👉 The Atlantic Missiles are a series of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) systems developed by the United States during the Cold War, primarily to counter the Soviet Union's growing nuclear capabilities. These missiles were designed to be launched from bases along the Atlantic coast of the U.S., allowing for rapid deployment and a quick response to any potential Soviet aggression. The Atlantic Missiles were part of the larger Polaris missile system, featuring a two-stage design with a liquid-fueled engine and a heavy warhead capable of reaching targets across the Atlantic. They were intended to provide a second-strike capability, ensuring that even if one missile system was destroyed, the U.S. could still retaliate with devastating force.
