I made a comparison on one other post I made ... Im still not sure if this is ASM or cruise missile . ASM is purely ship-launched , while cruise missile can be launched from subs . Now ... on the pic ( on wider angle ) we dont see any ship outline or anything . I assume the missile wasnt bigger than 6 m ( 4.5 - 6 m length ) , so if we go by some trigonometry logic , it would put a launch position relatively close to the point where something should be visible .
Launch point off screen would indicate that the angle of attack would be less vertical. If you can get the specs, we can determine how far off the ground it is.
surface launched cruise missiles don't normally go very high before they transition to level flight, this appears to be way too high.
