Tomahawk missiles are long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missiles primarily used by the United States Navy. They are designed to strike land and sea targets with high precision. Launched from ships or submarines, these missiles can travel over 1,000 miles and are equipped with advanced guidance systems to ensure accuracy. The Tomahawk missile has been a key component of U.S. military operations since its introduction in the 1970s. It can carry various types of warheads, including conventional explosives and nuclear payloads. Their ability to be launched from a distance allows for strategic strikes while minimizing risk to personnel and equipment.
