👉 Cached missiles are a type of missile storage system designed to enhance the security and operational efficiency of missile forces. These missiles are stored in secure, off-site facilities, often in hardened bunkers or underground vaults, to protect them from potential threats such as cyber-attacks, physical sabotage, or unauthorized access. Once a missile is launched, it is retrieved from its cache and transported to the launch site, where it is deployed. This caching strategy reduces the risk of missile theft or interception during transit, ensuring that missiles remain secure until they are needed. Additionally, it allows for better logistical management and can facilitate rapid redeployment in response to emerging threats or changing strategic requirements.
