Scenarios about 'missile defense'
Missile defense refers to military systems designed to detect, track, and intercept enemy missiles before they reach their targets. These technologies evolved significantly during the Cold War, from early warning systems to sophisticated anti-ballistic missile platforms, and continue to influence international security dynamics through programs like the Strategic Defense Initiative and modern theater missile defense systems. In alternate history scenarios, different developments in missile defense capabilities often reshape nuclear deterrence strategies, military alliances, and the outcomes of key conflicts.
