According to the article, "[[Rocket engine|Rocket-powered]] missiles are known as ''[[rocket]]s'' if they lack post-launch guidance or ''missiles'' or ''[[guided missile]]s'' if they are able to continue tracking a target after launch." It follows that missile and guided missile are the same thing. Therefore I believe the articles should be merged, otherwise a casual reader will get the impression that they are two different things. --[[User:Zvika|Zvika]] 08:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC) |

The first words of the article are: a missile is a projectile propelled as a weapon at a target. |

I believe that this description fits a bullet as well, which is why i have changed it to:a missile is a self-propelled, explosive projectile used as a weapon towards a target. |

- There are two main systems: vectored thrust (for missiles that are powered throughout the guidance phase of their flight) and aerodynamic maneuvering (wings, fins, canards, etc).
Actually, both of these are aerodynamic maneuvering since they both rely on redirecting fluid movement.
67 kilo warheads
According to the article, all guided missiles carry 67 kilo warheads. This is simply no true!! The weight of a missile varys greatly from missile to missile. I've deleted that statement in the article.
Merge with Guided missile
According to the article, "Rocket-powered missiles are known as rockets if they lack post-launch guidance or missiles or guided missiles if they are able to continue tracking a target after launch." It follows that missile and guided missile are the same thing. Therefore I believe the articles should be merged, otherwise a casual reader will get the impression that they are two different things. --Zvika 08:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
