And why would they need anything medium range ? they are not trying to cover large areas,

Because a tank factory is a strategic target which you would use ballistic/"hypersonic" missiles for. Well aside from the propaganda value that a German tank factory was destroyed. You can safely assume that the Russians are going to use their better stuff for that factory instead of firing at civilian buildings or train stations with refugees.
