Thinking about Fritz X, brought to mind the Soviet AS-4 Kitchen missile.
It had two modes of attack and one was a high altitude approach, once over the target it made a terminal dive into the target ship from 27,000 feet.
Just occurred to me that this is very similar to the Fritz. Since most of the Soviet AS missiles made their terminal Al flight at 1,000 feet or less, into the targets side. I wonder if they were consciously making an effort to copy the Fritz.
