Polaris missile

The Polaris missile is a type of submarine-launched ballistic missile developed by the United States during the Cold War. It can be launched from underwater submarines, carrying nuclear or conventional warheads over long distances with high accuracy. Designed to ensure a secure second-strike capability, Polaris missiles enhance national security by allowing a state to respond to potential threats even if land-based targets are compromised. They are stored fully fueled and sealed inside submarines, making them ready for deployment at any time, and contribute significantly to strategic deterrence.
