👉 Cluster missiles are a type of ballistic missile designed to deliver multiple warheads, typically ranging from 10 to 300, to a specific target area. These missiles are equipped with a warhead that contains several smaller, individually deployable projectiles or "clusters." When the missile is launched, these clusters are released in a coordinated manner, often guided by a single control system, to strike multiple points simultaneously. This strategy increases the missile's effectiveness by overwhelming the target with a high number of smaller, often less-guarded, warheads, making it more difficult to defend against. Cluster missiles are commonly used for strategic deterrence and can be deployed by various military forces due to their versatility and high payload capacity.
