Cruise missile systems are precision-guided weapons designed to deliver a payload to a specific target over long distances. They typically fly at low altitudes to avoid radar detection and can be launched from various platforms, including ships, submarines, and aircraft. These missiles are equipped with advanced navigation systems, allowing them to follow a predetermined flight path and adjust in real-time to avoid obstacles. Cruise missiles can carry different types of warheads, including conventional explosives and nuclear payloads. Notable examples include the Tomahawk missile used by the United States and the BrahMos missile developed by India and Russia. Their ability to strike targets with high accuracy makes them a key component of modern military strategy.
