outranged

Exceeded in distance

Outranged means exceeded in range, typically describing a weapon, vehicle, or system that can strike or reach farther than an opponent's: Their artillery outranged ours by several miles.

In combat contexts, being outranged puts you at a severe disadvantage—the enemy can hit you before you can hit back.

The term appears frequently in military analysis and strategy games.
