Q. What kind of missile is ‘Exo-atmospheric interceptors missile’, recently seen in news?
Answer: Surface-to-air
Notes: Israel's exo-atmospheric interceptors, a surface to air missile, also known as anti-ballistic missiles (ABMs), successfully neutralized 99% of missiles launched by Iran. These ABMs counter incoming ballistic threats, especially Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), beyond Earth's atmosphere. Equipped with advanced infrared sensors and radar systems, they detect and terminate targets at hypersonic speeds. Guided by sophisticated inertial navigation and three-stage solid rocket boosters, they accurately intercept threats with exceptional precision.
