👉 Boost missiles are short-range, ballistic missile systems designed for rapid deployment and tactical use, typically capable of delivering a payload directly to a specific target within a limited area. These missiles are characterized by their ability to be launched from various platforms, including aircraft, ships, and even some ground-based systems, providing flexibility in military operations. They generally have a shorter range than cruise missiles, usually between 100 to 400 kilometers, and can be launched in minutes or hours, making them ideal for immediate response situations. Boost missiles often feature advanced guidance systems and can be equipped with various payloads, including conventional munitions or guided bombs, enabling them to target enemy positions with precision and speed. Their rapid deployment capability makes them a crucial component of modern military arsenals, enhancing strategic deterrence and tactical flexibility.
