The Kh-90 GELA is a Soviet and Russian air-to-surface hypersonic missile designed by the Raduga design bureau, developed from the beginning of 1980 as a successor to the Kh-45, which never entered service. It was intended to replace subsonic intermediate-range missiles in the Soviet inventory, carried a one-megaton thermonuclear warhead, used inertial navigation with mid-course data-link updates, and had a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers. It was shown to the public at the MAKS Airshow in 1995. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
