👉 Besides missiles, which are designed for direct-to-surface attacks, there are various other types of missile systems in use, including cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, and ballistic missiles. Cruise missiles are guided missiles that travel at lower speeds and can evade enemy defenses, while anti-ship missiles are engineered to target naval vessels. Ballistic missiles, on the other hand, follow a ballistic trajectory, guided by inertial navigation systems, and can cover vast distances. These missiles serve diverse strategic purposes, from precision strikes to deterring potential adversaries.
