👉 Below-missile systems, also known as short-range interceptors or surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) with extended range capabilities, are advanced defense mechanisms designed to detect and neutralize threats within a limited distance from enemy territory. These systems typically use radar, infrared sensors, and advanced algorithms to identify incoming missiles or aircraft, then deploy guided missiles or other interceptors to engage and destroy them before they reach their target. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, which travel long distances, below-missile systems are engineered to operate effectively within a few hundred kilometers of their launch point, providing a critical layer of air defense for military bases, cities, and other strategic locations. They are often part of a broader missile defense network, working in conjunction with other systems to ensure comprehensive protection against aerial threats.
