Andwinged missile Ultra-high-definition multi-tasking, first shown during the Military Forum "Army-2022" Currently in Moscow, it is in the category of tactical missiles "air-ground".

as that "Kha- 59" or "KH59" Intended to destroy a broad spectrum of fixed ground targets, including those that cannot be identified by radar and visually due to the background of the terrain, according to the agency. "Dice" Russian.

Last April, the Ukrainian News Agency reported, an explosion occurred after the launch of the… Russian forces A cruise missile on a city OdessaAnd confirmed that the missile is a Kh-59, which caused damage to the agricultural project area and warehouses in the Ukrainian city.

as he used it the Russian army In the Ukrainian city of Nikolaev, according to the site "Russia Today" who said that "The highly accurate KH-59MK2 air-to-air missile, designed to hit various ground targets".

This missile has excellent tactical technical specifications that allow it to carry out tasks even in conditions of limited visibility, according to "Military Watch" American military.

awesome abilities

missile "KH59MK2"also called "KH 69"It is equipped with installed navigation and autonomous driving systems, and it may be installed outside the aircraft or in its interior section.

According to . magazine "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" Russian, the extent of the work missile 290 kilometers, and a speed of 700 – 1000 kilometers per hour.

One of the features of the missile is that it is equipped with two combat heads; One main and one auxiliary, weighing 40 kg, explode before the main filling explodes, with a total weight of 300 kg to 310 kg.

Its total weight is about 900 kilograms, its wingspan extends at a distance of 1.3 meters, its length is 5.7 meters, and its body diameter is 380 millimeters.

And in order to avoid air defenses The missile flies at a very low altitude, with a turboprop engine weighing about 82 kilograms, and it is suitable to be equipped with almost all Russian field planes that can launch it from a height of 200 meters to 11,000 meters.

And last year, the Russian Air Force equipped the missile with a combat head capable of penetrating concrete installations, destroying fortified command centers and killing those in them.

The researcher in military affairs, Mina Adel, says: "American JSAW cruise missilesjasam‘European missile’ScalpShe was sitting on the throne of missiles, but with the appearance of "KH59MK2" or "KH 69" He underestimates the importance of this, because it represents a qualitative transfer in the manufacture of Russian cruise missiles because it has a stealth-class design, as these missiles are now at the top of development, because they hit any target that is difficult to target with conventional missiles.".

Add to site "Sky News Arabia"it’s a "With the distinctive design of the new missile with a very low radar signature and transonic speeds, it is easy to control to penetrate the most powerful air defense networks, and to control it to fly in variable paths with the aim of maneuvering, choosing the best directions and timing of the attack on highly fortified and protected targets.".

And he adds: "The KH-59 will be very suitable for arming the new generation fighters So- 75 AndSo- 57as well as drones of the “Okhentik” model, which makes it compete with the same type of American and European missiles.".

Mina Adel continued, saying: "It combines in its composition the class of hypersonic and hypersonic missiles, and thus it is a lethal combination for the most powerful targets to be destroyed even with the development of defense organizations located on land or mobile at sea".

Andwinged missile High-precision, multi-tasking, which was demonstrated for the first time during the current “Army-2022” military forum in Moscow, is in the category of “air-to-surface” tactical missiles.

Also, “Kha-59” or “KH-59” is intended to destroy a wide range of fixed ground targets, including those that cannot be recognized by radar and optical due to the background of the terrain, according to the Russian “TASS” agency.
