I actually think you're giving them too much credit there.
The rockets the other day were clearly retaliatory. There was some expert on Radio 4 saying that Putin would likely have authorised them himself, which is why the targets didn't make much sense, because he has no idea what he's doing militarily speaking. I mean they could have used them to hit Ukrainian military targets, which would have made much more sense.
He's since said that 'there's no need for more massive strikes on Ukraine for now' - i.e. they've retaliated and Ukraine should think twice before embarrassing him again.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with the fact that missiles are expensive and Russia has already fired quite a lot of them.
Unfortunately we know they can deliver a nuke.

The thing that worries me is that the main reason ruzzians have been sending these rockets is to scope and maybe show they can deliver a nuke if they want to. The ugly truth is they don't give a rat's ass about where they hit as long as some pass through air-defense.
