👉 Missiles are advanced military systems designed for long-range, often intercontinental, delivery of payloads, such as nuclear warheads, precision-guided munitions, or conventional weapons. They typically consist of a guidance system, a propulsion mechanism, and a payload module. Missiles can be launched from various platforms, including land-based sites, sea-launched vessels, or air-launched aircraft, offering flexibility in deployment. Their primary roles include strategic deterrence through the threat of retaliation, tactical strikes against specific targets, and sometimes reconnaissance or surveillance missions. Modern missile technology incorporates sophisticated guidance systems, including inertial navigation, GPS, and radar, enabling high accuracy and the ability to operate in diverse environments.
