Russia is low on precision missiles, and the sanctions will affect its replenishment/ supply lines.
Thats why we can see them using Iranian drones more akin to the v1 bombers.
This is not fact actually but supposition on wishful thinking.
Drones are a small fraction of the cost of what a cruise missile is. That's the real reason they would rather use drones over missiles, especially for non crucial targets.
I posted about this awhile back actually.
Kalibr cruise missile cost =6.5 million
Shaheed drone cost = ~20k per
That means you could fire over 300 drones for the cost of one Kailbr missile. It's about cost/benefit.
