Engineering:Kh-BD
From HandWiki
The Kh-BD is a new, long-range air-launched cruise missile developed by Russia, reportedly arming its Tu-160 strategic bombers.[1][2][3][4][5] It is believed to have a range exceeding 6,500 km (4,000 miles)[6] and is believed to be an evolutionary development of the Kh-101/102 missiles. The Kh-BD is designed for low observability and is likely to utilize inertial guidance with Doppler radar and terrain map updates for navigation.
