no, not really, your options is small cluster warhead with longer range or 3x bigger cluster warhead with less range (the one used in berdyansk), neither of which are effective against armour, and then there's unitary variant, which would require direct or almost direct hit. so no, it's only good against soft targets: aircraft on runways (not in hardened hangars or such), SAM sites, ammo depots, radar installations, unarmoured vehicles, troops in the open and so on. unitary variant might be good against command centers

that's still a lot of valuable targets
