I have only ever seen eight (as shown in those pics ) under the wings.

I like the one with the eight shown taking off. I will use that pic in my 1/72 model build and will probably add those eight on the model though they do not come with the kit. But there are after market Russian weapons kits for 1/72 scale and I will buy enough to give me eight of those ASMs.

Russia is using the Arctic as training ground for its newest class of diesel-electric submarines built for the Black Sea Fleet.

Russia has ordered two Ilyushin Il-96-400TZ air-to-air refuelling aircraft from United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has announced.
