At the same time, the missile can be attached to weapon stations of other planes.
"This is a derivative of the Kh-58USh [NATO reporting name: AS-11 Kilter] anti-radar missile, which was delivered in large quantities earlier," Yarmolyuk said.
"The missile’s homing head and other characteristics, in particular, the data library of radars, make it close to the Kh-31PD [AS-17 Krypton] anti-radar missile," he added.
"These missiles are mutually complementary. The advanced missile has good prospects and I believe it will be delivered to many countries," the first deputy CEO said.
