Kh-59MK2

The Kh-59MK2 is a stealth air-launched, fire-and-forget, highly subsonic cruise missile featuring an improved engine which provides a maximum range in excess of 290 kilometers. Its guidance system combines automatic inertial navigation and terrain recognition with one or more target's area pre-programmed in the flying mission. It is intended to destroy a wide range of stationary targets with no radar or infrared signatures as well as troops and equipment placed in a wide area. The engine is placed inside the main body making the weapon more compact and favoring its stealth profile. The existence of the stealth Kh-59Mk2 cruise missile developed by Raduga, part of Tactical Missiles Corporation, was revealed in October 2015. The Kh-59MK2 cruise missile can be released from altitudes between 200 meters and 11 kilometers. The missile is lighter than the Kh-59Mk, features angular, compact airframe and stealth coating to minimize its radar signature and folded wings to fit into inner weapons bays. It is capable of engaging ground targets in adverse weather conditions, day/night. The missile's maximum range is 290 kilometers but the Russian Air Force variant maximum range may exceed that figure. The Kh-59MK2 missile flies at altitudes between 50 and 300 meters with a circular error probable (CEP) of 3 meters. It can be armed with either a blast fragmentation or a cluster munitions warhead depending of the target. The Kh-59MK2 missile program was canceled, re-designed and received the Kh-69 designation.
