Missile boats are small, fast naval vessels designed primarily to launch missiles against enemy ships and land targets. They are equipped with advanced radar and targeting systems, allowing them to engage in combat effectively while remaining agile and difficult to detect. These boats often carry anti-ship missiles, which can strike targets from a considerable distance. Typically used by smaller navies, missile boats can operate in shallow waters and are often deployed for coastal defense. Their speed and maneuverability make them suitable for hit-and-run tactics. Countries like Russia and Israel have developed various models of missile boats to enhance their naval capabilities.
