👉 Deep missiles, also known as hypersonic glide vehicles or scramjet-powered missiles, are advanced weapon systems designed to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) and utilize aerodynamic control during their flight. These missiles combine elements of both ballistic and cruise missiles, featuring a stealthy, maneuverable design that allows them to evade detection by radar systems. They typically use advanced propulsion technologies, such as scramjets (supersonic combustion ramjets), which enable them to sustain hypersonic speeds by burning fuel in the atmosphere. Deep missiles are engineered for precision strikes, often targeting high-value military assets or strategic infrastructure, and their development represents a significant leap in military technology due to their speed, agility, and potential for evasion.
