👉 Asia Missiles, also known as Aegis Ashore or SA-20, are advanced anti-missile defense systems deployed primarily in South Asia, notably by India and Pakistan. These systems are part of a broader missile defense network aimed at intercepting ballistic missiles launched from adversaries. The Aegis Ashore variant is a ground-based, mobile missile defense platform equipped with multiple layers of sensors and interceptors capable of targeting short- to medium-range missiles. These missiles are designed to counter the threat posed by ballistic and cruise missiles, providing a critical layer of defense against potential attacks from neighboring countries. The deployment of these systems has heightened regional tensions, as they are perceived by some as escalatory measures that could provoke an arms race in missile technology.
