P-750 Grom
BL-10
AS-19 KOALA
SS-N-24 SCORPION
SSC-5

The P-750 Grom supersonic winged cruise missile with a range of 3000-4000 km was developed for replacing the Kh-55 [AS-15 KENT]. The AS-X-19 Koala was an air-launched land-attack version derived from the SS-NX-24 Scorpion submarine-launched missile. A pair of AS-19 missiles was expected to arm the Tu-142 Bear-H bomber. The missile carried two warheads independently guided to hit two targets 100 km apart. The letters BL in its American designation refer to the firing range in Barnaul, where it was tested; its Russian industrial index designation is not known. Work on the program was suspended in 1992.
