The Kh-101 warhead contains a ring of sealed cylindrical units, these are to provide an incendiary effect.
The units are designated ГЭ30М
The incendiary units are confirmed to be located at the rear of the warhead, they may also be present elsewhere
The units are hermetically sealed without their own fuzing, their initiation is via the warhead detonation
They may be pyrophoric in nature, hence the hermetic seal
