👉 The closest missiles typically refer to short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) or anti-ship cruise missiles, which are designed to deliver a payload over a relatively short distance, usually within 200 to 500 kilometers (124 to 310 miles) from their launch point. These missiles can be further categorized into surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and anti-ship missiles, with the latter often employing advanced technologies like decoys and maneuvering capabilities to evade detection and engage targets at close range. Examples include the Chinese DF-17 (Hunbings) and the Russian S-400 Triumf, both capable of delivering conventional or nuclear warheads.
