👉 Border missiles are short-range, typically ballistic or cruise missiles designed to provide rapid response capabilities for defending a country's borders against potential threats. These missiles are strategically placed near or along a nation's borders to quickly intercept and neutralize incoming threats, such as unauthorized crossings or attacks from neighboring countries. They are often launched from mobile platforms like ships, aircraft, or land-based systems, offering a swift and direct defense mechanism that can deter or counteract hostile actions before they escalate.
