Missiles

cause they wanted 2 !

yes

JF Kennedy was a part of the Cuban Missile Crisis and negotiated the Soviet withdrawal

As a ballistic missile is one that is only powered on the upward portion of its flight and relies on a sub-orbital arc to then reach its target, it logically follows that a non-ballistic missile is one that is powered throughout its flight: An example of a non-ballistic missile would be the cruise missile which travels horizontally, hugging the terrain, until reaching its target. Both types can be armed with a variety of weapons.

This is why, when talking about guns, you hear the term ballistic, as the bullet is only powered for a short time (while traveling through the barrel of the gun) and continues un-powered to its target. A bullet is a ballistic "missile" (of sorts).

A non ballistic missile is an area where missiles are fired at the enemy. If it is a non ballistic missle, it means that it can harm no one.

The dragon is being phased out in favor of the newer javlin missle but still remains the inventory of both the us army and marines . It is also used by the netherlands.

A cruise missle is a long-ranged tactical guided missle launched from an aircraft, ship, submarine, or land-base launch platform. They are extemley fast and accurate, and are used for precision strikes on military intallations such as command bunkers or air bases.

A cruise missile is not very fast (subsonic) compared with rocket-propelled missiles which do not need wings, but fly on their own forward momentum. A cruise missile is jet-propelled which gives it a much longer range, but it needs small wings to stay in the air because of its lower thrust-weight ratio. The German V-1 of 1944 was the first cruise missile, just as the V-2 was the first ballistic missile. In the 1950's, the US Navy launched V-1s (called Loons) from submarines, but the sub had to proceed to the launch point on the surface. Later, a watertight storage cylinder allowed the sub to proceed to the launch point while submerged, but it still had to surface to launch its Regulus cruise missile. These subs were diesel-electric, and although the nuclear-powered USS Halibut carried Regulus missiles in an internal hangar, it still had to surface to launch them. Today, a USN cruise missile submarine carries multiple Tomahawk cruise missiles in individual launch tubes, but it still must surface to launch them because a cruise missile is an air-breather, unlike ballistic missiles which can be launched from submarines while underwater. [Note: this is incorrect. Cruise missiles can be launched from underwater - they are simply shot out of their tube by compressed air or a small rocket motor. Once they reach the surface, their jet turbine engine is then activated.]

Several countries use cruise missiles, but the USN Tomahawk is the best known. The USAF had its own cruise missile in the 70's, using the B-52 bomber or 747 airliner as a launch platform. Improved technology allows a cruise missile to stay closer to the ground (or water) than the old Nazi V-1, which makes them more difficult to counter. The V-1 could be shot down by fighters or anti-aircraft fire. Their accuracy has also improved. The V-1 simply flew to its approximate target whereupon the motor shut off and it dropped like a bomb; hence the name flying bomb, but a Tomahawk can hit its target with great precision. A cruise missile can be thought of as a kamikaze plane without a pilot. It flies to its target like an airplane and then blows up.

Missiles do not hit Israel every day. This is a misunderstanding.

antitank missile

Technically any aircraft can be shot down with a heat seeking missile, however that is why they have flares and chaff

The missiles could strike US cities from Cuba, which is less than 100 miles away.

If President Kennedy had not made the right decision, it could have meant war with Russia and the missiles being in Cuba, a Russian ally, were extremely close to the U.S. border of Florida.

REF: the sword of Damocles. Uneasy rests the head of state.

Because the missles that were in Cuba were only 90 miles for Florida and could get to Florida in seconds and all the U.S. in minutes.

He didn't back down from them,that's not the answer but thru talks with his advisors and the russian goverment it was known then that there ploy to intimidate the US was a no win situation these were troubling times for americans,and the President acted with just cause to defend a nation that he served proudly for thru his service in the military and as commander in chief to best give an answer to this i suggest you read the book JFK has everything involving what occured during his presidency.

that is completely wrong...

the reason he let of the missile was because he had thougth it would end the war but sadly it didnt

There are may reasons for a steep dive terminal phase , basic advantage is the increased acceleration / precise target acquisition - steep dive evades normal structural hurdles / increased penetration power . For a Ground attach missile , it provide an advantage in hitting low signature , deep protected bunkers. For an Anti Ship missile , steep dive is employed for killing an aircraft carrier in single hit.

After the Bay of Pigs, Cuba needed protection and turned to the USSR. The USSR agreed to place nuclear missiles in Cuba and buy Cuba's sugar which America stopped buying due to the trade embargo. It wanted to place missiles in Cuba as it was only 90 miles away from American soil and the USA had missiles around 90 miles away in Turkey aimed at the USSR.

Yes it did. The US forced Russia to turn their ships back rather than test Kennedy whom they may have feared.

No missiles were used in the Cuban missile crisis. No one fired a one. It was caused by the fact that the Soviet Union had missiles in Cuba aimed toward the United States that caused the crisis.
