Sipri reported that Malaysia have about 150 KH-31As... and we assume that Malaysia didnt buy any missile from Ukrain because they dont report to Sipri like the honest Russian.. snip snip

The Kh-31 (Russian: Х-31; AS-17 'Krypton') is a Russian air-to-surface missile carried by aircraft such as the MiG-29 or Su-27. It is a sea skimming cruise missile with a range of 110 kilometres (60 nmi; 70 mi) or more and capable of Mach 3.5, and was the first supersonic anti-ship missile that could be launched by tactical aircraft.

There are several variants, it is best known as an anti-radiation missile (ARM) but there are also anti-shipping and target drone versions. There has been talk of adapting it to make an "AWACS killer", a long-range air-to-air missile. (this are probably bullshit though.. )

In many respects the Kh-31 is a miniaturised version of the P-270 Moskit (SS-N-22 'Sunburn') and was reportedly designed by the same man.The missile is conventionally shaped, with cruciform wings and control surfaces made from titanium. The two-stage propulsion is notable. On launch, a solid-fuel booster in the tail accelerates the missile to Mach 1.8 and the motor is discarded. Then four air intakes open up and as in the Franco-German ANS/ANF the empty rocket case becomes the combustion chamber of a kerosene-fuelled ramjet, which takes it beyond Mach 4.



Malaysian KH-31.. the actual numbers or version are unknow.. is it the P version? or the A version?



Arguably the most advance version of su-30ever made.. or at least on par with the India Air Force MKI. ATSC has completed 200 hours check on RMAF’ Su-30MKM (M52-18) more will receive the same treatments.
