Tomahawk cruise missiles are long-range, precision-guided weapons used by the military to strike targets from a distance. They can be launched from ships, submarines, and aircraft, allowing for flexibility in combat situations. These missiles are designed to fly at low altitudes to avoid radar detection, making them effective for stealthy operations. Each Tomahawk missile is equipped with advanced navigation systems and can carry various types of warheads, including conventional explosives. They are primarily used by the United States Navy and have been deployed in several conflicts to target enemy infrastructure and military assets with high accuracy.
