The SS-N-15 has a very odd launch envelope. You, not the target, must be between 50m and 150m and not going faster than a certain speed (4kts, I think, but I'm not certain) in order to launch it properly. Otherwise, it malfunctions. The SS-N-27ASW doesn't share the launch envelope, so it can be fired from above 50m.

Could that be it?
