Laser-guided missiles are precision weapons that use laser technology to hit specific targets. They are equipped with a guidance system that locks onto a laser beam directed at the target, allowing for accurate strikes even from a distance. This technology minimizes collateral damage and increases the effectiveness of military operations. These missiles are often used by military forces in various conflicts and can be launched from aircraft, ships, or ground vehicles. The laser designator, which emits the laser beam, can be operated by a soldier or mounted on a platform, ensuring that the missile follows the beam to its intended target.
