Tactical missile

A tactical missile is a type of guided weapon designed for short- or medium-range combat to target specific military objectives, such as enemy troop concentrations, vehicles, or installations. Unlike strategic missiles, which cover longer distances and often carry nuclear warheads, tactical missiles focus on battlefield use, providing precise, flexible, and rapid firepower. They typically feature advanced guidance systems for accuracy and can be launched from land, sea, or air platforms. Tactical missiles enhance military agility by allowing forces to quickly respond to threats with targeted strikes, reducing collateral damage and increasing battlefield effectiveness.
