High altitude supersonic cruise combined with a winged glide bomb gives a really long stand off range.

The Russian SA-10/12 class air defense missiles complexes were just made obsolete.

The radars for these complexes are good, but if they cannot localize and target an American stealth aircraft at ranges less than this bomb can reach, they are dead the moment they radiate.

That is fascinating. Are the SA 10/12 class the most advanced Russian missiles?
