Which missile is primarily designed for land attack?

The Tomahawk missile is primarily designed for land attack due to its long-range cruise missile capabilities and versatility. It is specifically engineered to strike ground targets with precision, making it an effective choice for attacking enemy installations, infrastructure, and other strategic points on land. The Tomahawk can carry a variety of warheads, including conventional explosives or nuclear payloads, depending on the mission requirements.

On the other hand, the Harpoon missile is mainly an anti-ship weapon, designed to target naval vessels. The Standard Missile is primarily used for air defense and intercepting incoming threats, not for land assault. The Sea Sparrow is another air defense missile designed to protect ships from aerial threats, also not intended for land attack. This distinguishes the Tomahawk as the missile specifically developed for engaging land targets.
