👉 Basis missiles, also known as surface-to-surface (SS) missiles, are short-range, ballistic missile systems designed to deliver a payload directly to ground targets. They typically operate from mobile or stationary launchers, such as ships, aircraft, or land-based platforms, providing rapid deployment capabilities. These missiles are characterized by their simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for a wide range of military applications, including anti-ship, anti-aircraft, and ground-attack missions. Unlike cruise missiles, which follow a more complex trajectory to avoid detection, basis missiles maintain a direct path to their target, enhancing their effectiveness in various combat scenarios.
