Kh-55
The Kh-55 is a Soviet-designed cruise missile developed in the late 1970s, primarily intended for long-range strategic strikes. It can be launched from bombers and carries either conventional or nuclear warheads. Designed to fly at low altitude and maneuver to evade radar detection, the Kh-55 can target land-based military infrastructure or ships from hundreds of kilometers away. Its stealthy, precise nature makes it a significant component of Russia's strategic missile capabilities, combining speed, range, and payload versatility to influence military balance and deterrence.
