👉 The Dallas missiles, also known as the "Dallas-1" or "D-1," were a class of medium-range ballistic missiles developed and deployed by the United States during the Cold War. These missiles were designed to target high-value military and political objectives within the Soviet Union and its allies, offering a strategic deterrent against potential nuclear attacks. The Dallas missiles featured a two-stage design, with the first stage using a solid rocket motor and the second stage employing liquid propellants for greater range and accuracy. They were launched from mobile launch platforms, allowing for rapid deployment and flexibility in targeting. The system was part of a broader U.S. missile defense strategy, aimed at countering the Soviet threat and maintaining strategic balance during the tense period of the Cold War.
