Footage obtained and release by RT shows the alleged field tests of the Kh-59MK2 Air-to-Surface Guided Missile system. The test platform was allegedly the Su-57, of which Russia currently owns three.
The Kh-59 "Ovod" is a Russian TV guided cruise missile with a two-stage fuel propulsion system. It has a maximum range of 200km, and comes with several different variants that differ in payload size and missile speed. Primarily, the weapon system is used as an Air-to-Surface weapon system, but it can also be used as an Air-to-Ship weapon system as well.
This footage, which was obtained by Russian State News Outlet RT, shows the deployment of one of these weapon systems in a combat environment. It was allegedly fired from one of Russia's three Su-57 stealth attack fighters.
