👉 The Diane missiles were a series of medium-range ballistic missiles developed by the United States during the Cold War era, primarily intended for deployment on mobile launch platforms like trucks or ships to enhance their stealth and survivability. These missiles were notable for their ability to be launched from unconventional positions, reducing the risk of detection and interception by enemy forces. The Diane missile system was designed to carry a variety of warheads, including nuclear, chemical, and conventional payloads, making it a versatile tool for strategic deterrence. However, due to their complexity and the high cost of development and deployment, only a limited number were produced and deployed.
