Air-to-ground missiles are precision-guided weapons designed to be launched from aircraft to strike targets on the ground. They are used by military forces to engage enemy positions, vehicles, and infrastructure with high accuracy, minimizing collateral damage. These missiles can be equipped with various guidance systems, including laser, GPS, or infrared technology. These missiles come in different types, such as cruise missiles and smart bombs, each tailored for specific missions. They enhance the effectiveness of air operations by allowing pilots to engage targets from a safe distance, reducing the risk to personnel and aircraft during combat situations.
