    I guess the D variants are too long range? They might cause an escalation?

      Not sure if you’re being sarcastic? We tried holding back pretty much for years but Russia has been escalating regardless. There’s no point anymore, the logical thing is to supply everything Ukraine can effectively make use of.

      D are more expensive than C. Might as well use up your stock piles to build upgraded variants.

      R-27ER already has a range of 130KM.
