👉 Missiles are complex systems designed for delivering payloads, such as warheads or explosives, from a launch point to a specified target distance and location. They typically consist of several key components: the guidance system, which ensures accurate targeting; the propulsion system, responsible for moving the missile through space or through the atmosphere; the control system, managing the missile's flight path; and the warhead or payload, which is the actual explosive or other destructive device. Missiles can be categorized into various types based on their range, delivery method (ground-launched, sea-launched, air-launched), and purpose (strategic, tactical, or cruise). Each class of missile is engineered to meet specific operational requirements, balancing factors like range, speed, accuracy, and payload capacity.
