Kh-101

How would one create a separate article for the Kh-101? It has entirely different specifications and far vaster capacity than what is claimed in this wiki, and ther's already a detailed wiki on the Russian side. MicroBalrog (talk) 01:01, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Translate article about https://ru.wiki.x.io/wiki/Х-101 it's not like kh-55, it'something another, something new// https://ru.wiki.x.io/wiki/Х-101 Different outfit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igzjX1IKULw (0:07) and huge amount of launched rockets (48 launches from tu-160 in 27-30 nov 2015 range)// 1:00, 06 November 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.108.195.143 (talk) 00:56, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

cruising altitude

either the altitude in meters or in feet is correct, can someone correct this please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.18.205.146 (talk) 21:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Iran

Who says Iran bought Kh-55's from Ukraine? Any sources (there's something wrong I can't open the given link)? thanks, Bogdan 20:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Ukrainian government :-) - there's now a link to the FT article that broke the story. The one debatable one is whether two Kh-55's reached Pakistan at the same time - it seems a common meme but I can't track down a decent source for it.Le Deluge (talk) 19:27, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Features

The article says: "The small, winged [...]missile". Since the Kh-55 is later claimed to be over 8m long, I assume it is meant instead that the missile has small wings. Could someone clarify what was actually meant? Laschatzer (talk) 12:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Warhead weight

How large is the payload —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.167.107.251 (talk) 22:13, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

About the reported accuracy and reliability of missiles.

About the accuracy and reliability of missiles. A July 2022 study published by the Royal United Services Institute for Defense and Security Studies (UK) titled "Ukraine at War: Paving the Road from Survival to Victory" denies what the The International Institute for Strategic Studies says, according testimonies from Ukrainian military specialists and inspection of missile components during fieldwork. On page 21 it says (quote) "Briefings by the Pentagon have reported that a large number of Russian cruise missiles fail to either find their targets or malfunction and crash in flight. As far as Ukrainian military scientists can determine, this is actually quite rare." (text highlighted by me). This source talks more about the topic and has references to other sources, I think it can be used in this and other articles. 152.207.201.170 (talk) 02:00, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Kh-101/102

The article should be split - Kh-101/102 are completely different missiles, unrelated to Kh-55. Pibwl ←« 06:20, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support – completely different indeed, agree with the proposal.

Sizzler removed from lead

Both have formed the basis of post-Cold-War missiles, in particular the Sizzler which has a supersonic approach phase.

I don't know what "basis of post-Cold-War missiles" precisely means (probably should be punctuated as "post–Cold War" with an ndash) and I don't know why we're talking about a different missile, not yet introduced, by only its NATO reporting name.

Once fixed, this sentence could be returned to lead. — MaxEnt 01:06, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

"If it cruises at 700 km/h for 10 hours wouldn’t that make its range 7000 km?"

Someone on reddit made this point. DMBFFF (talk) 23:29, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

If you're asking in the context of "can we put that in the article", no, that would constitute original research by synthesis unless it's already stated by a reliable source (which "someone on reddit" is not). If you're asking just in a technical sense, no, because the flight trajectory isn't a flat straight line. The missile is maneuvering as it travels, either to hit waypoints or frequently when at terrain-following altitudes, which reduces the overall range. During parts of it's flight profile where it's at high altitudes with thin air, it has better endurance and performance than it does flying 30m off the ground, where it's far less efficient.⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 00:52, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
