Air-launched cruise missile

An air-launched cruise missile is a precise, guided weapon carried by aircraft that can fly long distances to target specific locations. It is designed to mimic the flight of a small airplane, flying low to avoid radar detection and using onboard navigation systems to reach its target accurately. These missiles are typically used for strategic attacks on high-value targets, such as military installations or infrastructure, and can be launched from various aircraft, including fighters and bombers, allowing for flexible and covert strike capabilities.
