520 | _aCruise missiles offer an alternative to their ballistic counterparts. Low altitude and low visibility make them harder to detect and track and thus they have a reasonably good chance of evading U.S. National Missile Defense and Theatre Missile Defense systems. There is strong speculation that China, Iran, North Korea and Pakistan have acquired Sovet era KH-55 cruise missiles either to use or reverse engineer. The KH-55 is described here as the most capable strategic cruise missile in service globally other than US weapons. | ||
