It seems I am part right and part wrong about the Russians "Missiles of October"!
From the Washington Post the full and complete dope on those Russian cruise missiles land-attack version the target of which is the combatants of the Islamic State:
"These are the cruise missiles Russia just sent into Syria"
Missiles as fired and as suspected a variant of the Klub!
"The new Kalibr-NK [Klub] cruise missiles all hit within nine feet of their intended targets, the statement said. The strikes landed in Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo provinces, and Russian officials said they destroyed Islamic State positions, including training camps and ammunition depots."
This image stolen unashamedly from the Washington Post.
That warship of the Caspian Sea Flotilla firing the Kalibr-NK missiles the Dagestan. Who needs an intelligence agency when you can read it all in the newspaper?
"The flagship of the strike group, the Dagestan, is 320 feet long and displaces 2,000 tons."
