👉 Diameter missiles, also known as multipurpose missiles or DMVs (Directed Multiple Variable), are a class of ballistic missile systems designed for a wide range of military applications, including conventional warfare, nuclear deterrence, and anti-ship operations. These missiles feature a variable diameter design, which allows them to carry different payloads depending on the target and mission requirements. Typically, they have a cylindrical or conical cross-section that can expand or contract, enabling them to accommodate various warheads, from conventional explosives to nuclear warheads. This versatility makes them highly adaptable and cost-effective for military forces, as a single missile can serve multiple roles without the need for multiple specialized systems.
