Interesting post about the new weapons Austin.... thanks for posting.
Regarding new lightweight missiles... the Kh-38 is described as being a replacement for the Kh-25 and Kh-29 missiles, but I think it would be a better replacement for the Kh-29 than the 25s which were half the weight with a smaller payload suitable to lighter targets.
The article mentions a new lightweight anti radiation missile... presumably in the Kh-25MP type role I would assume, so with other guidance options this same weapon could be adapted to a range of uses similar to the Kh-25 series weapons, but I suspect the LMUR sounds a bit like the laser guidance package UGROZA adapted to existing ATGMs... perhaps LMUR is for existing and near future ATGM and UGROZA is for current and near future unguided rockets. that would make LMUR useful for all platforms with the modular guidance and aiming system fitted.... which should be all UCAVs, and helicopters and strike aircraft and enable hard point targets to be engaged and light aircraft with HEAT, HE Frag and anti aircraft payloads used, while UGROZA will enable the mass carriage of light rockets from 80mm calibre through 122mm and 320mm calibre to be used to extended ranges against point and area targets.
The article recently posted about the laser aiming system developed by KRET that had multi targeting capability should allow an area target to be engaged with multiple guided laser homing rockets to maximise the effectiveness of their warheads and fragmentation patterns negating the need for new guided missiles with ranges of less than 10km.
Pointy nose generally means supersonic, flat boxy nose generally means subsonic and in this case stealthy.

Why two cruise missile one pointed nose and one boxy nose , whats the difference ? Also what that chart in Russian says ?
Pointy nose generally means supersonic, flat boxy nose generally means subsonic and in this case stealthy.

Look again. 
I wouldnt really count sensors, those change a lot all the time. And that is not sensors on the intake sides, that is stealthy bleed grids. And that is not the side AESA panel, it is a panel next to it.
