The Raduga Kh-28 (Russian: Х-28, NATO reporting name: AS-9 Kyle) was a Soviet anti-radiation missile.
The missile was developed for use on the Yakovlev Yak-28 fighter-bomber using features of the Kh-22 and KSR-5 weapons.[1] It entered production in 1971 and was used on Sukhoi and Tupolev bombers but not on the intended Yak-28. Before launch, the missile guidance system is programmed to track the target radar frequency by the Metel electronic warfare suite carried in an external container (Su-7B, Su-17, Tu-22M) or by the internal Filin suite (Su-24).[1]
