The Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) is a multilateral, informal agreement among 35 countries, established in 1987, aiming to prevent the spread of missiles and related technologies capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction by controlling exports.

MTCR was laid out in April 1987 by the G7 nations: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, and USA. The MTCR was made to control the spread of automated conveyance frameworks for atomic weapons, Specifically, conveyance frameworks that can convey a payload of 500 kg for a distance of 300 km.

The MTCR has successfully curtailed several long-range missile programs, leading countries like Argentina, Egypt, Iraq, Brazil, and South Africa to abandon them. A "no undercut" policy ensures uniform compliance among member states.
The MTCR has been instrumental in curbing the proliferation of missile technology and long-range missile programs globally. Through international cooperation and a "no undercut" policy, it strengthens global security and mitigates the risks of weapons of mass destruction.
