 The Kh-29T is the most devastating and versatile air-launched guided missile when it comes to ground pounding. The explosive mass is something to be scared of. While smaller than most bombs, this is compensated for by the accuracy of the missile. It has a maximum range of 13,000 metres (6.5 nmi) if the flight ceiling is high enough. It features the same launch crosshair as any other TV-guided weapon, such as the KAB-500r, AGM-65 Maverick, and AGM-62 Walleye. It can zoom in for better target designation. It can lock and track targets but has a similar performance to the KAB-500r. The main downside of the Kh-29T compared to the Kh-29L is the fact you cannot control it post-launch.
-While it has relatively low penetration capabilities (103 mm at any range and angle), any hit will decimate the target due to the tremendous explosive mass it features. Due to the 148.99 kg TNT equivalent explosive mass, the missile is more than capable of destroying more than one target at a time if closely packed. The warhead is also particularly useful when facing off enemy vessels, especially aircraft carriers in Simulator Enduring Confrontation battles. Due to the carriers having actual damage models in a similar style to player-controlled vessels, the use of this missile is more than capable of significantly damaging the carrier. There are multiple hit locations, but the most effective ones are the ones on the engine decks and close to the waterline.

-The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a Soviet TV-guided air-to-ground missile. It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]]. It is a heavy duty Soviet air-to-ground missile, born from a similar fuselage design of the Molniya [[R-60]], a TV guidance system inherited from the Kh-59 cruise missile, and a powerful warhead. It features impressive range and destruction capabilities against a variety of surface targets, giving pilots a heavy duty weapon capable of decimating anything at their path.

-The Kh-29T (9M721) is the biggest air-to-ground missile with its twin sister, the [[Kh-29L]]. It is comparable to heavy duty utility bombs carried by various planes, making it one of the deadliest missiles in-game. It is not only able to take out multiple targets at a time, but also the biggest targets such as battleships and aircraft carriers.
