The power of the Kh-38 super missile

Photos published in the media on June 9 show the consequences of a precision strike by the Russian military using Kh-38 missiles on the command post of Kiev forces in the direction of Kharkov.

And recently, on June 13, another video was made public showing the Kh-38 super missile “sweep wing, swing wing” attacking a multi-story building used by the Ukrainian army. Currently, the location of the target attack has not been revealed.

The Russian Kh-38 air-to-surface missile has a range of 40km and carries a 250kg warhead. The basic version of the Kh-38 missile is guided via an inertial navigation system with GLONASS support. Other versions add a semi-active laser, active radar and infrared imaging seeker.

This missile also served as the basis for the development of the Kh-36 Grom-E1, a tactical cruise missile with a range of 120km, and the Kh-36 Grom-E2, a guided glide bomb with a range of 50km.

The Kh-38 missile is typically launched by the Su-34 fighter-bomber. However, the missile can be launched by other Russian Aerospace Forces fighters including the MiG-29, Su-30, Su-35, and Su-57. Recent reports have even revealed that the Kh-38 missile can be launched from upgraded Ka-52 helicopters.

The Russian Aerospace Forces mainly used precision-guided missiles to destroy key positions of Kiev forces, important bridges near the front and high-value military equipment such as radars and air defense systems.
