What is the nickname for the AGM-114 missile system?

The AGM-114 missile system is commonly known by the nickname "Hellfire." This designation reflects the missile's role as an air-to-ground weapon designed primarily for use against armored vehicles, fortifications, and other high-value targets. The Hellfire missile system is notable for its precision and effectiveness, often being deployed from helicopters, drones, and some fixed-wing aircraft.

The name "Hellfire" has become synonymous with the missile's destructive capability and has led to its reputation in military operations, particularly in engagements involving close air support and anti-tank operations. Other missile systems, like the Griffin or Maverick, have their own specific uses and characteristics, and the HARM (High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile) is focused on targeting radar systems, which distinctly differentiates it from the capabilities of the Hellfire.
