👉 Continuing missiles, also known as cruise missiles or hypersonic missiles, are advanced weapon systems designed to deliver a payload of conventional or nuclear warheads over long distances while maintaining a hypersonic speed, typically between Mach 5 and Mach 10. These missiles utilize sophisticated guidance systems that allow them to navigate through the atmosphere with high accuracy, making them challenging to intercept using current missile defense technologies. Their development aims to enhance a nation's strategic deterrence capabilities by providing a rapid, precise, and survivable means of delivering a significant payload, thus altering the dynamics of modern warfare and international security.
