Russia`s defense industry will upgrade the Kh-101 air-launched cruise missile (ALCM) that made its combat debut in the Syrian operation, the Director General of the Tactical Missiles Corporation (Russian acronym: KTRV, Korporatsiya Takticheskoe Raketnoe Vooruzhenie), Boris Obnosov told the Rambler News Service.

"We are enhancing certain specifications of the Kh-101 ALCM in order to increase the missile`s range and precision," Obnosov said.

According to the open sources, the Kh-101 air-launched cruise missile has a combat weight of 2,400 kg (including a warhead of 400 kg), a length of 745 cm, and a speed of Mach 0.6-0.78. The missile can be equipped with high-explosive (HE), penetrating, or cluster warhead. Kh-101 is integrated with the Tu-160 (NATO reporting name: Blackjack) and Tu-95MSM (Bear-H) strategic bombers of Russia`s Aerospace Forces (Russian acronym: VKS, Vozdushno-Kosmicheskie Sily).

Russian defense analysts suppose that the Kh-101 ALCM has an operational range of 5,000 km, a cruise speed of 700-720 km/h, a maximum speed of 970 km/h, and an endurance of flight of 10 hours. The new cruise missile is believed to be able to correct its flight trajectory. The analysts of IHS Jane`s suppose that the Kh-101 ALCM has a circular error probability of no more than 6 m. The missile is widely believed to have a low radar signature.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
