A tactical missile is a type of guided missile designed for use on the battlefield. These missiles are typically launched from ground-based platforms, ships, or aircraft and are intended to strike specific targets with precision. They are often used to engage enemy forces, infrastructure, or equipment within a limited range, usually up to a few hundred kilometers. Tactical missiles can vary in size and capability, with some being equipped with conventional explosives while others may carry nuclear warheads. Examples of tactical missiles include the ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) and the BrahMos, which are designed to enhance military effectiveness in combat scenarios.
