update 2015
Although Russia is behind the United States on the use of cruise missiles, but in Syria Russia showed their ability, have more points than the US:
1. Russia used the small vessels, frigates and corvette to launcher Klub missile. TLAM only used by large ships, such as cruisers (CG47), destroyers (DDG51) and battleships (Missouri)


2. Klub is a range of effective advertising than previously Klub for land-attack only about 1000km, TLAM in the Gulf War was not fired from a range as advertised (1000km), the USS Missouri was attacked by the P-15 or HY-2 shore-based anti-ship missile of Iraq fired from coast (about 100km)
