👉 Comfort missiles, also known as cruise missiles with a human shield or "human shield" capability, are advanced military systems designed to deliver precision-guided munitions while minimizing the risk to human operators. These missiles typically use a combination of GPS, inertial navigation, and advanced targeting systems to ensure they can reach their targets with high accuracy. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, which follow a highly predictable and long-range trajectory, comfort missiles can maneuver in mid-air to evade enemy defenses and adjust their flight path in real-time, making them harder to intercept. The "human shield" aspect refers to the fact that these missiles often have a smaller, more survivable payload compared to conventional warheads, reducing the danger to the crew and allowing for a safer deployment. This technology is particularly valuable for conducting surgical strikes against high-value targets in contested environments, where minimizing collateral damage and risk to personnel is crucial.
