are fired at the enemy. If it is a non ballistic missle, it means that it can harm no one. - jg

What type of missile was the German A4 Missile?
The German A4/V2 Missile was a Ballistic Missile. A ballistic missile is a missile that follows an sub orbital ballistic flightpath with the objective of delivering one or more warheads to a predetermined target. The missile is only guided during the relatively brief initial powered phase of flight and its course is subsequently governed by the laws of orbital mechanics and ballistics. Up to now all ballistic missiles have been propelled during powered flight by a chemical rocket engines of various types.
