AGM-86 ALCM (Air-Launched Cruise Missile)

The AGM-86 ALCM (Air-Launched Cruise Missile) is a long-range missile carried by strategic bomber aircraft, designed to deliver nuclear or conventional warheads to distant targets with high precision. It is powered by a jet engine, enabling it to fly at low altitudes for stealth and evade radar detection. The missile follows a pre-programmed flight path, using detailed navigation systems, and can target enemy facilities from hundreds of miles away. Its purpose is to provide a flexible, survivable strike capability for deterrence and national defense.
