According to Defense Express, citing publications from other specialized publications, Russia is likely to launch the X-69 into mass production in February 2013. As of September, this missile was still undergoing flight testing.
The X-69 is a repackaging of the X-59MK2, analysts say. The missile allegedly reaches subsonic speeds, has a warhead weight of 310 kilograms, a range of up to 290 kilometers, and is “universal” for aircraft such as MiG-29K and MiG-35, Su-34 and Su-35.
At the same time, according to experts, there is currently no convincing evidence that the Russians used the X-69 from a Su-57″ aircraft, and that the very fact of using such missiles is only the occupiers’ desire to test the capabilities of the X-69 in a real combat situation.
