Surface-to-surface missile

A surface-to-surface missile is a type of weapon designed to travel from one land-based point to another, such as from a military base to an enemy target. It is launched from the ground or a ship and is guided to strike specific targets accurately over long distances. These missiles can carry different types of warheads, including conventional explosives or nuclear devices. They are used for strategic purposes, like defending against threats or deterring adversaries, and are equipped with advanced guidance systems to ensure precise targeting.
