👉 Missiles are advanced military systems designed for the delivery of payloads, such as warheads or explosives, over long distances, often with precision targeting capabilities. They can be launched from various platforms, including aircraft, ships, and ground-based systems. Missiles operate through a guidance system that ensures accurate navigation and targeting, utilizing technologies like inertial navigation, GPS, or radar. There are two primary types: ballistic missiles, which follow a ballistic trajectory under the influence of gravity and no guidance systems, and cruise missiles, which use onboard navigation systems to maintain their target path. Missiles can be further categorized by their range, from short-range tactical missiles used for close combat to long-range strategic missiles designed for global deterrence.
