👉 The Alexandria missiles were a series of short-range ballistic missiles developed by the United States during the Cold War, primarily for use by the Navy aboard aircraft carriers. These missiles were designed to target strategic and conventional military installations along the Soviet Union's eastern border, particularly in the Mediterranean region. Each missile had a range of approximately 150-200 kilometers and could carry a warhead weighing around 300 to 500 kilograms. The missiles were launched from the deck of aircraft carriers, allowing for rapid deployment and a significant tactical advantage in projecting power and deterring Soviet aggression. Their development was part of the broader U.S. strategy to counter Soviet influence and maintain a strong naval presence in key regions during the tense period of the Cold War.
