Is that one of the missiles that took down the Ukraine airliner?

That one sure went into the memory hole.

No. That’s a surface to surface missile.

No, that’s a surface launched cruise missile, intended to attack a surface target. It’s likely some development of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RK-55

What took out the Ukrainian airliner was a surface-to-air battery’s missile, most likely a Tor missile system vehicle firing a 9K330/331/332 missile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_missile_system
