The
KH-23 appears to be no better then the U.S. "
BULLPUP" as far as the guidance system or performance achieved.
The
KH-25ML was the better designed missile and purpose built to
take out fortifications, bunkers and armor. I would think given the "
field of view" it's accuracy
would be degraded against a
moving target.
Like all missiles
generally, it's about the
Guidance System,
Warhead (Or if you will and as used in a couple of the refs,
Penetrator.) and
Payload and, in this case I've
seen nothing to indicate that the payload is anything other then
HE.
In my "
way of business" I've not looked at anything WiKi for reasons stated many times in the past, however, the below refs. are the best I can find outside of those others. I should think they should be enough for now.

From the above ref.:
"...instead an additional warhead weighing 24 kg to supplement the 113 kg warhead in the front, was placed in its tail section..."
Add on: I forgot to add that some of these missiles were limited to what
aircraft could carry them by missile designation.
For perspective and contrast:
The following to again make the my points (Less the penetrator. See below.) from
Para. 2 above (And again
HE. The
aluminum is to
contain and stabilize the other two ingredients until detonated by the fusing system. That's what the
Warhead is made of.)

Also just added:
KH-15 primarily designed to carry a nuclear warhead,
two conventional designs later followed. This obviously of the same "
KH" family of missiles.

I hope this helps.
