👉 Complement missiles, also known as cruise missiles with terminal guidance, are a type of air-to-surface missile designed for precision strikes against ground targets. Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, complement missiles are launched from aircraft and utilize advanced guidance systems to navigate towards their targets autonomously or with minimal human intervention. They can penetrate various types of defenses, including anti-aircraft systems and missile defense networks, due to their speed, maneuverability, and the ability to adjust their course mid-flight. Equipped with high-precision sensors and GPS or inertial navigation systems, complement missiles are capable of striking specific military objectives with high accuracy, making them a valuable component of modern air defense and offensive strategies.
