The difference is the Kh-41 version is air launched instead of ship launched.
Aktungbby
01-16-21, 02:48 PM
These destroyers displace around 6,600 tons with a basic load, but that can grow to nearly 8,500 tons with a full combat load. The primary armament of the ships were eight P-270 Moskit supersonic anti-ship missiles, also known as the SS-N-22 Sunburn to NATO. They could also carry up to 48 3S90 Uragan surface-to-air missiles, the navalized version of the 9K37 Buk, also referred to by NATO as the SA-N-7 Gadfly.

Not a CV either and I'm beginning to wonder if you/Buddahaid actually know about this because I certainly didn't until yesterday.
I'm seriously impeded from any meaningful clue because each and every one would most likely be a giveaway.
Hmm...scrapped before 1950
