KH-55 is a compact strategic cruise missile which was adopted for armament in 1983. KH-55 was developed according to the normal aerodynamics scheme with straight folded wing and fins. By-pass jet engine was located on the sliding pylon. The design of the missile was developed in a way to reduce radar and heat detection. Strategic missile KH-55 can reach the target with high accuracy even if it is a great deal remote from the point of missile start. The missiles are carried by the aircraft of strategic aviation - Tu-95MC and Tu-160. In NATO countries KH-55 received code name AS-15 'Kent'.
