Hellfire is an air-to-ground, laser guided, subsonic missile with significant antitank
capacity. It can also be used as an air-to-air weapon against helicopters or slow-moving
fixed-wing aircraft.

The AGM-86B air-launched cruise missiles and AGM-86C conventional air-launched cruise missiles
were developed to increase the effectiveness of B-52H bombers. In combination, they dilute an
enemy's forces and complicate defense of its territory.

Tomahawk cruise missiles are designed to fly at extremely low altitudes at high subsonic speeds,
and are piloted over an evasive route by several mission tailored guidance systems. The first
operational use was in Operation Desert Storm, 1991, with immense success. They can be
launched from surface ships and submarines.
