Yeah, but without info on where it's getting launched from and where it's
supposed to go, the cruise missile is going to be completely lost on
exiting the launch tube.

Russian version of GPS (Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System, or
GLONASS).

Here's info on the missile itself:

From above:
The onboard control system includes a barometric altimeter
used to maintain altitude in terrain-following mode
(making the weapon stealthier than designs which rely on
radar altimeters), plus a receiver for the Glonass satellite
navigation system.

Also, why not add a couple of GLONASS antennas to the top of the shipping
container? If a hand-held GPS (e.g. iPhone) can work inside a car, why not
behind a concealed antenna "window" on the top of the shipping container?
