👉 Compression missiles, also known as solid-propellant rockets with a unique design, are a type of missile that utilizes a compression chamber to ignite and accelerate the propellant mixture. Unlike traditional solid rockets, which store pre-mixed propellants, compression missiles employ a cylindrical chamber that compresses the fuel and oxidizer gases to extremely high pressures before ignition. This compression process generates intense heat and pressure, creating a supersonic shockwave that ignites the mixture, propelling the missile forward. This design allows for greater control over thrust and a more efficient use of propellant, making compression missiles versatile for various military applications, including precision-guided munitions and anti-ship warfare.
