beyond-visual-range missiles
Beyond-visual-range missiles (BVRMs) are advanced weapons designed to engage targets at distances greater than what the human eye can see. These missiles utilize sophisticated guidance systems, such as radar or infrared, to track and hit targets without needing to be in close proximity. This capability enhances the effectiveness of military aircraft and naval vessels in combat situations.
BVRMs are often employed in air-to-air combat, allowing fighter jets like the F-22 Raptor or Eurofighter Typhoon to engage enemy aircraft from a safe distance. Their use reduces the risk to pilots and increases the chances of mission success by allowing for surprise attacks and improved tactical flexibility.
