What it is
The Kh-22 is a Soviet long-range, air-launched supersonic anti-ship missile. The Kh-32 is an extensive upgrade of it, officially accepted into service at the end of 2016; Tu-22M3 bombers are being upgraded to carry it. Both were designed to strike ships.
What it means for you
The missile flies several times faster than sound, so there is little time between launch and impact. When the siren sounds, go to a shelter immediately.
