👉 Cap missiles, also known as cruise missiles, are a type of ballistic missile that flies at lower altitudes and speeds compared to intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). They are guided by radar and can navigate using GPS or inertial navigation systems, allowing them to reach their targets with high precision. Cap missiles are typically launched from shorter-range platforms like aircraft or land-based systems, making them suitable for a variety of military and strategic applications, including precision strikes against high-value targets. Their ability to strike from shorter distances and their relative stealth compared to ICBMs have made them a key component of modern military arsenals.
