why they use this kind of munition? they have air superiority, why not regular bombs like laser guided or GPS guided ones?

If mechanical failure plane can crash over enemy territory and pilot captured and executed. So they use stand off missiles and shoot from Latakia airspace. That way the pilot won't be captured and executed if plane crashes.
