The Tomahawk missile is a long-range, precision-guided cruise missile developed by the United States. Primarily used by the U.S. Navy and Royal Navy, it is launched from ships and submarines to strike land targets with high accuracy. The missile can travel hundreds of miles, navigate complex routes, and deliver various types of warheads. Tomahawk missiles have been used in several conflicts since the 1990s, valued for their ability to strike strategic targets while minimizing risk to personnel. Their guidance systems use GPS, inertial navigation, and terrain mapping to ensure precise targeting.
