Excellent, but I think it will be the main armament of Su-34 and Su-30SM. I'm sure those 300 km range are meant for export customers as domestic missiles have 600 km range for anti-ship missiles and 1500 km range for land attack cruise missiles.

the western zombies are so easy to believe Russia airforce do not have the capabilities
to use precision weapons.. Is the propaganda of the west ,what people needs to shut it down..
Russia have precision weapons and even more precise that the ones NATO have.
But Russia is not going to spend like Americans 1 TRillion dollars in the war.. of IRAQ
using always state of the art their latest missiles.. So if you have plans to go to a war
and try to not spend as much as possible then Russia will use a lot conventional cheap weapons
whenever possible. But as told.. RUssia have missiles the best in the world.. even superior than
the ones NATO have..
take a look for example at brahmos misisle.. no one in NATO ,neither ISrael
have anything close to this..
Super sonic cruise missiles with with direct precision up to 300km away and smart guidance
and self defense capabilities.
And Russia have lazer precision Artillery.. again NATO have nothing like this in service.
can target tanks 30km away on the motion with precision.. So the believe that Russia
airforce needs "something from the west".. when since soviet times they have lazer precision weapons and hypersonic weapons is non sense.
Of course Russia have high precision weapons but you don't use those at all times or will
go bankrupt before a week. fragmentations heavy bombs ,can do the job.. specially in non civilian zones.
brahmos cruise missiles cost about 2 million dollars each.. you cannot use those weapons
all the times.. If Russia have any sanity it will use cheap bombs as much as possible.. specially
to target large area zones that do not require precision.
The SU-34 can use this one
KH-59 inertial guidance (then TV guidance), millimeter wave active radar seeker
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-59
This are not "new" weapons.. many of this cutting edge precision missiles Russia have them
since soviet times..![]()
or this one.. with Laser, active radar, IR, satellite, guidance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-38
SU-34 can also use.. KAB-500L 500lb lazer guide bomb..
Kh-25ML =Laser guidance, passive radar, TV guidance, IIR, Satellite guidance, active radar homing depending on variant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-25
and those are just few examples of the precision missiles that Russia can export..
but there are custom bombs that also Russia have and do not sell.. and is for exclusive use
of Russia federation.
Another lazer guidance bomb that Russia have since the 80s.. that SU-24 can use too..
Kh-29 = : semi-active laser /tv guidance /active homing ,IR..
So there is nothing new.. here.. Russia since the cold war in the 80s have high precision weapons.. this is decades old technology but very precise and effective since soviet times..
naturally because war is not cheap.. and Russia will be paid ZERO.. nothing..not a single cent
for their war against ISIS.. will have to finance all with their own budget in moments that Russia is under economic sanctions from west . Then it makes perfect logical sense that Russia
try to use as much as possible soviet hardware ,even if possible free fall bombs from world war 1.. a bomb is a bomb. and to target jihadist running in the desert you don't need much technology.. (why Su-24 used) and non guided fragmentationsoviet bombs.. as long the pilots are skilled and intelligence good of terrorist locations.. then non guided bombs can be as effective as any lazer weapon.. and cost a lot less. In the end even one bullet or a fragment of a rock is all u need to kill a terrorist. Had Syria did not used what the west calls "barrel bombs" ,that is home made thermobaric bombs..dropped from mi-8 hellicopters.. it will have been impossible for Syria to fight for 4 years and hold in the war.
You only need to look what technology many of the terrorist use to capture military bases..
2-3 suicide bomber trucks filled with 1 ton of tnt.. and a wave of jihadist charging later with
ak-47 and rocket grenades.

Can you explain the exact seeker and how it works?
