The Kh-55 (Russian: Х-55; NATO:AS-15 ‘Kent'; RKV-500;) is a Soviet/Russian air-launched cruise missile designed by MKB Raduga. It has a range of up to 2500 km (1350 nmi) and can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. Kh-55 is launched exclusively from bomber aircraft and has spawned a number of conventionally armed variants mainly for tactical use such as the Kh-65SE and Kh-SD but only the Kh-101 and Kh-555 appear to have made it into service.
