👉 CB (Ballistic Cruise Missile) systems are a class of intermediate-range ballistic missiles that operate in a unique phase between cruise missiles and strategic bombers. They are launched from cruise missile carriers or submarines and travel at hypersonic speeds, typically between Mach 3 and Mach 6, making them difficult to intercept with current radar technology. CB missiles have a range of approximately 500 to 1,000 kilometers and are designed to deliver nuclear warheads, primarily targeting high-value military and strategic assets within a specific geographic area. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles that follow a more predictable trajectory, CB missiles exhibit erratic flight patterns due to their hypersonic speeds and maneuverability, complicating missile defense systems.
