What is different between the V1 and V2 rockets?

The V1 was not a rocket, but a flying bomb powered by a simple form of jet engine called a pulse jet. It was equivalent to a modern cruise missile. A V2, on the other hand, was a rocket propelled rocket. The V1 could be stopped with gunfire or by attacks from fast fighters such as the Hawker Tempest, de Havilland Mosquito. The V2, on the other hand was undetectable, as it was fired into the stratosphere and hit its target with a speed higher than that of sound.
