I don't think that we have got the Novator K 100 as there is no confirmation of it except wikipedia which is not the most reliable for all the occations.

There are several things that are not acknowledged

For instance , when IAF inducted some 120 Kh135 Anti Ship Missiles with 285 Km range , in yr 2006 , they did not go ahead and announced that they have , but said that now the Sukhois can support Indian Navy in operations
The General Public only got to know of this missiles when another 80 were ordered by the Navy for its 45 Mig29K/Kub as a side contract along with 29 Mig29K/Kubs
