REVISTA Militară. STUDII DE Securitate și Apărare PRECISION GUIDED MISSILES: ANALYSIS Veaceslav PERJU1 The general data are presented related to the certain types of the precision guided missiles (PGMs) produced in China, India, Israel, Russia, Turkey and USA. The analysis of PGMs was made concerning the guidance technologies, range of activity, destination, platform launch, speed and precision of target hitting. Keywords: precision, guidance, missile, range, destination, platform, launch, target, hitting.
