I thought their Black Sea fleet legged it after their flagship got sunk
Which is also why they couldn't hold on to Snake Island. No real navy or sea based anti-air/missile defence.

A lot less people. A LOT less...They are perfectly safe so long as no one is a big enough moron to stick an ammo dump in one. Probably even then they may be fine but why play silly games?
What’s your alternative power source? Clean coal probably.
There is a tweet embedded there in my post but it's somehow vanished, yes it's perhaps that or possibly Neptune (given the antiradiation missiles might have helped with removing air defences that might otherwise intercept those).

OK, so what you are circuitously saying is they are far from safe should an enemy try to destroy one. Let's take a huge dam, and the wall is breached. How many die? For how long does the long term threat of death or serious illness remain? How long does the water damage last for? A sabotaged or blown up nuclear reactor?
The Russians are not playing "silly games", they are a ruthless fighting force willing to use all means at their disposal save, so far, nuclear weapons. The West are haemorrhaging money on a gigantic scale interfering in the conflict. Again I say this is not a cricket match, nor are the players bound by gentlemanly conduct. It's not a computer game, or simulation.

OSINT analysis so far reckons it was hit by an improvised Ukrainian drone or drones upgraded specifically for that mission which managed to hit something juicy setting off a chain of fires/explosions. Though I'm not entirely sold given how spread out some of it is.

That was during The troubles, The Troubles didn't start in 1969 it started back in 1916 and ran right up till the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. Today Russia has an ex KGB Dictator and Amnesty had KGB links and funding through him. "My enemy's enemy is my friend" doesn't absolve you from a past of terrorism and murder. This man apposed a peace treaty and started a civil war and lay claim to a neighbouring nation that came into being as a result of the actions of 1916 giving legitimacy to 30 plus years of all out terrorism directed at a civil population. Remember the IRA didn't just appear from under a fairy tree in 1969 they have been regularly carrying out attack around the border since its creation. Amnesty was lead by an unrepentant terrorist.

Short range....that tweet says that thing fires missiles as far as 1000km.
Heh - but by ballistic missile standards up to 1000km is short range.
I could be wrong, but pretty sure that relates to the vehicles range as in how far its fuel tanks will take it.
The Missile itself
Hrim-2 - Wikipedia
So very comparible to Iskander. In both specification and appearance, dosnt quite have the same payload capabilities.

As I thought, US are happy for Crimean targets to be used apparently.

Let's see you Heh'ing when you are 999 kilometres from the launch vehicle, and your GPS location is being keyed in
Yep, all they have really done since their derpy tank zerg was stopped is pound civilian areas with artillery until it's all flattened. But now it's not going to be so easy.
