Conventional precision-strike weapon

Conventional precision-strike weapon systems were first employed in significant numbers by the USA during the 1990–91 Gulf War. They have matured significantly since then, enabled by a combination of improved guidance, advances in warhead technology, and vastly better intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities. Furthermore, whereas the USA possessed the vast majority of these weapons at the end of the cold war, many states now have or are planning to acquire them in large numbers. Although precision-strike systems have numerous functions in conventional warfare, they can also impact strategic stability and nuclear deterrence dynamics. This is because they can threaten nuclear-related targets such as hardened missile silos and command-and-control nodes to a much greater extent than their predecessors. สล็อต
