cruise missile
- A cruise missile is a type of self-guided missile. They fly very close to the ground. This missile makes its own path, hence it is called a cruise missile.
- They fly through the Earth's atmosphere with the help of jet engine technology. Their speed is very fast.
- Due to flying at low altitude it is not detected by radar. These can be fired from land, air, submarines and warships anywhere.
- Cruise missiles can be divided into subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic cruise missiles according to their capabilities. For example, India's BrahMos is a supersonic missile and BrahMos 2 is a hypersonic missile.
- Cruise missiles are smaller in size than ballistic missiles and carry lighter bombs. Cruise missiles are used for both conventional and nuclear bombs.
Ballistic Missile
- After launch, the missile rises rapidly and then descends rapidly due to gravity and hits its target.
- Ballistic missiles are launched from large ships or special locations with resources. India has ballistic missiles named Prithvi, Agni and Dhanush.
- Ballistic missiles are larger in size than cruise missiles. These missiles can carry heavier bombs than cruise missiles.
- After launch, ballistic missiles travel in a crescent-shaped trajectory through the air. As soon as contact with the rocket is lost, the bomb in it falls to the ground due to gravity.
- Ballistic missiles are typically used to carry nuclear warheads, although they can also carry conventional weapons.
