Kh-31PK is a modification of the Kh-31P missile, fitted with a proximity fuse and a payload of increased efficiency.
The Kh-31 PK air-launched guided missile is a tactical high-speed weapon with passive radar seekers. It is designed to efficiently engage radars, including those with antenna arrangements offset upwards (up to 15 m), that make part of medium-range and long-range air defence systems and other ground-based radars operating in corresponding frequency bands.
The missile may be fitted with passive radar seekers operational in corresponding frequency bands of continuous and pulsed mode radars of anti-aircraft artillery and missile systems.
Missile’s sufficiently long range makes its employment especially efficient at standoff ranges where its carrier can stay out of reach of hostile air defence systems. When launched within the effective range of such systems in duel situations the missile still has an edge due to combination of high speed and autonomous guidance.
Kh-31PK arms frontline aircraft in conditions of permanent and field airdromes. It may be exported as part of armaments suites of modern combat aircraft.
