Difference between Cruise missile and Strategic Defense Initiative

Cruise missile vs. Strategic Defense Initiative

A cruise missile is a guided missile used against terrestrial targets that remains in the atmosphere and flies the major portion of its flight path at approximately constant speed. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) was a proposed missile defense system intended to protect the United States from attack by ballistic strategic nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles).

Similarities between Cruise missile and Strategic Defense Initiative

Cruise missile and Strategic Defense Initiative have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Ballistic missile, Cold War, Cruise missile, Intercontinental ballistic missile, Missile, Nuclear weapon, Soviet Union, Thermonuclear weapon, United States Air Force, V-2 rocket, World War II.

Ballistic missile

Thermonuclear weapon

A thermonuclear weapon is a second-generation nuclear weapon design using a secondary nuclear fusion stage consisting of implosion tamper, fusion fuel, and spark plug which is bombarded by the energy released by the detonation of a primary fission bomb within, compressing the fuel material (tritium, deuterium or lithium deuteride) and causing a fusion reaction.
