Russia Tests Kh-555 Cruise Missile

May 27, 2005 :: Interfax :: News

Interfax reports that Russia has successfully tested the air-launched, precision-guided, long-range Kh-555 cruise missile. According to Lt. Gen. Aleksandr Rakhmanov, deputy chief of the Russian armed forces’ arms procurement directorate, the missile hit a target at a range of 2,000 km. The Kh-555 is reported to be the conventional version of the nuclear-armed Kh-55/AS-15, and is apparently part of Russia’s plan to convert strategic bombers to handle conventional missions. Sources indicate that the Kh-555 was first tested in 1999, and again in June 2004. (Article)
