Well, the launch locations aren't static/fixed sites. The Kalibr is generally launched by Russian vessels in the Black Sea, and the Kinzhals are launched by MIG-31s. You could try to strike their airbases, or ports, but that's a non-trivial exercise, even for a major power.

- greedo 3y agoThe Gorshkov class frigates are a much tougher nut to crack than the Moskva was. A well orchestrated Harpoon attack might be able to, but Ukraine lacks enough launch platforms (and no aircraft that can safely reach it).
