👉 Buyer missiles, also known as Buyer-class or Buyer-1 missiles, are a type of cruise missile developed by the United States for the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system. These missiles are designed to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles in their midcourse phase, typically between 500 to 1,000 kilometers from the launch site. They are launched from a carrier aircraft and feature advanced guidance systems that allow them to autonomously navigate and target their high-speed, maneuverable targets. The primary advantage of Buyer missiles is their ability to counter a wide range of threats, including those with varying trajectories and speeds, making them a crucial component of modern missile defense strategies.
