G'day gents

I’ve just been reading about the Soviet Myasishchev M-52 Bounder supersonic bomber project of the 1950’s.
It mentions if it had of reached operational service, it would have been equipped with two ‘M-61 supersonic cruise missile’. Can anyone tell me if this air-launched cruise missile actually entered service, and if so what is it’s actual designation (including NATO name) please.

Regards

Never serviced, probably not even built.

Here are two pictures of Myasishchev's "61" (under OKB-23).
