👉 The ADA missiles, officially known as the Agile Direct Attack Missile (ADA), were a class of short-range, air-launched cruise missiles developed by the United States. These missiles were designed for rapid deployment and had a range of approximately 150-200 kilometers, making them ideal for counter-terrorism and precision strikes against high-value targets. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, ADA missiles utilized air-to-air refueling, allowing them to be launched from aircraft, providing greater flexibility and reducing the need for dedicated launch infrastructure. The ADA program was part of a broader U.S. strategy to enhance missile defense and counter emerging threats, particularly in the post-9/11 era.
