👉 Court missiles, also known as Scud missiles, were a type of intermediate-range ballistic missile developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. These missiles were designed for tactical use, capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads. They were launched from mobile launchers, often mounted on trucks or artillery pieces, allowing for rapid deployment and surprise attacks. The Scud missiles ranged from short to medium distances, with the shorter versions capable of striking targets within 200-300 kilometers and the longer ones extending this range up to 1,000 kilometers. Their versatility and mobility made them a significant component of the Soviet military's strategic arsenal, used for both offensive and defensive purposes.
