The increasing use of ballistic missiles in recent conflicts involving Iran and Ukraine is prompting a global arms race, with nations ramping up investments in long-range strike capabilities. According to Bloomberg News, the effectiveness of these weapons on the battlefield has demonstrated their strategic value, leading military planners worldwide to prioritize missile development programs. This shift reflects broader concerns over national security amid rising geopolitical tensions.
