During the full-scale invasion, Russia has significantly modernized the Kh-101 cruise missiles, specifically updating the radar-absorbing coating on the fuselage to reduce their detection range by radar.

This was reported by Colonel Oleksandr Zaruba, chief research fellow at the State Scientific Research Institute of Armament and Military Equipment Testing and Certification, during the event “The Russian Federation’s Use of Air Strike Weapons Against Civilian Infrastructure: Technical and Humanitarian Aspects,” which was attended by a correspondent of Militarnyi.
