The Raduga Kh-15 (NATO reporting name AS-16 'Kickback') is Soviet/CIS short-range nuclear missile carried by bomber aircraft. Produced by MKB Raduga, it is similar in design and purpose to the USAF AGM-69 SRAM used from 1971 to 1991. The bureau designation is RKV-500B. Development of the RKV-500 began in the late 1960s, and it entered service in the early 1980s, carried by the Tupolev Tu-22M and other bombers. Similar in configuration and purpose to SRAM, it is produced in three versions: the Kh-15A, an anti-ship missile with active radar homing; the Kh-15P, a SEAD version with an anti-radiation missile seeker for use against enemy radar sites; and the basic Kh-15 nuclear stand-off missile with inertial guidance. The Kh-15 climbs to an altitude of about 40,000 m and then dives in on the target, accelerating to a speed of about Mach 5. An export version of the anti-ship version has been developed under the designation Kh-15S. ==Specifications== * Length: 4.78 m (15 ft 8 in) * Diameter: 455 mm (19 in) * Wingspan: 0.92 m (3.01 ft) * Launch weight: 1,200 kg (2,645 lb) * Warhead: 150 kg (330 lb) * Guidance: inertial, active radar, or anti-radiation * Maximum speed: approximately Mach 5 * Range: 300 km (185 mi) * Accuracy (CEP): unknown Soviet Cold War air-to-surface missiles Nuclear air-to-surface missiles
