The AGM-86 is a long-range air-to-surface missile developed by the United States. It is primarily designed for use by strategic bombers, such as the B-52 Stratofortress, allowing them to strike targets from a safe distance. The missile can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, making it a versatile weapon in the U.S. military arsenal. The AGM-86 is equipped with advanced guidance systems, including GPS and inertial navigation, which enhance its accuracy. It has a range of over 600 miles, enabling it to engage targets deep within enemy territory while minimizing the risk to the launching aircraft.
