👉 Baby Missiles, also known as Scout Missiles or Miniature Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles (MIRB), are a category of short-range to intermediate-range ballistic missiles designed for military use, particularly by smaller nations or those with limited resources. These missiles are significantly smaller and less powerful than their larger counterparts, typically ranging from 50 to 300 kilotons of yield. They are often equipped with advanced guidance systems, including infrared homing and GPS, allowing them to target specific high-value military or strategic assets with precision. The development of Baby Missiles is part of a broader trend towards more accessible and cost-effective missile technology, enabling countries to enhance their defensive capabilities without the expense and complexity of larger systems.
