KSR-5 is a highly supersonic, liquid fuel, long-range cruise missile derived from Kh-22 and designed for use on the Tu-16 medium bomber as a replacement for KSR-2. Kh-22 was originally designed for the massive Tu-95 Bear strategic bomber. Armed with a conventional or nuclear (KSR-5N) warhead KSR-5 is suitable against ships, radar sites (KSR-5P) and land targets.

The United States and NATO refer to this missile as the AS-6 Kingfish. Its guidance system is based on inertial navigation, pre-programmed flight, in-flight command updates through radiofrequency and active radar homing seeker when utilized against ships. KSR-5 was also provided to the T-22M Backfire medium bomber in the 1970s.
