Air-to-surface missiles

Air-to-surface missiles are guided weapons launched from aircraft to strike land or sea targets. They are designed to travel over long distances with high precision, often using onboard guidance systems like radar, infrared, or GPS. These missiles can deliver various types of warheads, such as explosive or specialized payloads, to destroy strategic or tactical targets. They enhance the attacking capabilities of aircraft, allowing for accurate strikes from a safe distance. Their development incorporates advanced technology to ensure effectiveness against a wide range of targets while minimizing risks to the launching platform.
