One does not simply take out a SAM system with a cruise missile, especially when that SAM system can also target the cruise missile. So how do you get a cruise missile to launch from the right spot where the SAM system radar can’t see it coming?

By using low-observable ("stealth") cruise missiles that fly at extremely low altitudes using terrain avoidance radar.
