long-range missile
Faraway target striker
A long-range missile is a weapon capable of traveling great distances—typically hundreds or thousands of miles—to strike targets far from its launch point.
The category includes intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and cruise missiles used in strategic warfare: The treaty limited deployment of long-range missiles.
Range thresholds vary by military classification, but the term generally implies targets beyond a regional theater of operations.
