👉 Missiles are advanced weapon systems designed for rapid, long-range delivery of payloads, including conventional munitions or nuclear warheads. They feature sophisticated guidance systems that enable precise targeting and can operate autonomously or under human control, often with the ability to adjust their course mid-flight. Modern missiles can be launched from various platforms, including ships, aircraft, and ground-based systems, providing strategic flexibility. They are engineered for speed, endurance, and accuracy, capable of reaching their targets from hundreds to thousands of kilometers away. Additionally, missile technology has evolved to include multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), allowing a single missile to carry several warheads, each with its own guidance system, enhancing the military's offensive and defensive capabilities.
