The Phoenix Missile
Phoenix Missiles are generally lunched from air-craft such as the F-14. There are many types of missiles used in Operation Desert Storm, including surface -to-ground, air-to-air, air-to-ground, ship-to-air and ground-to-ground. Missiles can carry either conventional warheads (explosives), chemical or nuclear warheads. Range and accuracy varies, from a few feet to several hundred miles as do their capacities for destruction.
