👉 Missiles are guided weapons designed to deliver a payload, typically a nuclear or conventional warhead, over long distances with high accuracy. They operate through various types of guidance systems, including inertial navigation, radar, and GPS, enabling them to follow precise trajectories. Missiles can be launched from various platforms, such as aircraft, ships, or ground-based systems, and are capable of both cruise and ballistic modes. Cruise missiles follow a predetermined path, maintaining a constant speed and altitude, while ballistic missiles rely on initial launch velocity to reach their target. Modern missiles also incorporate advanced technologies like stealth capabilities, hypersonic speeds, and multiple warheads for increased effectiveness and survivability in modern warfare scenarios.
