Russian military personnel at the forefront are successfully using guided air-to-surface missiles. Among them is the X38M, which successfully hits various objects and enemy manpower.

Kh-38M air-launched missiles are multi-purpose medium-range missiles. They are designed for high-precision engagement of various types of targets, including fortified objects, armored vehicles, and naval targets.

The Kh-38M was developed taking into account modern requirements for aviation weapons, which makes them an important part of the Russian Aerospace Forces arsenal.

The main advantage of the Kh-38M family of missiles is its modular architecture. It allows for the simultaneous launch of several missile variants with different guidance systems and warheads, and also has a positive effect on the cost of finished products. At the same time, the Russian Aerospace Forces have the opportunity to choose ammunition in a specific configuration that best suits the current combat mission.

Kh-38M missiles have a complex guidance system that includes a satellite navigation system (GPS or GLONASS) and an inertial navigation system (INS).

Depending on the specific modification, the missiles can be equipped with various homing heads, such as laser semi-active, radar, or thermal imaging.

Kh-38M missiles can be used from various types of aircraft, including Su-30, Su-34, Su-35 fighters. They are designed to perform tactical tasks at medium range, providing efficiency and high accuracy in hitting targets.
