👉 Checked missiles, also known as smart or guided missiles, are advanced weapon systems that incorporate sophisticated guidance and control technologies to enhance accuracy, range, and targeting capabilities. Unlike conventional missiles, which rely on basic aerodynamic flight paths, checked missiles use sensors and computers to determine their target mid-flight, adjusting their trajectory in real-time to account for environmental factors like wind and terrain. This technology significantly increases their precision, reducing the risk of collateral damage and making them highly effective in military operations. The "checked" aspect refers to the system's ability to verify and confirm the target's location before engaging, ensuring that the missile only launches when it is certain of its target's identity and position.
