The Zvezda '''Kh-35''' ({{langx|ru|[[Kha (Cyrillic)|Х]]-35 [[(Cyrillic)| ]]}}, '''AS-20 'Kayak'''') is a Soviet [[turbojet]] [[subsonic flight|subsonic]] cruise<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.enemyforces.net/missiles/kh_35.htm |title=Kh-35 (AS-20 "Kayak") Anti-Ship Cruise Missile |website=EnemyForces.net |access-date=7 May 2017 |archive-date=22 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622060937/http://www.enemyforces.net/missiles/kh_35.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[anti-ship missile]]. The missile can be launched from helicopters, surface ships and coastal defence batteries with the help of a rocket booster, in which case it is known as '''''Uran''''' ('Uranus', '''SS-N-25 'Switchblade'''', [[GRAU]] '''3M24''') or '''''Bal''''' ('''SSC-6 'Sennight'''', GRAU 3K60). It is designed to attack vessels up to 5,000 tonnes.<ref name="Rosoboronexport" />

==Development==
The previous anti-ship missiles made in USSR were highly capable, but they also were large and expensive. Therefore, the Soviet Navy found that a similar, small and very low flying missile would be useful. This new system was planned as small, cheap, and easy to install missile for a variety of platforms. This new system, called 3M24 Uran (in western nomenclature, SS-N-25) was originally meant for small surface combatants such as frigates, like the [[Krivak-class frigate|Krivak]], Gepard and Neustrashimy. It was the answer to western missiles like the US [[Harpoon (missile)|Harpoon]]. Informally, it was also known as 'Harpoonski', as it was broadly comparable, especially in appearance, with the American missile.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/as-20.htm |title=Zvezda Kh-35 |website= military today |access-date=2022-04-14}}</ref> 

The initial development started in Zvezda-Strela State Scientific-Industrial Center (GNPTs) group in 1972 or 1977, depending on the sources.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.military-today.com/missiles/kh_35.htm |title=Zvezda Kh-35 |website=globalsecurity.org |access-date=2022-04-14 |archive-date=16 April 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220416000612/https://www.military-today.com/missiles/kh_35.htm |url-status=usurped }}</ref> Zvezda received the official go ahead to begin work on the Kh-35 in 1983-1984 by a decree of the [[USSR Council of Ministers]] and the USSR [[CPSU Central Committee]] to arm ships of medium tonnage.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

Test launches began in 1985, but there were several problems and failures with the miniaturized active radar system.  It was first displayed in 1992 and listed as only being intended for export, when it was, in fact, not yet for production. In 1994 India ordered Uran missiles (the Kh-35E export variant). This led to the full development, and deliveries started to the Indian Navy in 1996. Russia adopted it only in 2003 (for ships), and 2004 (Bal, coastal system). The air-launched variant (originally made for Indian Il-38SD patrol aircraft) was completed in 2005 and later deployed on Russian Federation aircraft.

The KH-35 can be considered the successor to the [[P-15 Termit|SS-N-2 Styx]] missile, albeit much smaller and more modern. It boasts greater range than legacy missile systems, and is much cheaper than other contemporary anti-ship missiles like [[Kalibr (missile family)|Kalibr]] or [[P-800 Oniks|Oniks]], costing an estimated $500,000 USD per missile.

==Design==
[[File:Seeker Kh-35E maks2005.jpg|thumb|left|Cross-section of the active radar homing head of a Kh-35E missile at [[MAKS (air show)|MAKS]] 2005]]
[[File:Kh-35E maq maks2009.jpg|thumb|Kh-35E model at MAKS 2009]]

The Kh-35 missile is a subsonic weapon featuring a normal aerodynamic configuration with cruciform wings and fins and a semisubmerged air duct intake. The propulsion unit is a [[turbofan]] engine. The missile is guided to its target at the final leg of the trajectory by commands fed from the [[active radar homing]] head and the [[radio altimeter]].<ref name="Rosoboronexport">{{cite web |url=http://www.rusarm.ru/cataloque/air_craft/aircraft.pdf |title=Aerospace Systems Export Catalogue |website=[[Rosoboronexport]] |page=123 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071030213111/http://www.rusarm.ru/cataloque/air_craft/aircraft.pdf |archive-date=2007-10-30}}</ref>

Target designation data can be introduced into the missile from the launch aircraft or ship or external sources. Flight mission data is inserted into the missile control system after input of target coordinates. An [[inertial]] system controls the missile in flight, stabilizes it at an assigned altitude and brings it to a target location area. At a certain target range, the homing head is switched on to search for, lock on and track the target. The inertial control system then turns the missile toward the target and changes its flight altitude to an extremely low one. At this altitude, the missile continues the process of homing by the data fed from the homing head and the inertial control system until a hit is obtained.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

The Kh-35 can be employed in fair and adverse weather conditions at [[sea state]]s up to 5–6, by day and night, under enemy fire and electronic countermeasures. Its aerodynamic configuration is optimized for high subsonic-speed [[sea-skimming]] flight to ensure stealthy characteristics of the missile. The missile has low signatures thanks to its small dimensions, sea-skimming capability and a special guidance algorithm ensuring highly secure operational modes of the active radar seeker.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}

Its ARGS-35E active radar seeker operates in both single and multiple missile launch modes, acquiring and locking on targets at a maximum range of up to 20&nbsp;km.<ref name="ktrvkh35">{{cite web |url=http://eng.ktrv.ru/production/military_production/anti-ship_missiles/kh-35e.html |title=Tactical Anti-Ship Missile Kh-35E |website=JSC [[Tactical Missiles Corporation]] |access-date=8 October 2015 |archive-date=24 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200524130954/http://eng.ktrv.ru/production/military_production/anti-ship_missiles/kh-35e.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> A new radar seeker, Gran-KE has been developed by SPE Radar MMS<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.radar-mms.com/catalog/args35/ |title=Радиолокационная Головка АРГС-35Э |trans-title=ARGS-35E Radar |language=ru |website=Radar-MMS |access-date=2011-09-09 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716145147/http://www.radar-mms.com/catalog/args35/ |archive-date=2011-07-16}}</ref> and will be replacing the existing ARGS-35E X band seeker.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://navaltoday.com/2011/08/26/jsc-tactical-missile-arms-presents-new-target-seeker |title=Russia: JSC Tactical Missile Arms Presents New Target Seeker |date=26 August 2011 |work=Naval Today |access-date=23 December 2014}}</ref>

==Operational history==
The Kh-35 missile entered service with Russian Navy only in 2003. In July 2003, the system created by the "[[Tactical Missiles Corporation]]" passed the state tests and began to come into service of ships of the Russian Navy. It has also been acquired by India.<ref name="Janes">{{cite journal |url=http://www.janes.com/extracts/extract/jalw/jalw9048.html |title=Kh-37 |journal=Jane's Air-Launched Weapons |date=2008-08-01}}{{dead link|date=April 2010}}</ref> The Bal coastal missile system showed excellent results in state tests in the fall of 2004, and entered service in 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://old.nationaldefense.ru/1437/1440/index.shtml?id=3456 |title=Бал-Э» принят на вооружение |trans-title="Bal-E" is put into service |language=ru |website=National Defence |access-date=23 December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131112185749/http://old.nationaldefense.ru/1437/1440/index.shtml?id=3456 |archive-date=12 November 2013}}</ref> The tests of the upgraded Kh-35UE missile were completed as of June 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tass.ru/interviews/11732617|title=Глава КТРВ Обносов: мы разрабатываем новое морское оружие России|website=tass.ru}}</ref>
