👉 Amplifier missiles, also known as surface-to-surface (S-S) or surface-to-air (S-A) missiles with an external boost stage, are advanced missile systems that enhance the range and effectiveness of conventional or nuclear warheads. They consist of a conventional or nuclear warhead mounted on a standard missile platform, such as a carrier or land-based launcher, connected to an external boost stage that significantly increases the missile's range by using a rocket engine or other propulsion system. This design allows the missile to travel much farther than its conventional counterpart, making it a formidable weapon in modern military arsenals. The boost stage can be carried on the missile itself or on a separate vehicle, and once deployed, it provides a substantial boost in velocity, enabling the missile to reach targets previously out of reach.
