👉 Branch missiles, also known as cruise missiles, are a type of guided weapon that travel at lower speeds than traditional ballistic missiles but higher than subsonic aircraft. They are typically launched from surface ships, submarines, or land-based platforms and are designed to navigate through the atmosphere using a combination of inertial guidance systems and external targeting aids, such as radar or GPS. These missiles can carry a payload of various sizes, from small warheads to larger ones capable of delivering nuclear or conventional munitions. Their range and precision make them a versatile tool in modern military arsenals, used for both strategic deterrence and tactical operations.
