👉 Contained missiles, also known as tactical or short-range missiles, are compact, often unguided or partially guided weapons designed for use by individual soldiers or small units in combat situations. These missiles are typically launched from portable launchers and can be fired from various platforms, including vehicles or handheld devices. They generally have a limited range, usually between 1 to 10 kilometers, and are engineered for rapid deployment and close-quarters combat effectiveness. Contained missiles can be launched using different technologies, such as solid-propellant engines or rocket motors, and are often equipped with basic guidance systems to ensure accurate targeting. Their small size and ease of use make them ideal for guerrilla warfare, urban combat, and as a means to extend the range of infantry operations without requiring large logistics support.
