I'm not completely up to speed on modern cruise missiles, but don't they leave a smoke trail/contrail/etc behind them if they have a conventional propulsion system? Or do they burn fairly clean in flight?
- jcims 6y agoAside from launch where they typically have some kind of boost stage, cruise missiles fly at low altitudes with small turbofan engines. Not much of a visual exhaust signature: https://youtu.be/BGoJl8Lr46g https://youtu.be/BGoJl8Lr46g https://youtu.be/WyeMyhKE5Yw https://youtu.be/WyeMyhKE5Yw
