👉 Could missiles, also known as cruise missiles, are a type of ballistic missile that can fly at lower altitudes and speeds compared to strategic nuclear missiles, making them harder to detect and intercept. They are typically guided by radar or infrared sensors and can carry a variety of payloads, including conventional weapons or nuclear warheads. These missiles are designed for precision strikes, often targeting military installations, infrastructure, or high-value assets. Their ability to evade early warning systems and their relatively shorter range compared to strategic missiles make them a versatile tool in modern military arsenals, used for both deterrence and tactical operations.
