👉 Missiles are advanced weapon systems designed for long-range precision strikes, typically employing ballistic or cruise capabilities. They can be launched from various platforms, including land-based launchers, sea-launched missiles (like submarine-launched ballistic missiles), and air-launched from fighter jets or bombers. These missiles use different technologies such as thermonuclear (hydrogen) or nuclear (fission) warheads, which can obliterate targets at extreme distances. Modern missiles are equipped with sophisticated guidance systems, including inertial navigation and GPS, allowing them to accurately target specific locations while evading enemy defenses. They can also be equipped with multiple warheads for increased destructive potential and are often used in military conflicts, as well as for strategic deterrence purposes.
