👉 The Christopher missiles, formally known as the Cruise Missile System (CMS), are a series of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) systems developed by the United States during the Cold War. These missiles are designed for long-range strike capabilities, capable of delivering nuclear warheads over vast distances, with a typical range exceeding 5,500 kilometers. The Christopher missiles are notable for their modular design, allowing for various warhead configurations to suit different strategic needs. They feature advanced guidance systems, including both cruise and ballistic modes, enhancing their accuracy and reliability. The system includes multiple variants, such as the Minuteman III and the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) variants, each tailored for specific deployment scenarios and operational requirements. The Christopher missiles have played a crucial role in U.S. nuclear deterrence strategy, significantly contributing to the stability of global security during the Cold War and beyond.
