Oh and....

With all due respect, you didn't look very hard.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpoon_(missile)
"The regular Harpoon uses active radar homing and flies just above the water to evade defenses. The missile can be launched from:
......
Coastal defense batteries, from which it would be fired with a solid-fuel rocket booster."
As far as I'm aware, only the Danes used it in that role and they binned it in 2003, Taiwan is getting a land based version but I don't think its operational yet. The Argentinians managed to put a couple of Exocets on to a trailer and jury-rig a fire control system for it during the Falklands, however if you want to kill the Russian warship with the thing you will have to unload quite a few missiles at it to get past its defences.
