👉 Close missiles, also known as anti-ship or anti-ship cruise missiles, are a type of missile designed to engage and destroy naval vessels from a distance. These missiles typically travel at high speeds, often exceeding Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound), and are capable of penetrating enemy defenses, including missile defense systems. They can be launched from various platforms, such as submarines, surface ships, and aircraft, and are equipped with advanced guidance systems that allow them to accurately target moving targets like ships. The primary purpose of close missiles is to provide a rapid and effective means of neutralizing enemy naval assets, making them crucial components in modern naval warfare.
