The Kh-38/Kh-38M (Russian: Х-38) is a family of air-to-surface missiles meant to succeed the Kh-25 family of missiles.

Design[]

The basic configuration of the Kh-38M was revealed at the 2007 Moscow Air Show (MAKS). The modular guided air-to-surface missile is meant to succeed the venerable Kh-25 missile family. The missile is designed to be carried by the fifth-generation PAK FA fighter aircraft. The missile has folding wings and tail fins for internal carriage, and would have a variety of seeker heads for different variants.^[1]

Variants[]

Kh-38MAE - inertial, active radar homing
Kh-38MKE - inertial, satellite guidance
Kh-38MLE - inertial, laser guidance
Kh-38MTE - inertial, infrared guidance
