extended range V-1s). Not really possible in the short timeframe due
to a complete redesign of the missile for added fuel and more powerful
engine and refined aerodynamics. V-4 was already suited for the job.


Nope, no souped-up V-1s for the Soviets:

Since that V-4 worked so well, why didn't they put it into service?
