10 Most -Powerful- Cruise -Missile -in -the -World -2020

 Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high precision. cruise missiles of today are even capable of traveling at supersonic or high subsonic speeds and are self-navigating and are able to fly on a ballistic extremely low altitude trajectory the cruise missiles in the world we've picked the 10 best of them all and this list is based mainly on the quality performance guidance systems types of a warhead and many more

Number 10

RGM-84 HARPOON BLOCK-2   this is a ship-launched all-weather over the horizon anti-ship missile length is 4.6m/ 15ft its low-level sea-skimming cruise trajectory active radar guidance and warhead design assures high survivability and effectiveness to strike targets on land and ship stationed in port the missile employs GPS aided inertial navigation the 500-pound penetration high explosive blast warhead provides the missile with enough firepower to destroy coastal defense and surface-to-air missile sites aircraft port or industrial installations and dock chips.maximum speed is 0.7 Mach operational range is 280km/ 170miles

Number 09

RBS-15 MK-3  it is a long-range fire and forget surface to surface an air-to-surface anti-ship missile which has the ability to attack land targets as well the RBS-15 guidance and control systems include an inertial navigation system and a GPS receiver a radar altimeter and the KU-band radar target seeker the missile can be equipped with 200/kg an optimized heavy high explosive blast fragmentation warhead and this resistance of enemy countermeasures length is 4.3m/14ft the speed and range of these missiles are over Mach 0.9 and 250 kilometers 

Number 08

Stand-Off- Missile (SOM)  is equipped with an imaging infrared seeker and an inertial measurement unit for high precision guidance the missile is highly effective against moving land and surface targets high-value stationary targets strategic assets shelters exposed aircraft hangars and commands and control centers length is 3.6m/11.8ft as well as sea surface threats the som's maximum speed is Mach 0.94 and has a range of 180 kilometers it is operable under all weather conditions and also in hostile environments 

Number 07

 NAVAL STRIKE MISSILE (NSM)  which is an anti-ship and land-attack missile developed by the Norwegian company Kongsberg Defense and aerospace length is 3.95m/12.9ft the missile is made up of composed materials meant to give the missile sophisticated stealth capabilities the stealth design of the NSM allows the anti-ship missile to penetrate into shipboard defenses the missile using GPS aided mid-course guidance with the dual-band imaging infrared seeker detects and discriminates the targets the missile will weigh slightly more than 400 kilograms and have a speed of Mach 0.7 to 0.9 and a range of more than kilometers 

Number 06

AGM-86B- ALCM  which is an American subsonic air launch cruise missile built by Boeing and operated by the united states air force this missile was developed to increase the effectiveness and survivability of the Boeing b-52h Stratofortress strategic bomber it is guided with litten inertial navigation system element with intercom updates during a flight this system compares surface characteristics with maps of the planned flight routes stored in onboard computers to determine the missile's location as the missiles nears its target comparisons become more specific guiding the missile to target with pinpoint accuracy the AGM-86b ALCM traditionally carries a 200 kiloton w81 nuclear warhead for a distance of approximately 2 500 kilometers it is 6.32 meters in length and 1 458 kilograms in weight

Number 05

STORM -SHADOW   this is a long-range air-launched stand-off attack missile designed and developed by France-based MBTA systems the missile is equipped with fire and forget technology and is intended to strike high-value stationary assets such as air bases radar installations communication hubs and port facilities the navigation system of the missile includes inertial navigation GPS and terrain reference navigation for better control over the path and accurate target strike the storm shadow is capable of engaging the targets precisely in any weather conditions during day and night and is able to penetrate deep into hard rock targets.lenght is 5.1m/16.9ft maximum speed is 0.8 to 0.9 Mach operational range is 560km/360 miles.

Number 04

TOMA-HAWK- BLOCK-4  this is a long-range all-weather jet-powered cruise missile that is primarily used by the united states navy and royal navy in the ship and submarine-based land-attack operations the tomahawk block 4 uses GPS navigation and satellite data link to continue through a preset course the guidance system is assisted by terrain counter matching the missile can be armed with a nuclear or unitary warhead or a conventional submunitions dispenser with combined effect bomblets it can strike high value or heavily defended land targets.length is 5.56m/18.2ft maximum speed is 0.74 Mach operational range is 1700km/1000 miles.

Number 03

P-800- ONIKS  this is a Russian supersonic anti-ship cruise missile developed by NPO machine Australian as a ramjet version of p80 Zuber it is guided with mid-course inertial guidance active radar homing passive radar seeker head the p800 has two different ways it can approach its target it can fly just above the sea the whole way which decreases its range to 120 kilometers but reduces its radar visibility or it can start out flying high and dive towards the target this method gives the p800 a maximum range of 300 kilometers some sources also state that the p800 has a range of 600 kilometers.length is 8.9m/29.1ft its maximum speed is Mach 2.5 which may travel too fast for close-in weapon systems.

Number 02

3M-54- KALIBR  this is a group of Russian surface ships submarine launch and airborne anti-ship and coastal anti-ship land-attack cruise missiles and anti-submarine missiles developed by the Novator design bureau it is guided with inertial guidance plus terminal active radar homing and tur com DSM-ac this missile is a modular system with five versions two anti-shipping types one for land attack and two anti-submarine types the 3M-54-kalibr missiles are capable of performing very high angle defensive high-speed maneuvers in contrast to the common linear flight path of other anti-ship cruise missiles length is 6.2 to 8.9m/20.3 to 29.2ft maximum speed is 0.8 to 2.9 Mach

Number 01

BRAHMOS  is a supersonic cruise missile being developed by a joint venture between India and Russia it is guided with active radar homing GPS global orbiting navigational satellite system and GPS aided geo augmented navigation satellite guidance the ship and land-based Brahmos missiles can carry a conventional semi-armor-piercing warhead of 200 kilograms while the aerial variant can carry a 300-kilogram warhead these missiles can intercept surface targets as low as 10 meters in altitude Brahmos can reach a maximum speed of Mach 3 which is the world's fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation the hypersonic version of the Brahmos missile is under development and it can travel at a speed of Mach 5 to Mach 7 and it will be the fastest hypersonic missile in the world when fully developed
