tactical ballistic missile

A tactical ballistic missile (TBM) is a type of short-range missile designed for use on a battlefield, primarily to strike ground targets. Unlike long-range ballistic missiles that can travel thousands of kilometers, TBMs typically have a range of about 150 to 300 kilometers. They are used to deliver conventional warheads against enemy forces, infrastructure, or military installations, providing quick and precise responses. TBMs are often launched from mobile platforms, making them harder to detect and target, enhancing their effectiveness in military operations.
