👉 Classics missiles, also known as ballistic missiles, are long-range weapons designed to deliver a payload—typically a nuclear warhead—over vast distances with precision. These missiles have been developed and deployed since the mid-20th century, with early examples like the Soviet R-7 Semyorka marking the beginning of their use in military strategy. The classics missiles are characterized by their simplicity, reliability, and ability to strike targets anywhere on the globe. They operate using a ballistic trajectory, relying on gravity and initial velocity to follow a curved path dictated by Earth's gravity. These missiles can be launched from various platforms, including land-based launchers, sea-launched platforms like the SS-N-13 Poseidon, and air-launched systems such as the American B-52 Stratofortress. The development of multiple stages and guidance systems has significantly enhanced their accuracy, range, and payload capacity, making them a cornerstone of modern military arsenals.
