El misil de crucero constituye un caso aparte. Es, en realidad, un pequeño avión de reacción impulsado por un turborreactor con velocidades de 600 a 800 km/h. […] Los misiles de crucero actuales son transportados por un avión que los lanza desde el lugar oportuno y en la debida dirección, pero nada excluye que otros misiles semejantes puedan ser lanzados desde un vehículo terrestre o un barco de guerra. 1, record 1, Spanish, - misil%20de%20crucero
