🇷🇺 Kh-31P
Air · Taktik Füze Korporasyonu (KTRV / eski Zvezda-Strela), Rusya · 1988 (Kh-31P) · 2012 (Kh-31PD seri üretim)
The Kh-31P is a Russian high-speed anti-radiation missile; its integral ramjet drives it to Mach 3+ to strike enemy radars before they can react — Russia's main air-launched SEAD weapon.

- Warhead: 87 kg (Kh-31PD: 110 kg) HE/warhead
- Guidance / seeker: Inertial + passive radar (anti-radiation) seeker head
- Carrier aircraft: Su-35, Su-30MK, Su-24M, MiG-29/31 etc.
Beats: AGM-88 HARM (ABD) — Kh-31P daha hızlı (Mach 3+ vs ~Mach 2), radar operatörüne kaçış payı bırakmaz, ALARM (Birleşik Krallık) — daha uzun menzil ve süpersonik ramjet hızı; ALARM emekli oldu, Kh-25MP/eski ARM (Rusya) — modernize PD/PM versiyonları çok daha uzun menzilli ve daha geniş bantlı arayıcı
Loses to: AGM-88E AARGM (ABD) — milimetrik dalga + GPS ile radar kapansa bile hedefi vurur; Kh-31P'nin pasif arayıcısı radar sönünce kör kalır, AGM-88G AARGM-ER (ABD) — daha uzun menzil ve ağ-merkezli hedefleme; Kh-31 ailesi bu yetenekten yoksun, Sovyet kökenli elektronik — modern frekans-atlamalı/aralıklı yayan radarlara karşı kilitlenmesi daha zor
The Kh-31P uses a rocket-ramjet (four mid-body intakes are its signature) to reach Mach 3+, shrinking the radar operator's reaction time. The Kh-31PD variant extends range and updates the seeker. Like all anti-radiation weapons it is countered by emission control, redundant passive sensors and point defense. It arms Su-30/34/35 and MiG-29/35 family aircraft.
