Russian aviation has begun to actively use high-precision Kh-38 air-to-surface missiles. Kh-38 missiles can be used by Ka-52 helicopters and fourth- and fifth-generation fighters, most often they are used by Su-34 aircraft. The Kh-38 missile was developed by the Russian Tactical Missile Weapons Corporation in 2012 and is designed to destroy a wide range of targets: from armored vehicles to surface ships. The Kh-38ME family of missiles are modular, they can be equipped with warheads weighing up to 250 kg and various homing heads. Guidance of all missile modifications is combined - on the cruising section, the missile is controlled by an inertial control system, and on the final section of the trajectory it switches to homing.
Kh-38MLE - missiles with laser homing head
Kh-38MKE - missiles with GLONASS navigation
Kh-38MTE - missiles with thermal imaging homing head
Kh-38MAE - missiles with active radar homing head
Based on the results of use, the most effective version, the Kh-38MLE missile, has a laser homing head, the target is usually illuminated by a UAV. The missile can have a penetrating warhead, high-explosive fragmentation, or cluster, modification of the Kh-38MKE. The flight range of the Kh-38 missile is up to 70 km, when launched from an altitude of 12,000 meters. When launched from low altitude to 27 km.

In contrast with the battle between PAF and IAF, VVS’s actions in Ukraine seems just boring and backward, nothing but old planes and old concepts. Su57 is rarely used just like some decoration in contrast with F35s in IsraelAF’s hands. Sigh…

The United Aircraft Corporation has handed over another batch of new Su-35S multirole fighters to the Russian Defense Ministry. This is the second batch of Su-35S fighters this year; the number of aircraft is not reported. The Su-35S aircraft, generation 4++, have undergone a full cycle of factory tests, were tested in various operating modes and flew to their home airfield. The Su-35S, thanks to its powerful radar, can illuminate targets for long-range air defense; it can be used to combat the F-16 at a long distance. New batches of Su-34, Su-35S and Su-57 aircraft are currently in production. Su-35S.
