A missile is launched from a piloted aircraft primarily due to a command from the pilot or an automated system, often in response to a threat or mission objective. The aircraft’s targeting systems lock onto a designated target, allowing the missile to be guided accurately. Additionally, the aircraft may be equipped with specific launch mechanisms that release the missile at a designated moment, ensuring optimal trajectory and effectiveness. Factors such as mission type, engagement rules, and operational protocols also influence the decision to launch.
