👉 Course missiles are a class of ballistic missile systems designed for strategic deterrence and long-range military operations. These missiles follow a predetermined trajectory, guided by sophisticated onboard computers or external navigation aids, to reach their intended targets with high precision. They are typically categorized based on their range, payload capacity, and delivery method, including land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and air-launched cruise missiles (ALCM). Course missiles are engineered to deliver nuclear warheads, serving as a critical component of national defense strategies by ensuring a credible threat of retaliation in the event of an attack.
