👉 Between missiles are short-range ballistic or cruise missiles designed to intercept and destroy enemy aircraft, ground targets, or other missiles during the critical phases of flight, typically midcourse. Unlike strategic ballistic missiles that target high-value military or political objectives from long distances, between missiles are engineered for rapid deployment and precision strikes, often utilizing advanced technologies like infrared sensors or radar to detect and engage their targets. These systems are crucial for air defense, capable of neutralizing incoming threats before they reach their intended targets, thereby enhancing national security and airspace safety.
