👉 Developmental missiles are intermediate-range ballistic or cruise missiles designed to bridge the gap between early warning systems and strategic nuclear weapons. These missiles are typically guided by various methods, including inertial navigation, radar, and GPS, and are capable of reaching their targets with high accuracy. They play a crucial role in a nation's military strategy by providing a rapid response capability against conventional threats and, in some cases, as part of a broader nuclear deterrent. Development of these missiles involves significant technological advancements in guidance systems, materials science, and propulsion technologies, making them a critical component of modern military arsenals.
