Large versus numerous anti-ship missile hits

How do the anti-ship missiles of the major naval powers compare?

Russian weapons favor very large effects per hit, Western weapons favor smaller and more numerous accurate hits, and Chinese systems blend Western influence with local design choices.

The major powers' anti-ship missiles are broadly capable but optimized in different ways. Russian systems tend to be large, so a successful hit carries severe destructive potential. Western weapons are generally smaller and more likely to produce several accurate hits instead of one enormous impact. Chinese designs follow much of the Western trajectory while retaining distinct Chinese choices rather than being simple copies.
