I guess because of the range, this missile has a longer range and can be used to attack Russian territory, which will increase the intensity of the war.

Ukraine already has western weapons that can hit inside Russia. They have promised not to use them for that purpose and so far their word has been good. So I don't buy that excuse.

Ukraine have been hitting Russia for a long while now using their own hardware despite having western hardware that can do the job already. Storm shadow. The French version and ATACMS all calls have done it.
While it is what Germany is saying The concern that all of a sudden Ukraine would use western weapons on Russian soil seems like a weak argument.

It takes a while pounding the gap between the turret and the shell but eventually- Kaboom. It really shouldn't be possible.

Russian manufacturing can refurbish for another 2 to 3 years.
Ukraine Update: Russia can probably sustain a stalemate for only 3 more years
Republicans argue that �sending aid to Ukraine is a bottomless pit where American money disappears with no hope for a positive outcome. Without American aid, there is� justifiable pessimism ...

From "The Analyst":
RUSSIAN MILITARY PRODUCTION
With little or nothing to report from the frontlines, let’s take a look at what Russia is producing for the war.
The problem with military vehicles is two fold. Firstly the Russian new production capacity is largely at maximum - what is built is sent to the front and is consumed at a high rate by losses.
The other aspect is a secondary re-manufacturing of old suited soviet era equipment.
Rather than drag it out of storage and just send it, the process now is to gather up vehicles of every condition - and there are still several thousand BMP-1, 2 & 3 types, then examine them for viability.
Once they’ve been graded work
Is done to bring the best up to operational levels by using the parts from the least viable.
This process burns the candle from both ends. The worst at one end are cannibalised until they are scrap, while the best are sent to the front in working order. The supply of best vehicles actually gets worse and requires greater cannibalisation of more of the worst to make it operational. Eventually the best and the worst meet in the middle until there is nothing left. Those who analyse the stockpiled areas are basically of the opinion that the supply of vehicles that can be salvaged and deployed will run out this year. Finally the soviet legacy will
be gone.
The biggest problem is that only by not carrying out offensive operations can they build up any reserves to plan one. This is contrary to their attack to defend policy.
There are claims that about 1,100 men are added to the army each day. With an average death rate of 800+ that’s barely breaking even.
Missile production is said to be around 150 a month of all attack types, and around 300-350 shaheed drones are now being built in Russia per month.
The Russians have also started 3D mapping of Ukraine using high altitude drones. They had remarkably poor maps and data on developments since independence and now seem to be trying to make up for it. It’s not easy to see or do anything about these systems.
Russian war factories are working 7 day three shifts and domestically they appear to be at maximum production. It clearly isn’t enough to meet their needs.

The deputy head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev stated that Russia will always fight against Ukraine and that they will find a reason to attack either in 10 or 50 years.
“Ukraine's existence is mortally dangerous for Ukrainians. I am referring not only to the current state, the Bandera political regime. I'm talking about absolutely any type of Ukraine.
Why? The existence of an independent country on the historical Russian territories will now be a constant reason for the resumption of hostilities,” he said.
Medvedev also believes that "no matter how much Ukrainians wish death upon Russians now” and "no matter how much they hate the Russian leadership”, will one day allegedly choose not to eternally fight and perish, but live in a "great common state".
