👉 Missiles are guided weapons systems designed to deliver a payload, typically a warhead, over long distances with precision. They consist of several key components: the missile body, which houses the warhead and propulsion system; the guidance system, which uses sensors and computers to determine the target's location and adjust the missile's trajectory; the control system, which manages the overall operation of the missile; and the launch vehicle, which propels the missile into the air. Missiles can be ballistic, following a ballistic trajectory due to gravity, or cruise, maintaining a stable flight path through active guidance. They are used for military purposes such as strike operations, reconnaissance, and defense, and their effectiveness relies on accurate targeting and reliable guidance.
