Since they are no air to air missiles which have to constantly exchange data with the targeting computer of the plane I would imagine that they can be pre programmed with a target and the plane is just a carrier which will fly them to the designated shooting position, release it and say goodbye.
The only thing I am concerned about is that these range examples are measured from the frontlines where Russian air defence is strong. So the planes would have to release those missiles from a safe distance many miles behind the front lines, effectively reducing their range. As long as the pilots aren't absolute daredevils (which some of them admittedly are ) it will be hard to hit the Crimean bridge... but at least it is not impossible anymore.
