Cruise Missile

A cruise missile is an unmanned selfpropelled (till the time of impact) guided vehicle that
sustains flight through aerodynamic lift for most of its flight path and whose primary mission is to place
an ordnance or special payload on a target. They fly within the earth’s atmosphere and use jet engine
technology.
These vehicles vary greatly in their speed and ability to penetrate defences.Cruise missiles can be categorised by size, speed (subsonic or supersonic), range and whether launched from land, air, surface ship or submarine
