👉 Missiles are guided weapon systems designed to deliver a payload, typically a warhead, over a target area with precision and speed. The criteria for missile effectiveness include range (the maximum distance they can travel), accuracy (the ability to hit a specific target with minimal deviation), speed (how quickly they can reach the target), guidance systems (which determine their flight path, such as inertial navigation or GPS), and payload capacity (the weight and destructive power of the warhead). Additionally, missiles must have a reliable launch mechanism, be resistant to various environmental conditions, and incorporate countermeasures against enemy defenses. These criteria collectively determine a missile's operational effectiveness in military applications.
