👉 A launch weapon is a type of missile or projectile designed to be launched from a mobile platform, such as a ship, aircraft, or land-based vehicle, rather than from a fixed launchpad. These weapons are typically guided by advanced navigation and targeting systems, allowing them to reach their intended targets with precision. Launch weapons can vary in design, from short-range surface-to-surface missiles to long-range anti-ship cruise missiles. They offer significant tactical advantages, including the ability to strike from unexpected angles and locations, making them a versatile tool in modern military operations.
