Design works on the Raduga Ch-58 missile began in the early 1970s, but they dragged on and the weapon did not enter the line until 1982. The rocket was developed to destroy the enemy's radar stations - both fixed and mobile. The rocket could and can be carried by the following planes: Su-24M, Su-17, MiG-25BM and MiG-27. Several variants of this missile were created in the course of production, including: Ch-58U (version with improved flight range), Ch-58E (version developed in 1991 for export markets), Ch-58USzKE (TP) (version with improved guidance head , presented in 2015). At present, the Ch-58 missile in various versions is used in countries such as the Russian Federation, Algeria, India and Peru. It was used in combat, for example, during the Russian-Georgian war in 2008.
