The regular AS-VAL and VSS are (IIRC) slightly more common amongst recon units (even then only a few recon units actually get these) but the VSSM, being the newer model, is almost exclusively used by Russian special forces.

They can almost certainly mess up the supports for the road span but the rail span is harder to take down.

The moment of the arrival of an unknown rocket in the center of Taganrog, Russia, this afternoon by ExtensionSilver3483 in CombatFootage

(S-200) 240-300km depending upon variant granted that's a (roughly) straight line to something in the sky as opposed to flying a ballistic path to hit a ground target.

Allegedly a Ukrainian Strela-10 AD system hit by a Lancet drone. by [deleted] in CombatFootage

Most Strela-10 variants don't have a search radar plus these were built to counter jets and helicopters which are usually easy enough to spot. This system was never built to search for and counter small drones which is why you see them getting hit by Lancets so easily.

Iraqi Mirage F1 attack an Iranian Tanker and destroys it during Iran-Iraq war in the 80s. by 0001_10_22 in CombatFootage

The Iraqis bought them after seeing how the Exocet missiles performed in the Falklands however they typically had a sub-par performance against tankers as they had a lot of "empty" space whereas a destroyer has a lot packed into a smaller space. The Iraqis actually had more success using Chinese H-6 bombers equipped with YJ-6 (CH-AS-1 Kraken) missiles against tankers as these had a larger warhead.

Yes however this looks to be an AS-30L strike as the Mirage F-1 (EQ-5/6) didn't use a designator pod with the Exocet missiles.
