Raduga Kh-15
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.Development of the Kh-15 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-radar seeker for use against enemy radar sites; and the basic Kh-15 nuclear stand-off missile with inertial guidance.
