Ch-29 (AS-14 Kedge) - an anti-surface guided missile developed in the USSR in the mid-1970s. In the early 1970s, the Molniya design bureau (this bureau specialized mainly in air-to-air missiles)
Originally designed for the MiG-27 aircraft, Su-17 and Su-24, but over time it was used on other types of aircraft. It is designed to destroy heavily armored targets (more than half of its weight is the warhead).
The AKU-58 pylon is used to mount the missile on the aircraft, from which the missile is detached before the flight engine is ignited.
Versions:
Ch-29L (model 63) - uses semi-active laser guidance. The target can be irradiated from either a carrier aircraft or another airborne or ground-based irradiator.
Ch-29T (model 64) - uses a TV-sensor warhead with automatic homing to a target designated by the pilot.
Ch-29D - uses a warhead with an ifrared sensor
Tactical-technical data:
Length: 3875 mm
Diameter: 380 mm
Width: 780 mm
Weight: 657 kg (Ch-29T - 680 kg)
Warhead weight: 317 kg
Max. 600 m/s
Effective range: 8-10 km
Aircraft carriers: Su-17M3, Su-25T, MiG-27M, Su-24M, Su-34, MiG-33, Su-35
