👉 Airport missiles are a type of air defense system designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles, typically those with ranges exceeding 500 kilometers. These systems are strategically placed at major airports to protect civilian aircraft and passengers from potential missile threats. Airport missiles employ various technologies, including radar systems for tracking incoming missiles, interceptor missiles equipped with guided or unguided propulsion systems for rapid maneuvering and interception, and command-and-control centers for coordinating defense efforts. They are crucial components of national missile defense strategies, enhancing security at critical transportation hubs.
