Whether there is a invade in a region or a country is experimenting with tensions, the names of these two types of missiles come to the fore. The question is, what is the difference between these missiles?
Suppose you are in a fast moving train or car and in such a case you remove the window glass and stick your arm outwards then you will feel strong air pressure on your arm.
Imagine if a vehicle traveling at a speed of two hundred or two hundred and fifty kilometers was exposed to such air pressure, how much friction would a missile flying at a higher speed be subjected to air friction?

This is the basic difference between a cruise missile and a ballistic missile. That is, a cruise missile flies over the surface of the earth and reaches its target under the pressure and friction of the air, while the ballistic missile, like the first rocket, comes out of the surface of the earth like a rocket and hits its target from there.
That is, cruise missiles fly in the style of jet engines like ships, while ballistic missiles travel like rockets. Both of these types of missiles have their own pros and cons, so their use is targeted.
Cruise missile
Cruise missiles are aimed at a single target and are considered more effective than ballistic missiles in hitting their target precisely.
Cruise missiles are used to hit the target very accurately |
A cruise missile is a guided missile that moves towards its target at a constant speed and is capable of hitting its target very accurately.
All of these can have sonic, supersonic and hypersonic speeds and are usually used for pulse jet engines, RAM jet engines or supreme jet engines. Under normal circumstances, a cruise missile carries only one weapon, which is usually a conventional or non-nuclear weapon.
Ballistic missile
Compared to cruise missiles, ballistic missiles can be launched for one or more targets. Their main types include short range, medium range, intermediate range and intercontinental range.
Rocket engines are used for ballistic missiles, which first launch the missile out of the ground or air.
That way, the missile would not be exposed to air friction.
After reaching the very top, it is sent back to the earth and due to the gravitational attraction of the ground, it gains extreme speed.
Ballistic missiles first reach the surface of the earth via rocket engines |
Ballistic missiles can carry mostly conventional as well as non-conventional nuclear weapons and are also used to target multiple locations simultaneously.
Ballistic missiles, like cruise missiles, may not hit the target very precisely, but they can still reach the target with great accuracy.
