R-60 dead range is 300m, R-73 slightly more.
It won't arm itself and hit at closer range.
Staying closer than that keeps you safe anyway.

Still unclear how the Ukrainians wanted to use that missile(s).
Most people believe it was just to shoot without lock by the infrared. Others think it was to be used for shooting with hope that the infrared guidance will lock on something at sea or on shore while the missile is in flight.
Others think it is just an extra amount of explosive if the kamikaze boat hits something.

Very good until they find out those drones carry 250kg explosives with thousands of shrapnels that will destroy anything flying that close when destroyed.

If they are doing it to add explosive power to the drones then that is a bit self defeating because the propellant would be horribly vulnerable to even rifle calibre machine gun fire which would start a fire that could destroy the drone before it hits anything.
They are making their drones easier to destroy.

America is treating its puppet states like completely dispensable trash for nothing, because at best Lithuania could delay Russia's victory by a few weeks.

And economically. Only their harbors are useful, but only to export russian goods.but diplomatically speaking they are useless and so is their military.

Ukrainian army recruiters ‘abduct’ pro footballer – club
FC Khust says the move threatens the sport’s survival in Ukraine
Football clubs from around Ukraine are refusing to travel to Transcarpathian Region for games after recruiters snatched a key player of FC Khust from the local train station, the club said in an appeal for public support.
Nikolay Sirash was at the Khust train station on Tuesday when conscription enforcers seized him, the club said in a Facebook post. Sirash had just turned 25, but the new rules allowing the mobilization of men under 27 have yet to go into effect, the club noted.
“We have no contact with the player at the time, and his fate is unknown,” said FC Khust.

If Russia treated Ukrainian cities like Gaza, this whole thing would have ended in 2023
If Russia treats Baltics like Gaza, shit would end in less than a month
Before that both missiles were facing forward able to lock on before launch with an APU ready to give power to start launch
It is the same missile. Tore to two pieces by a warhead detonation. It is broken exactly at the warhead section.
Take a look at the vid made from heli - only one missile is there, the one on the left.
