👉 Dev missiles, also known as Development Missiles, were a class of short-range ballistic missiles developed primarily by the Soviet Union during the Cold War era. These missiles were designed for tactical and strategic deterrence, capable of delivering conventional or nuclear payloads over relatively short distances, typically ranging from a few hundred kilometers to around 1,000 kilometers. The Dev missile family included various variants like the Dev-2, Dev-3, and Dev-6, each with distinct characteristics in terms of range, payload capacity, and guidance systems. Their deployment was a key component of the Soviet Union's military strategy, aimed at enhancing its second-strike capability and ensuring a credible threat of retaliation against potential adversaries.
