👉 Missiles are sophisticated weapons systems designed for rapid, long-range delivery of payloads, typically comprising a missile body, guidance system, and sometimes a warhead. Their primary activities include launching from launch pads or mobile platforms, navigating through complex atmospheric conditions using advanced guidance technologies like inertial navigation and GPS, and accurately targeting specific military or strategic objectives. Modern missiles can be guided by various methods, including ballistic (trajectory-based), cruise (flight-controlled), and precision-guided (using external sensors) systems. They are used for a range of military purposes, including deterrence, strike operations, and defense against threats.
