👉 Derek missiles, also known as DREK (Direct-Range Extended-Kinetic) missiles, are a class of short-range, ground-launched ballistic missiles developed by Russia. These missiles are designed for tactical use, capable of delivering conventional warheads over distances of up to 200 kilometers. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles that travel long distances, DREKs are designed to strike targets within a limited area, making them ideal for rapid response and precision strikes. They feature advanced guidance systems and can be launched from various platforms, including tanks and artillery pieces, enhancing their deployment flexibility. The development of DREKs reflects Russia's ongoing efforts to maintain a robust and versatile missile defense and offensive capability.
