Advanced Modeling AMC72235 Kh-29T Short range Air to Surface with TV HH set

The Ch-29 (another designation: AS-14 Kedge) is a modern Russian air-to-ground missile developed during the USSR and also used in Soviet aviation. The first prototypes of the missile appeared in the second half of the 1970s, and the missile entered service around 1980 and is still used by the armed forces of the Russian Federation. In the version of the Ch-29Ł, its weight is 660 kilograms, its length is 390 cm, and its diameter is 38 centimeters. The missile is capable of carrying warheads weighing up to 320 kilograms. The Ch-29 missile was developed in the Mołnija design bureau, but the Wympieł bureau was already responsible for its refinement to meet the requirements of Soviet aviation. From the very beginning, the missile was designed to destroy strongly hardened, sustained enemy resistance points, hence it was assumed that the missile would carry a warhead of considerable mass and significant firepower. It was also developed as a lighter air-to-ground missile: the Ch-25M. There are or were several versions of this missile in service, including: Ch-29Ł (laser guided version), Ch-29D (export version with a thermal imaging head) or Ch-29MŁ (an improved version of the Ch- 29L). The missile can be carried by many Soviet and later Russian-made aircraft, including the MiG-27, Su-22M4 or Su-27. Missiles of this type were used in combat, for example, during the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) or during the civil war in Syria (from 2011).
