Kh-101
A precision-guided, air-launched cruise missile produced in Russia. Once launched, the Kh-101 has a potential range of more than 2,500 kilometres and may deliver one of a variety of warheads, including 450 kg unitary high explosive, cluster, or penetrating types (a nuclear payload is available for the Kh-102 variant). The Kh-101 employs a low-altitude flight profile and uses radar-absorbent composite materials to reduce the chance of detection.

Rocket or Missile Ukraine Kh-101
Analyst Note:
This image shows the three lenses that form the new version of the Kh-101 Digital Scene Matching Area Correlator (DSMAC) system. (The older version only had a single lens.) DSMAC systems take digital images of the ground as the missile passes overhead, and then compare those images to pre-captured images stored in the onboard memory. The DSMAC corrects the flight path as needed based on differences between the two sets of images. (ARES)

Rocket or Missile Ukraine Kh-101
Analyst Note:
This image shows the second warhead present in some variants of the Kh-101 cruise missile. The inclusion of this additional warhead requires a smaller fuel tank in the missile, offering increased explosive weight in exchange for a reduced maximum range. (ARES)
