👉 Asking missiles are a type of nuclear weapon designed to be launched from a mobile platform, such as a submarine or aircraft, and aimed directly at a target. The term "asking missiles" refers to their capability to deliver a nuclear payload with minimal warning, often referred to as a "first strike" or "retaliation" capability. This ensures that the missile can be launched with a high degree of surprise, making it a critical component of nuclear deterrence strategies. The mobility and stealth of these missiles enhance their effectiveness by reducing the likelihood of detection and interception, thus maintaining a credible threat of nuclear retaliation.
