K-58 Missile
The K-58 missile, also known as the Kh-22, is a Soviet-era air-to-surface missile designed for use against naval targets. Developed in the 1950s, it is primarily launched from strategic bombers like the Tupolev Tu-16 and Tu-95. The missile features a high-explosive warhead and has a range of approximately 600 kilometers, allowing it to strike targets from a safe distance.
The K-58 is notable for its supersonic speed and advanced guidance systems, which enhance its accuracy. It was part of the Soviet Union's efforts to counter naval threats during the Cold War, contributing to the strategic capabilities of its air force.
