👉 Assists missiles are a type of cruise missile designed for precision-guided strikes, primarily used by the United States and Israel. They operate by following a predetermined flight path, guided by GPS or other navigation systems, and are capable of delivering a payload of up to 500 kilograms (1,102 pounds) to high-value targets. Unlike conventional missiles, assists missiles are not equipped with a warhead that detonates upon impact but instead carry a conventional explosive warhead. The missile's guidance system allows it to adjust its trajectory mid-flight, ensuring accurate targeting of specific locations, making them highly effective for precision strikes in military operations.
