👉 Missiles are sophisticated weapon systems designed for the delivery of payloads, typically guided missiles or ballistic missiles, over long distances with precision. They consist of three main components: the missile itself, which can be guided or unguided; the guidance system that directs the missile to its target; and the launch vehicle, which propels the missile into space. Missiles can vary in range, from short-range tactical missiles used for immediate combat situations to long-range strategic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads over vast distances. They are engineered for various purposes, including offensive strikes against military targets, reconnaissance, and even anti-ship operations. Modern missiles often incorporate advanced technologies such as stealth capabilities, electronic countermeasures, and precision-guided munitions to enhance their effectiveness and survivability.
