👉 The Baths Missiles, also known as the Baths Bombers or Baths Missile System, were a series of long-range surface-to-air missile systems developed by the United States during the Cold War. These missiles were designed to intercept and destroy enemy aircraft, particularly those of potential adversaries like the Soviet Union. The Baths Missiles were notable for their unique design, featuring a large, cylindrical body that housed the missile's warhead and guidance system, with a smaller, more agile rocket stage for propulsion. They were launched from mobile launchers and could reach altitudes of over 30,000 feet, making them capable of engaging high-altitude targets. The system was part of a broader strategy to counter the Soviet air force's capabilities and maintain a strategic balance during the arms race.
