Russians adapted Iskender missile into Air-to -Surface missile even Anti-Ship Missile.
When the ballistic missile launching from aircraft, it doesnt need to climb vertically, thus there is less athmoshpheric resistence. It leads increasing range . Of course active radar seeker enables to engage big ships.
We are looking forward to seeing our BORA's with Active Seeker under F4s.
Kinzhal Missile
Kh-47M2 Kinzhal ("Dagger") is a high-precision hypersonic aero-ballistic missile unveiled by Russian President Vladimir Putin on 1 March 2018 as one of the six new Russian strategic weapons. It has a range of more than 2,000 km (1,200 mi), Mach 10 speed, and an ability to perform evasive maneuvers at every stage of the flight. It can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads. Footage showed the missile being launched by MiG-31. It is already deployed at Russia's Southern Military District airbases.
The missile accelerates to hypersonic speed within seconds of launch and performs maneuvers at all stages of the flight trajectory to evade enemy missile defenses.
It appears that Kinzhal is an adaptation of the Iskander missile.
It will burn up the fuel in 2 minute...
