Talk:Kh-69 missile

I wonder if File:Kh-69_Army-2022.jpg or alternatively File:Kh-69_Army-2022_2022-08-20_2322.jpg might not be a better choice for the infobox image than the current File:Kh-69_Army-2022_2022-08-20_2323.jpg. The present choice may look sharp, but for a better view of the missile, complete with stencilled name, maybe those others are better options. The first is a slightly better aspect than the second, but the latter has the wings extended, which might be preferable. Or perhaps someone might want to photoshop a composite – it might also be preferable to remove the background and clearly show the missile against a white background. OTOH, leaving the background in affords a sense of scale often absent from white-backgrounded images. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 06:05, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any word on how acoustically noisy or silent this thing is? It occurs to me that the reported top speed is basically right up to the maximum velocity you can fly without producing any kind of sonic boom. We clearly know they can build supersonic (and hypersonic) missiles, which have their advantages in military terms, but a slower, closely ground-hugging and possibly very quiet missile like this might be essentially unstoppable in its own right, not for reasons of speed per se, but due to your never seeing them coming. This might also make it exceptionally hard to figure out where a Kh-69 was launched from, even after the fact. —ReadOnlyAccount (talk) 06:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
