👉 AOL missiles, also known as Air-Launched Outpost Missiles (AOLOMs), are advanced air defense systems developed by the United States Air Force. These missiles are launched from aircraft, typically B-52 Stratofortress bombers or newer variants like the B-21 Raider, rather than from ground-based launchers. Once in the air, they can engage and neutralize incoming ballistic missiles, providing a crucial layer of defense against aerial threats. AOL missiles are designed to be highly maneuverable and can intercept targets at various ranges, making them a versatile component of modern air defense networks. They enhance the U.S. military's ability to protect against a wide array of aerial threats, including those from long-range ballistic missiles.
