Kh-22 Anti-Ship Missile

The Soviet Kh-22 was a large air-launched missile developed for long-range attacks, especially against important naval targets. It became associated with Tupolev bombers carrying it beneath the fuselage or wings. Different versions and guidance arrangements existed, so a general Kh-22 label does not define one universal targeting system. Its development reflects Cold War concern with attacking heavily defended fleets at distances beyond ordinary aircraft weapons. Its size shaped the bomber and handling arrangements needed to carry it. Nuclear and conventional attack concepts associated with the wider family reflect the strategic environment in which Soviet naval air weapons were developed. Its NATO reporting name was AS-4 Kitchen.
