I propose a new mechanism for explanation of nonthernal X-ray emission of
large-scale AGN jets. Namely, I assume that this radiation has synchrotron
origin emitted by extremely high energy protons, and discuss implications of
this model for several prominent hot spots and knots resolved by Chandra in
Pictor A, 3C 120, PKS 0637-752, 3C 273.
