| Source measurement | The Kh-69 ( Cyrillic : Х -69) (NATO reporting name: AS-22 'Kazoo' ) is a Russian stealth subsonic air-launched cruise missile . It was developed from the Kh-59 missile, and has a range of at least 400 km (250 mi). It has a reduced radar signature compared to its forerunners.[source]Kh-69 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The missile is reported to weigh under 800 kg (1,800 lb) and is reported to cruise at speeds of up to 1,000 km/h (620 mph). It can use either a cluster or a penetration warhead, weighing around 300 kilograms (660 lb).[source]Kh-69 · Technical characteristics; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Kh-69 uses GPS and GLONASS for guidance, with inertial backup. The missile is reportedly able to fly at an altitude as low as 20 meters above ground level , which greatly contributes to its low radar observability. An electro-optical seeker was reported in 2022 to round out the sensor suite.[source]Kh-69 · Technical characteristics; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
