Kh-32 () is a Russian supersonic air-launched cruise missile with a range of 600–1000 km developed by the MKB Raduga from the Kh-22. The missile was accepted to service in 2016 as armament for the Tu-22M3M bombers.
== History == Work on the modernization of the Kh-22 missile began in the Soviet Union during the late 1980s, due to vulnerability to ECM of its guidance radar operating at fixed frequencies. When an enemy is using radar jamming, the Kh-22 has very low probability of success.
