👉 Asked missiles are weapons systems designed to deliver nuclear or conventional payloads rapidly and with minimal warning, often targeting specific high-value military or civilian locations. Unlike intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that can take days or weeks to reach their targets, asked missiles are engineered for speed and precision, typically with a range of several hundred kilometers. This allows them to strike with the intent of causing immediate and devastating damage, making them a contentious issue in international security due to their potential for rapid escalation and the difficulty in predicting their use.
