👉 The Chris Missiles, also known as the "Chris" or "Chris-1," are a series of advanced, stealthy anti-ship cruise missiles developed by Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. Named after the Israeli Navy officer and missile expert Yossi Chris, these missiles are designed for precision strikes against naval targets, particularly ships. They feature a unique design with a hypersonic glide phase, allowing them to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) before entering their terminal phase, where they engage in ballistic flight. Equipped with advanced radar evasion and decoys, Chris Missiles can evade enemy air defenses and surface-to-air missiles, making them a formidable threat to naval forces.
