The second generation tactics air-to-ground missile of the Soviet Union (Russia) where Kh-25 (Х-25, NATO code name AS-10 Karen) was developed from the end of 1960s through the 1970s. I seem to be an improved version of Kh-23/66Grom (NATO code name AS-7 Kerry) and resemble closely very much. I comprise modular-type guidance controls, and, as for the range, 10km is [¹]. The derivation model of anti-radar missile specifications (Kh-25MP) is known as AS-12 Kegler in NATO, and, as for the range, up to 40km is [²]. Kh-25 designed by Zvezda-Strela is a model derived from Kh-23 (AS-7 Kerry) of laser guidance specifications. The Kh-38 series of the succeeding model inherits it, but Kh-25 is used widely now, too.

Development

Beam riding instruction-type Kh-66 that the air-to-air missile that use was started in 1968 was developed for the cause was air-to-surface missile for the first tactics plane for the Soviet Union [⁵]. However, it was necessary for the plane to make nose dive at the time of discharge, and use was accompanied with difficulty. Kh-23 which was an electric wave command guidance-type derivation model was examined for the first time in 1968, but I had a problem to guidance controls and needed five years by an operational start [⁶]. Therefore the work of the derivation model of the cicada active laser seeker was started in 1971 and became Kh-25 [⁵]. This was known as Kh-23L at first in the Western countries [⁷]. An examination was started on November 24, 1974, and a mass production contained Kh-25 from 1975 [⁵]. The work of the derivation model of anti-radar missile specifications from ^[5]Kh-66 using the passive seeker and SUR-73 automatic pilot was started in 1972 [⁴].

Kh-31 of the long range vs. the radar missile was done from the same plan, too [⁵]. I put the examination of Kh-27 on MiG-27 and was made a start [⁵] on August 8, 1975, but the operational start was September 2, 1980 [⁵]. The NATO identification name was AS-12 Kegler and rearranged Kh-28 (AS-9 Kyle) [⁴].

I started work to integrate Kh-23M, Kh-25 and Kh-27 with a single modular system that "Victor Bugaiskii" which was a chief engineer of the design station reduced an expense in 1973 and increased flexibility of the tactics [⁵]. This work was completed at the end of 1978 [⁵], and, as a result, Kh-25MP (anti-radar), Kh-25ML (laser guidance) and the Kh-25MR (electric wave instruction) series were possible. NATO appointed these sequentially now as AS-12 and AS-10 though I could easily change a seeker head.

Design

Kh-25 resembles a latter term model of Kh-23 closely in a canard and a wing of the cruciate very much.

A homing head is it in 1VP and 2VP2 kind, and Kh-25MP vs. the radar missile receives different frequency [²].

Operational results

Archetypal Kh-25 was put on MiG-23, MiG-27, Su-17M in Soviet Union Air Force for from 1973 to 1975, and use was started [³].

Thereafter it is confirmed to be used in MiG-21, MiG-29, Su-17/20/22 series, Su-24, Su-25, Su-27 [³]. A helicopter such as Ka-50 is equipped even with equally.

I can put Kh-25MP on MiG-23/27, Su-17/22, Su-24, Su-25 [⁴].

Version

NATO appoints all Kh-25 series except the anti-radar use as AS-10 Karen. "M" is abbreviation of the "Modulnaya" - module (seeker).

Kh-25 (Izdeliye 71, Kh-23L)

A laser guidance type to become the model.

Kh-25ML

Kh-25MAE

It was for update of Kh-25MA, and the export of specifications equipped with the seeker of the Ka- band in August, 2005 was announced. PSM of Phazotron company has the ability that the tank of the 4,000m (4,370 yd) distance is caught, and it is estimated that I am used for Kh-25MA [⁸].

Kh-25MS

It carries GPS or GLONASS satellite guidance controls [³].

Kh-25MSE

With an export of Kh-25MS type, I was announced in August, 2005 [⁸].

Kh-25MT

Kh-25MP (AS-12 Kegler)

The module type vs. the radar missile [⁴].

Kh-25MPU (AS-12 Kegler)

Improved Kh-25MP^[4].

As for the training bullet, "U" is appointed. There are the following models in Kh-25ML

Kh-25MUL

Kh-25ML^[1] for the fight war training.

Kh-25ML-UD

A missile [¹] for the function training.

Kh-25ML-UR

A missile [¹] for the partial training.
