The Zvezda (‘Star’) Kh-35 is a long-range, radar-guided anti-ship missile in the same class as the Exocet. The jet-launched version of the subsonic cruise anti-ship missile can be launched from helicopters or coastal batteries with the help of a rocket booster. It was designated as the X-35Y in Russia and AS-20 Kayak by NATO. Nicknamed ‘Harpoonski’ due to its likeness to the US Harpoon anti-ship missile system, it is designed to attack vessels up to
5,000t.
