The '''Tomahawk cruise missile''' is an [[American]]-made, low-flying [[nuclear]] capable guided missile designed for long-range strikes with a range of up to 5,500 kilometers against land targets. It can be launched from [[naval]] ships or [[submarine]]s and is known for its ability to fly at low altitudes, making it effective in high-risk environments where manned aircraft may be vulnerable.
