  1. In addition to the longer range of Iskander: you need the surveillance to guide them. People may think: yeah, Ukraine got NATO surveillance, but overall it's not that easy. Satellite images and alike are good enough to hit not moving structures - and that's what we see when it comes to those attacks from Ukraine. When it comes to fight a moving army, you need much more than that. Also: range alone doesn't help you, when the other side got the means to shoot it down. Longer range if not combined with higher speed leads to more time in the air, more time to detect it and shoot it down - if you don't attack the frontline, but for that they don't need high range missiles and if used to just keep distance to the front, they overall just got less effect than the smaller rockets, they got less of the big ones, those are single shot and by that can be easier intercepted than the barrage of small ones. In the end the main thing the long range missile can lead to is the possibility to keep the remaing HIMARS launchers from getting destroyed, but seeing the behaviour of coup regime Ukraine, I doubt that they actually gonna use it that way and instead will try to hit something in Russia or Crimea with it.

  2. The SU itself never wanted most of the countries they hold all these decades. They were forced to hold them to keep NATO fascism away from them.
