Su-57을 조심스럽게 쓰고 있는 러시아공군

2024년 2월 이후 Su-57을 이용한 스탠드 오프 타격의 횟수를 늘리고 있다고 합니다. 7개월 동안 30발 이상의 순항미사일을 발사했으며, 쿠르스크와 브랸스크의 러시아 영공, 그리고 루한스크 점령지 상공에서 공격을 가하고 있다고 하네요. 

사거리 180마일 이상의 Kh-69 순항미사일을 주로 쏘는 모양입니다.

Russia’s advanced Su-57 Felon aircraft have conducted more than 40 strikes against Ukraine, according to sources within Ukraine’s Air Force.

These stealth fighters have become a more frequent tool in Russia’s aerial campaign, with increased missile strikes recorded since late February 2024.

Although Russia had previously deployed the Su-57 sporadically, the intensity and frequency of its use have grown significantly. In January, the UK Ministry of Defense reported that Su-57s had been used in Ukraine since at least June 2022, but their early deployment was limited. Now, these jets are playing a more active role, often launching strikes from Russian airspace over Kursk and Bryansk, as well as from occupied Luhansk.

In the past seven months alone, Russian forces have launched over 30 cruise missiles from Su-57 aircraft. Among these are the Kh-69 stealth cruise missiles, designed to destroy small, well-protected targets at ranges exceeding 180 miles. One notable strike using the Kh-69 occurred on April 11, 2024, when Ukraine’s Trypillia Thermal Power Plant near Kyiv was destroyed.

The Su-57s are also equipped with the Kh-58USHK anti-radiation missile, capable of targeting radar systems from distances of up to 150 miles, depending on launch conditions.

The Kh-69 is one of Russia’s latest missile systems, first publicly revealed in August 2022 at the Army-2022 military forum. Russia also showcased the missile at the Dubai Airshow in November 2023, describing it as a “next-generation multifunctional, low-visibility, high-precision cruise missile.”

However, international defense analysts argue that the Kh-69 is a modified version of an older missile. Experts from The War Zone note that the Kh-69 likely evolved from the Kh-59MK2 missile, which first emerged in 2009 and shared similarities with its predecessor, the Soviet-era Kh-59MK.

멀티롤전투기를 폭격기 대용으로... 숫자도 적으니 더더욱 폭격기 기분이네요.

KH-69를 내부 무장창에 넣는다고 하네요(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-69)
앞뒤로 두발 정도 넣을 것 같은데, 중국 쪽 매니아(?) 자료는 4발을 추측하고 있네요. (https://mil.in.ua/en/news/russians-use-latest-kh-69-cruise-missiles-to-strike-ukraine/)
