Tu-95MS (X-101)
The Kh-101 (Russian: Х-101; NATO reporting name: AS-23 "Kodiak") is a Russian air-launched cruise missile which operates at a maximum of Mach 0.8. Designed in the 1990s, it underwent testing in the 2000s and entered service in the 2010s, seeing use in the Syrian Civil War and the Russo-Ukrainian war.The Kh-102 is a strategic version of the Kh-101, armed with a nuclear warhead; it has not been used. In the late 1980s work began on a replacement for the Kh-55 cruise missile, with either conventional (Kh-101) or nuclear (Kh-102) warheads and greater stealth. The new missile was designed by Igor Seleznyev of Raduga.The importance of advanced missiles as "force multipliers" increased as Russia’s fleet of available cruise-missile bombers declined in the early 1990s.The cancellation of the ambitious Kh-90 ramjet missile due to the INF Treaty in 1987 led to a renewed emphasis on improving on the Kh-55, in particular to achieve the <20 m accuracy required to hit infrastructure targets with conventional – as opposed to nuclear – warheads. The first flight of the Kh-101 was in 1998, and evaluation trials started in 2000.
The first tests were conducted in 1995 and the missile was accepted for service in 2012.The first pictures of the Kh-101 appeared in 2007.
