Kh-22Air-launched supersonic anti-ship cruise missileSide: RussiaBuilt: MKB Raduga / Soviet UnionThe Kh-22, NATO reporting name AS-4 Kitchen, is a large Soviet-era air-launched cruise missile built for long-range attacks on carrier groups and other major targets. Designed by Raduga for bomber carriage, it combines a liquid-fuel rocket motor, supersonic speed, and a very large conventional or nuclear warhead. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Russia has repurposed the missile family for land-attack strikes, where its anti-ship guidance heritage and heavy payload make it especially destructive when used against urban targets.Tag archive

Kh-59Air-launched tactical cruise missileSide: RussiaBuilt: Raduga Design Bureau / Tactical Missile Armament Corporation / Smolensk Aviation Plant / Soviet Union / RussiaThe Kh-59 Ovod is a Soviet/Russian air-launched tactical cruise missile family developed by Raduga for standoff strikes from tactical aircraft. Later Kh-59M, Kh-59MK, Kh-59MK2, and Kh-59MKM variants added turbojet propulsion, larger warheads, anti-ship or land-attack guidance options, and longer range. Russia has used Kh-59-series guided air-launched missiles during the Russia-Ukraine War as part of mixed missile and drone attacks.
Zolfaghar BasirAnti-ship short-range ballistic missileSide: IranBuilt: Iranian missile industry / Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force / IranZolfaghar Basir is Iran's anti-ship derivative of the solid-fuel Zolfaghar ballistic missile, adding an optical terminal seeker to a roughly 700 km-range Fateh-family airframe for maritime strike and deterrence missions in the Persian Gulf and surrounding waters.
HarpoonCoastal and anti-ship cruise missile systemSide: UkraineBuilt: The Boeing Company / United StatesHarpoon is a U.S.-origin all-weather anti-ship cruise missile family built around active radar terminal homing and sea-skimming flight. In the Russia-Ukraine War, Ukraine received land-based Harpoon coastal defense systems and adapted truck-launched RGM-84 missiles to threaten Russian surface ships operating near the Black Sea coast..jpg?width=480)
Abu MahdiLong-range anti-ship cruise missileSide: IranBuilt: Aerospace Industries Organization / IranAbu Mahdi is an Iranian long-range naval cruise missile associated with the Soumar/Hoveyzeh cruise-missile family and adapted for maritime strike. Iranian sources describe it as a domestically built anti-ship system for fixed or mobile launchers, while CSIS lists the Abu Mahdi variant with a reported 1,000 km range and turbojet propulsion.
KalibrSea-launched land-attack cruise missile familySide: RussiaBuilt: Novator Design Bureau / RussiaKalibr is a Russian family of ship- and submarine-launched cruise missiles, including the 3M-14 land-attack variant known to NATO as SS-N-30A. Its long range, naval basing, and conventional or reported nuclear payload options make it a central Russian Navy strike weapon, and Russian forces have repeatedly used Kalibr missiles in the Russia-Ukraine War for deep strikes against Ukrainian targets.
Ra'adSubsonic anti-ship cruise missileSide: IranBuilt: Iran Aviation Industries Organization / IranRa'ad is an Iranian subsonic anti-ship cruise missile developed from Chinese Hai Ying/Silkworm technology for coastal and naval strike missions. CSIS describes it as a 350 km-class, ground- or sea-launched weapon with a heavy high-explosive payload, inertial navigation, and a terminal seeker intended for sea-skimming attacks against surface targets.
Kh-32Supersonic air-launched anti-ship and land-attack cruise missileSide: RussiaBuilt: Raduga JSC, Tactical Missiles Corporation (KTRV) / RussiaThe Kh-32 is a Russian supersonic air-launched cruise missile derived from the Kh-22 family and built for long-range strikes against ships and fixed ground targets. Carried by Tu-22M3-series bombers, it combines high-altitude flight, inertial navigation, and terminal radar homing, making it part of Russia's long-range missile strike inventory used against Ukraine.
P-800 OniksSupersonic anti-ship cruise missileSide: RussiaBuilt: NPO Mashinostroyenia / RussiaThe P-800 Oniks is a Russian supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, also associated with the Yakhont export variant and Bastion coastal launch systems. Designed for high-speed attacks against naval targets, it has also been used by Russia as a land-attack weapon against southern Ukraine, where its speed and low terminal flight profile complicate interception.
R-360 Neptune / Long NeptuneTruck-launched anti-ship and land-attack cruise missileSide: UkraineBuilt: State Kyiv Design Bureau Luch / UkraineThe R-360 Neptune is a Ukrainian truck-launched cruise missile developed by State Kyiv Design Bureau Luch as a coastal anti-ship system and later adapted into longer-range land-attack variants. In the Russia-Ukraine War it became one of Ukraine's most visible domestic precision-strike weapons, first for Black Sea targets such as Moskva and later through the Long Neptune / Neptune-D family reported with a 1,000 km reach.
