👉 Badge missiles, also known as surface-to-air missile variants with a badge or marker, are specialized anti-aircraft weapons designed to engage and destroy enemy aircraft. These missiles are typically mounted on ships, submarines, or land-based platforms and are identified by a distinctive badge or marker that indicates their specific role or origin. They operate by emitting a radar-guided homing system that allows them to autonomously track and lock onto targets, even in challenging conditions such as poor visibility or cluttered airspace. The badges on these missiles can vary in design but generally include a unique identifier or symbol, making them easily distinguishable from other missile systems.
