Do you mean Kh-38 as in the tactical AGM or kh-28 as in AS-9 Kyle? Also the ASCC AS-22 Kluge had been attributed to the Kh-555 i.e the upgraded Kh-55. This was referred to in a USAF document and in the 2021 2022 IISS Military balance. They have been known to be wrong but.... I will dig out the references in due course but I vaguely recall someone making the name change request under the old system before we went Github.

Hey there, thanks for the heads up @KLABDB3K Kh-28 was a typo, I meant Kh-38.
