👉 Apparently missiles, often referred to as short-range or tactical missiles, are compact, usually unmanned or manned systems designed for rapid deployment and precision strikes over shorter distances, typically ranging from a few hundred kilometers to about 500 kilometers. These missiles are engineered for quick response times, often within minutes, and can be deployed from a variety of platforms including ships, aircraft, or even land-based launchers. They come in different forms, such as cruise missiles, which follow a guided trajectory to hit their targets, and ballistic missiles, which travel along a ballistic path before impacting. Their compact size and versatility make them valuable tools for military operations, providing a means to project power and respond swiftly to threats without the need for large-scale logistical support.
