Is there a stealth cruise missile?
The AGM-129A advanced cruise missile is a stealth, nuclear-capable cruise missile used exclusively by U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress strategic bombers. The AGM-129A is a subsonic, turbofan-powered, air-launched cruise missile.
What altitude do cruise missiles fly at?
Similarly, the target is identified from a stored image. As the TERCOM scans the landscape, the Tomahawk missile is capable of twisting and turning like a radar-evading fighter plane, skimming the landscape at an altitude of only 30–90 metres (100–300 feet).
What is a cruise missile?

Are there any supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles?
Numerous other supersonic and subsonic anti-ship cruise missiles appeared between the 1960s and the fall of the Soviet Union, most of which were conceptually modelled on the air breathing Shaddock, or rocket propelled Styx, even though there were unique designs.
What is the range of the 3m-54e1 missile?
This weapon has a range of 160 nautical miles and is subsonic. The 3M-54E1 uses a Radar MMS designed ARGS-54E series active radar seeker and Glonass satellite and inertial guidance, the ARGS-54E has a cited range of 65 km, and employs a gimballed slotted planar array antenna which is steered ±45° in azimuth and +10° to -20° in elevation.
Does the 3M-80E missile seeker have active radar?
The 3M-80E and 3M-80E1 missile seeker has active radar and passive anti-radiation homing capability [likely band limited by antenna design]. Ability to fly pre-programmed composite profiles comprising high and low altitude segments.
