👉 A missile is a guided or unguided weapon system designed to deliver a payload, typically a warhead, to a specific target over a distance. Missiles can be categorized into various types based on their guidance systems, including ballistic missiles (which follow a ballistic trajectory), cruise missiles (which maintain a steady flight path using onboard guidance systems), and strategic missiles (capable of long-range precision strikes). They are engineered for various purposes, such as military combat, anti-ship operations, or space exploration, and their design encompasses propulsion, guidance, control, and communication systems to achieve accurate targeting and delivery.
