A missile is a weapon that carries a warhead, relies on its own power unit for propulsion, and is guided and controlled by a guidance system to control its flight path. Since their introduction during World War II, missiles have developed over 70 years into a family of weapons with diverse types and advanced performance. This book introduces more than 40 types of air defense missiles, ballistic missiles, guided artillery shells, and guided bombs currently in service in the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, South Africa, Israel, Sweden, India and other countries, including the development process, guidance methods, performance characteristics, production and export, actual combat performance, etc.
This book is suitable for military enthusiasts who are interested in guided weapons. It is also an exquisite picture book worth collecting.
