For coping with such tasks the supersonic Kh-31 missiles may be employed. A dozen upgraded and newly-developed types of cruise missiles were provided for the ground forces and the Navy in 2015.

Russian forces launched a Kh-31 guided missile from the occupied Luhansk region, an Iskander-M ballistic missile from occupied Crimea, and 17 Shahed-131/136 attack UAVs from Cape Chauda.
