👉 Commitment missiles, also known as pledge missiles, are a type of strategic missile designed to deliver nuclear warheads and serve as a credible threat of retaliation in the event of a nuclear attack. Unlike conventional missiles, commitment missiles are engineered to be difficult to intercept or destroy, ensuring that any adversary attacking them would face a guaranteed response. This capability is intended to deter potential aggressors by making the costs of an attack prohibitively high, as it would lead to mutual destruction. These missiles are typically launched from mobile platforms such as submarines or land-based systems, providing flexibility and survivability. The development and deployment of commitment missiles underscore the importance of nuclear deterrence in international security strategies.
