Details on Kh-45 missile here: http://militaryrussia.ru/blog/topic-720.html
After the T-4 was aborted, the Kh-45 project was re-purposed as the main intended armament of the new Tu-160 bomber: https://twitter.com/dnkornev/status/1109855600920444932 . However subsequently it was decided to instead closely copy the US ALCM concept (in fact copying the Tomahawk design rather than the AGM-86), and the Kh-45 was abandoned.

Comments
Information is scarce but the US does have the XB-70 (B-70) entry so I am hoping there can be a Soviet counterpart (ish).
