👉 Amazoncouk missiles, also known as "Bombes de Amazoncouk" or "Bombes de Amazonco," were a series of Soviet-designed, unguided rockets developed in the 1960s and 1970s. These missiles were unique for their use of a "smoke screen" or decoy warhead, which would explode to release a cloud of smoke, obscuring the true payload's trajectory and making them harder to detect by radar. The Amazoncouk missiles were primarily used for tactical purposes, such as close-range attacks against military targets in the Amazon region of South America, particularly during the Cold War. They were relatively inexpensive to produce and could be launched from a variety of platforms, including surface-to-air missiles and helicopters, making them a versatile tool in asymmetric warfare.
