what do we mean by silos???????/?
A silo is a large, usually round shaped storage area used by many farmers for corn and grains. Some old ones were converted to hide missles and air defense weapons in, because they are tall enough to house them easily without being obvious
You are probably referring to a nuclear silo. This is the building that nukes are kept in at sites where they can be launched if we are attacked. They are named silos because they are tall building of a shape similar to the corn silos familiar to anyone who has seen a farm in the midwest. Much of that height is underground.
In Military, Silo means an underground vertical chamber housing a missile ready to be fired. Generally it is a tall cylindrical airtight storage tower. Normally used for storage of grains or for ensilage.
in military jargon the silo is an underground vault which houses a nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile. back in the day we had 100s of these aimed at russia. the pres has a button on him at all times. he pushes the button, the doors open, and the world ends.
silos are basically storage vessels. there are two kinds of silos. the first one are silos used in farms where they store grain and other stuff in them. the other type of silos are for military purposes; containment chambers, usually underground, where missiles are housed and can be launched from. you can check them out in games like red alert.
