A cruise missile is 1930's tech??
- jacquesm 3y agoTechnically a V1 is a cruise missile if you stretch the definition a bit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-1_flying_bomb
- georgeecollins 3y ago1944 v-1 is I think the first cruise missile. In ww2 the Germans had guided anti ship missiles and the US had aa shells with very simple radar.
- fooker 3y agoCruise missiles are for targets many hundreds of kilometers away. These just have to make it from the shores of the Red sea to the middle, a considerably shorter distance than what cruise missiles are really meant for. These are more like howitzers with self propelled projectiles. These are much simpler than cruise missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-propelled_artillery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-propelled_artillery
