Description

The Kh-29T missile (scale is approximate)


The Kh-29T is a Soviet TV-guided air-to-surface missile. It was introduced in Update "Direct Hit". It is a heavy duty Soviet air-to-ground missile, born from a similar fuselage design of the Molniya R-60, a TV guidance system inherited from the Kh-59 cruise missile attached to a powerful warhead. It features an impressive range and destruction capabilities against multiple targets on surface, giving pilots a heavy duty weapon capable of decimating anything at their path.

Vehicles equipped with this weapon

General info

The Kh-29T (9M721) is the biggest Air-to-Ground missile with his twin sister, the Kh-29L. It is comparable to heavy duty utility bombs carried by various planes, being one of the deadliest missiles seen in game. It is not only able to take multiple targets at a time but also able to take the biggest targets such as battleships and aircraft carriers.

Effective damage

The Kh-29T is the most devastating and versatile air-launched guided missile when it comes to ground pounding. The explosive mass is something to be scared of. While smaller than most bombs, the accuarcy of the missile is something to be aware of. It has a maximum range of 13,000 meters (6.5 nmi) if flight cieling is high enough. It features the same launch crosshair of any other TV guided weapon, such as the KAB-500r, AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-62 Walleye. It has the ability to zoom in for better target designation. It is able to lock and track targets but has a similar performance of the KAB-500r. The main downside of the Kh-29T compared to the Kh-29L is the fact you cannot control it post-launch, meaning once fired, it is gone forever.

While it has very low penetration capabilities (103mm at any range and angle), any hit will decimate the target due to the tremendous explosive mass it features. Due to the 148.99kg TNT equivalent explosive mass, the missile is more than capable of destroying more than one target at a time if closely packed. The warhead is also particularily useful when facing off enemy vessels, specially aircraft carriers in Simulator Battles: Enduring Confrontation. Due to the carriers having actual damage models in a similar style player control vessels damage models, the use of this missile is more than capable of significantly damaging the carrier. There are multiple hit locations, but the most effective ones are the ones on the engine decks and close to the waterline.

Comparison with analogues

  • Kh-29L: While being the same missile, the different seeker makes the same weapon to be used in a different way.
  • AS-30L: The Kh-29T is much better than the Nord in multiple ways, not only it is faster, has a bigger warhead and better penetration but it also has an increased guidance time: 40.0 seconds vs 22.0 seconds
  • AGM-65A/AGM-65B: Between the AGM-65A and B Mavericks and the Kh-29T, there are multiple pros and cons between them. While Maverick has a much longer range, guidance time and can be carried in sets of 3 instead of a single missile, it is much slower, smaller and weighs less than half of the Kh-29T.
  • AGM-65D: Similar to the other Mavericks, the main advantage of the D variant is the IR seeker, which strongly improves the designation range compared to the Kh-29T.

Usage in battles

Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • The biggest and most powerful air-launched missile
  • Devastating warhead
  • Incredible speeds for a missile its size
  • Significant range compared to other air-to-ground missiles

Cons:

  • Hard to designates targets due to the lack of thermals
  • Any disrubtion in the enviorment means the missile will no longer track the target (smoke, bushes, etc etc)
  • No post-launch control

History

Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
