Kh-35UE
Tactical anti-ship missile

The Kh-35UE tactical anti-ship missile is an advanced version of the Kh-35E air-launched anti-ship missile.

The missile features improved performance: twice the maximum range (260 km); the maximum missile turn angle in the horizontal plane after launch of 130º (against 90º for the Kh-35E); twice the maximum firing altitude (10 km against 5 km).

A combined guidance system using an inertial system, satellite navigation and active-passive radar seeker gives the Kh-35UE better accuracy and higher jamming immunity, as well as a wider range of targets, including in an ECM environment. The new seeker has a lock-on range of 50 km (compared with 20 km for the Kh-35E).

The guidance system: inertial + satellite navigation + active-passive radar seeker.

The Kh-35UE has the same dimensions as the Kh-35E.
